Why is there no "passion" at work? Give you four suggestions to find pleasure in your work.

There is a problem in the Jianghu in the workplace, and Xia knows that Yang came to the rescue.

I wrote an article before, saying why I regard "interest" as my career, but I can't do my job well.

The article mentions a point: a career that starts with interest needs to be supported by many factors, such as treatment, sense of accomplishment, sense of value and personal persistence.

So I come to a conclusion: if you regard "interest" as a career, then you can't do a good job.

But we found that if many people don't take interest as their career, they will get tired of this job and lose their "passion" for it.

If you have no passion for a job, you will use "I'm not interested" as a shield to "deceive yourself".

In fact, the main reason why we are not passionate about a certain job is actually "interest".

Then since I regard "interest" as a profession, why can't I do it well? I want to say that my enthusiasm for work also depends on interest.

This seemingly contradictory view is actually not contradictory.

Because the "interest" here is not the "interest" as a profession, but the "interest" to be found in the work.

One is to have an existing "interest" and then have a job.

The other is to have a "job" first and then find interest.

The causal relationship between the two is different, so there is no contradiction.

If passion is the driving force of work, then interest is to ignite the fire of passion.

On the road to success, passion is lasting and can provide continuous motivation.

This passion must come from the heart, and the guidance of inner interest is the reason why the passion lasts.

Mr. Kai-Fu Lee, founder and CEO of innovation works, once described the relationship between interest, passion and success.

He believes that it is not easy to find your real interest, and it may take a lot of twists and turns. However, once interest is discovered, everyone can succeed under the impetus of passion.

In real life, we are not unaware of the importance of interest to our work passion, but we still can't keep our work passion.

As Han Han said, a classic and heart-wrenching sentence:

"I've heard too much truth, but I still can't live a good life."

Everyone will tell the truth, but when doing practical work, not everyone can find interest to keep their passion for work, so as to constantly supplement their motivation for work.

So, what we need is "method".

In the opening paragraph of the second section of this article, do you think this is a very common phenomenon in our work?

Yes, this is the "negative feeling" that The Truth brings to our work.

So before giving you my advice on "finding interest in work", let's take a look at some wrong "finding passion" phenomena in the workplace.

The first one: too much "chicken blood" is counterproductive.

For example, I know a friend who works as a marketing director in a company. He holds a morning meeting for employees every day and a party in the afternoon. The department group should fight chicken blood, the circle of friends should fight chicken blood, and even the work meeting should be fought chicken blood. Even if you eat, you should beat the chicken blood. Over time, employees became immune and even disgusted with his "chicken blood", and finally their enthusiasm for work did not get substantial improvement, but declined.

Too often, it's not that employees don't have passion for work, but that management overemphasizes "passion", which eventually leads to counterproductive.

In my opinion, most managers seem to have no substantive management ability except "fighting chicken blood".

This phenomenon is extremely common in the workplace.

Therefore, this excessive "chicken blood" way to enhance work passion may be "overexert", which is counterproductive.

The second type: don't do "communication" and go your own way.

For example, I have a classmate who always belongs to the "hard work" type, whether at school or after work. In order to keep himself excited about his study or work, he sets many goals for himself every day. Then "stop" and devote yourself to "forgetting me" and hardly communicate with others.

I have to say that this way of working that forces me to stay "excited" is also a way to find my passion for work.

However, in the workplace, going it alone is not necessarily a good idea. Because the workplace is a team-based working environment, and teams need to communicate.

Employees like my classmates, even if you have a "passionate" state, may not be suitable for the workplace.

Moreover, the work that goes its own way may have gone astray, and the "communication" in the process of work can completely avoid this problem.

So this too "self" work passion, don't let it be.

The third type: "give up" lightly, half-hearted.

Example: I have a former colleague who worked in our company for about half a year when he resigned, and then went to another company. When he asked me to resign, he said that he was "not interested in this job". Two years later, he changed four or five companies, but he did the same job. Once I was really curious and asked him why he often jumped ship. The answer he gave me was: "I have never found a job that interests me."

Have you found that this has happened to many people? In fact, they think that changing jobs will make them more passionate. But in fact, as soon as their freshness is over, they will immediately fall into the mood of "no interest".

The key problem is that no matter which company you go to, you still do the same type of work.

In fact, the biggest reason why they have been "not interested" may not be the company, but the profession.

Plus, once something goes wrong, you will give up. Of course, this half-hearted professional life can't keep her enthusiasm for work.

Fourth: Don't be "mad" and let others kill you.

Example: The company has a colleague whose position belongs to the top management. For a time, the company's performance was not very good. The boss "painstakingly" looked for him for a long time and finally deducted the bonus that should have been given to him. Although he didn't want to, he accepted the result. After that, his whole working state fell into a downturn and he was at a loss. I don't have any enthusiasm for my work.

There are too many business owners around us who like to let their employees do the most with the least money.

This colleague in my company is very capable and passionate. However, due to being "squeezed" by the boss, I dare not refute and lose my passion for work.

Empathy, anyone in this situation, it is impossible to be as passionate as before.

But actually, have we ever thought about it? In fact, if we are "crazy", maybe the boss won't deduct the bonus? Because bosses like to pinch soft persimmons.

So blindly "forbearing" may greatly reduce your enthusiasm for work.

Have you found that in fact, these cases of "looking for passion" abound in our workplace?

Therefore, if we want to keep our passion in our work, we need to find interest in it.

In other words, we need to find "fun" at work.

This is what I'm talking about. We should not regard "interest" as a career, but find interest in our work.

So how should we find interest when we are hungry at work?

Whether you can find interest in your work determines whether you can continue to be passionate about your work.

So we need to calm down and ask ourselves four questions. These four questions are my four suggestions for you:

Issue 1: Can I learn anything from this job?

What I have been doing is marketing. The biggest reason why I am passionate about marketing is that this job is "endless". I learn new marketing knowledge almost every day. If you learn a little, you will make progress. If you make progress, you will be one step closer to success.

This feeling of being a little closer to success makes me very interested in my work.

A word from the Great Xia: Isn't it fun to accept the challenge of the unknown, let yourself grow and overcome the ignorance?

Second: Can I make others grow?

I like sharing, just like my current experience is shared with you. Because every time I share my knowledge, someone will grow under my influence. And this pleasure of "letting others grow" can only be felt by those who have really experienced it.

It is this kind of fun that makes me passionate about my "work".

Hero comment: "Helping others" can not only make you feel happy, but also enjoy the feeling of being "worshipped". Isn't it cool? (especially looking at the little eyes they worship, don't taste too cool. )

Third: How much money can this job earn?

The key to keeping my enthusiasm for work is that I can make money from my present job. Making money here is not making visible money, but making more money by keeping passion.

So I take making money as my greatest interest, so that I can keep my passion for work.

After all, my interest is not work, but money!

Hero comment: Don't talk to me about "passion", my interest is money!

Fourth: Do I dare to "defend" my work?

Just like the fourth "wrong" phenomenon mentioned above, when someone makes a "threat" in any aspect of your work, do you want to "get angry" to defend your desire to work?

If not, then you need to find a point that can make you "crazy", and this point is the source of your passion for work.

As I said before, my interest is money. If the boss dares to deduct my bonus, I will be furious.

Hero comment: whoever dares to move my interests is my enemy!

Summary:

If you want to keep your passion in your work, you must find the points of interest or fun in your work.

Therefore, I suggest that by improving myself at work and sharing what I have learned, I can help others, earn more money while enjoying the worship of others, and defend my "interests".

In this way, we actually found the pleasure of work, thus maintaining the passion of work.

But everyone's situation is different, so I personally suggest that you can make appropriate adjustments according to your own situation.

The ultimate goal is only one: to find interest (or fun) in the work, so that interest can give work passion.

I am a "hero in the workplace", thank you for reading.

So the topic of this issue is: What is the greatest pleasure of your current job?
