Did you know? Great careers come from playing!

The article begins by sharing a story: In the movie "Three Idiots", a little boy wants to become a photographer, but his father insists on letting him study engineering. He works as an engineer. If he had listened to his father's advice, he would never be happy in his life and would become a third-rate engineer. But if he becomes a photographer according to his own interests, not only will he be happy, but he will also become an excellent photographer. He does engineering. If he doesn't love this thing, he will treat work as work. But if he loves this thing, he will treat work as entertainment.

Remember one sentence: All great careers are made through play.

Your attitude towards work directly determines who you are:

1. Treat work as work

Do you still treat work as work? From the first day I entered the society, I never felt that work was a job. I regarded every job as part of my career. When you regard work as work, you will feel that you are doing it for the boss, so you cannot be motivated. You become a slave to money purely for the sake of making money. That kind of life is boring and meaningless. .

2. Treat work as a career

When you treat work as a career, you will feel that you are doing it for yourself. When your motivation changes, everything will change. When you feel When you are working for yourself, no matter how hard or tiring the work is, you will not complain because you are fighting for your own career.

3. Treat work as life

When Jack Ma resigned as CEO of Alibaba a few years ago, he said: Before the age of 45, work was my life. After the age of 45, life is my work. . He does not regard work as work or career at all. He directly enters the third realm and regards work as life. He has regarded work as a way of life.

4. Treat work as fun

If you want to surpass Jack Ma, you must treat work as fun! When you treat work as fun, congratulations, you have completely understood the meaning of life. The truth is, you will live happily and happily every day. Because you enjoy the fun that work brings you every day, you will be full of passion and devote yourself to it. You will find that I am particularly happy while working!

All great careers are born out of play. Treating work as play and fun is the highest state of work.

Just like Liu Xiang’s story. What did Liu Xiang do at the beginning? Liu Xiang was not a hurdler, but a 100-meter runner. After five years of running in obscurity, he was spotted by a coach. The coach said to him: "Xiao Xiang, you Have you ever played hurdles?" Liu Xiang said: "I have never played it! The coach said: "Then you go and try it!"

He went and found that it was really fun! It was better than that Sprinting was interesting, so he started playing! As a result, he found that it was not only fun, but also what he was good at, so he started playing and helped China win a gold medal at the Athens Olympics. , when he walked to the podium, when he put on the Chinese flag and the Chinese national anthem began to play, Liu Xiang found that this was not only fun, he was also good at it and it was meaningful!

If China wants to become The most powerful country in the world, strong sports will make the country strong. What he is doing is not only meaningful, but also supported by the country and has a trend!

Next, let’s focus on Jack Ma’s story! : I like to tell the story of Jack Ma because his attitude towards work is really representative. What did Jack Ma do back then? He was teaching English and he spoke English very well. That year, an American came to Hangzhou. Hangzhou invested in highway construction, but after signing the contract, the money was not paid. The Hangzhou city government asked Jack Ma to be a translator. The American said that we have something to do in the United States and I need to go back to deal with it. In this way, the Chinese side will send a representative back with me. After handling this matter, my money will arrive, and then the Chinese side said that Ma Yun should go!

Ma Yun went there in a daze. After he went there, he found that the other party was a gangster, so he caught him when he got there. , said to Ma Yun: "Xiaojie, I am a pervert. You have two choices now, either you can pervert with me, or you can be locked up here for the rest of your life!" Ma Yun said without even thinking: " Brothers, let's fuck together!" Then the American told him that you don't look like a good person, you look like an alien, and then he relaxed his vigilance. As a result, Ma Yun ran away while others were not paying attention.

At that time, a friend of his was in Seattle, and then he went to Seattle. After arriving in Seattle, his friend told him that there is a thing called the Internet. That thing, you only need to type a few words to get anything. Is there anything that Jack Ma is serious about?" His friend said: "Really! Ma Yun said: "Then let me type! Enter two words: "beer". All the beers from around the world are out, including Japanese and American!

As a result, at this time, Ma Yun said: "Why is there no China? Where is it?" Ma Yun found something wrong. There is no one in China. So, I will do this. I will collect the money in China and send you the information. I will send it via EMS and you will build the website for me, okay? His friend said: " OK! Jack Ma resigned when he returned home. After resigning, he started working on the Internet. The reason why he started working on the Internet was simply because he found it fun!

It was 1996. There was no Internet in China. There were not even computers. China didn’t even have computers. There was no broadband, so he started working on the Internet! He tried to persuade Chinese companies to build websites. He didn’t even know what the Internet or computers were. If he wanted others to build websites, would they do it?

What kind of internet is it? It’s all fake and I can’t even see it. At first glance, he was a liar. Ma Yun was scolded as a bitch for three years, but Ma Yun did not give up. Finally, he found a very famous hotel in Hangzhou. The hotel did not believe Ma Yun at first and was pestered by Ma Yun for two months. Unable to bear it anymore, they said to Ma Yun: "I'll give you 20,000 yuan. Don't come to me. Just do it!"

As a result, the matter was over. The website was completed half a year later, and Ma Yun didn't know about it. The website was ready. After nearly a year, China held a global conference. Many people from all over the world came to Beijing for the meeting. What people didn’t expect was that all of them stayed at the hotel in Hangzhou. The boss was very strange and asked them why they came to China?

They said: We came to Beijing for a meeting! The boss said: "Why are you staying here for a meeting in Beijing?" They said: "We checked online and found that this is the only hotel in China. We will stay here. We will stay here every day and fly to Beijing in the morning. Go, fly back after the meeting. At this time, the hotel owner understood what the Internet was like!

Ma Yun felt that this was more and more fun! The result was not only fun, but also fun for Ma Yun. As he played, he discovered that this matter was also his advantage, because Jack Ma is very eloquent! Sales is his advantage! And as he continued to do it, he found that this matter was very meaningful and could help Chinese companies sell their products abroad.

Until today, Alibaba is listed. In other words, when you regard work as fun, it is difficult for you to succeed!

So the problem is? You are now. What kind of attitude should you take towards work? Work, career, life or fun.

Your attitude determines everything!
