If you could go back to when you first entered the workforce, what would you most like to say to your self at that time?

If the workplace is just like the first time

As for going back in time, there will be more fantasies before the age of 25. If I could go back and go back to the original starting point of my first career, what would I say to myself?

“Buy a house now”?

Most likely not. The specific operational details are vulnerable to the perturbation and diffusion of the butterfly effect and time scale. I may not even say anything, just look at the youth and laugh, because I have nothing to regret in the workplace for more than ten years. Although I walked slowly, but the direction is certain, I still believe in my heart that I can reach it.

But are there some things that really should have been known earlier and better?

There are still some.

The following two things, I will tell that youthful self.

The first is to use the fastest speed to find the thing you love—the one you are best at.

Finding love is no longer easy. Extensive experimentation, self-examination, and the test of time. But love alone is not enough. Compare with talent points, existing skill points, and evolution speed, and quickly lock in. This is related to the general direction of the career. The sooner it is finalized, the sooner it will start. Before the direction is determined, all winds are headwinds.

The second is to write down the principles of life as soon as possible. The workplace needs some clear and definite principles. They are the bottom line of life and the boundary of action. When thinking about it, you can think again and again to determine what you want, but you have no regrets. Once established, you can do it even when the sky falls. For example, if honesty is written, even if the sky falls, you must believe what you say. Slowly, the quality of “reliability” will shine on you. Please note: It is to write down. It must be concrete when writing. You can’t just think in your head. You must form words to force yourself to be clear, and it is also convenient for comparison in future actions. How valuable a person is depends on how valuable your principles are. The principles are established, and the certainty of your life begins to take shape. Legislation for yourself is the most important step in standing up your soul.

Alright, this young man, both weapons have been handed to you, please take them well. Next, whether to pass the test, or to play in the mountains and waters, you choose! Just remember, after slaughtering the dragon, don’t become a dragon, jump over the abyss, don’t look back, cross the hill, don’t be afraid of no one waiting, because at least there is me, on the other side of the mountain!
