How to treat slash youth? Do you want to be a slash youth?

Recently, the word "slash youth" is getting worse and worse in the street.

Some people flaunt "monthly income100000", "weekly income of five figures" and "daily income of 2 million" under the banner of "slash youth", while others refute that "slash youth does not need to earn100000". It seems that money is indispensable for everything.

I mean, you earn100000 a month. What do I care?

It's a pity that a good concept is ruined like this. I can't help writing about this topic (there is really nothing else to write about).

Not long ago, a slash god said, I made slashes for money. Otherwise, do I get up at 5 o'clock every morning, go home from work, work hard, buy books and attend training classes, in order to "serve the people"?

Yes, for the money. Yes, that's understandable. Everyone loves money, and no one will hold a grudge against it.

But always talking about how much money you have earned, for fear that the world will not know, makes people feel very depressed.

In addition, this will have a very bad influence: let people who don't understand subconsciously draw an equal sign between slash youth and money. The most terrible thing is to regard money as the only pursuit of slash, and even naively think that once slash, it is easy to make big money.

This belongs to 24k pure "tirelessly destroying people". The word "slash youth" has also been brought into the abyss by you.

Remind slash's brain-dead fans here, please understand such a basic common sense: everyone's success cannot be completely replicated. There is a specific time and a specific environment. Others can earn100000 a month by doing this. Even if you copy it completely, it is difficult to achieve this effect, because times have changed. So, wake up.

Well, having said that, let's be fair to the slash youth.

1? What is slash youth?

The word "Slash youth" comes from English slash and from The New York Times columnist merrick? Albert's book "Double Occupation" refers to a group of people who no longer meet the lifestyle of "single occupation" but choose a diversified life with multiple occupations and identities.

These people will use diagonal lines to distinguish themselves in their self-introduction, such as reporter/actor/photographer Zhang San, and "diagonal lines" have become synonymous with them.

In recent years, slash youth has become more and more popular and has gradually become a lifestyle that young people are keen on.

I first learned this word from an article "Multiple occupations will become a new trend of global development". Susan Kuang, the author of the article, claims to be a post-80s generation who insists on independent thinking. This paper mainly discusses the inevitable reason why "slash youth" has become the future trend. This article is rich in content and full of arguments. After reading it, people applauded: I have said everything I want to say. This is the lifestyle I want. I'm not the only one who thinks so! ! ! Then, the concept of "slash youth" suddenly appeared in my mind, and I deeply agree with this lifestyle.

The article said that with the continuous development of social economy, young people are no longer satisfied with the employment mechanism of fixed time and fixed place left over from the industrial era; They are no longer satisfied with the boring and repetitive work arranged for them by the fine social division of labor. They are more willing to do what they are interested in and have several jobs. For example, programmers who write code in the company during the day become independent book reviewers at night and hand-drawn trainers for children at weekends. Multiple identities, to name a few.

According to the article, with talents replacing capital as the most important factor of production, enterprises may not continue to be the best form of talent organization. With the in-depth development of the mobile Internet, individuals can directly provide services and get paid through online and offline means. The more skills you have, the more ways you can get paid. This becomes a slash.

This diversified lifestyle is their choice based on free will and the inevitable result of their pursuit of all-round personal development.

2? Is it difficult to be a slash youth?

Tell you mercilessly, it's hard!

If you want to be a slash, you must first have a relatively stable job as a backing to ensure a steady supply of food. And on the basis of doing this job well, there is still enough time to manage your slash. How much diagonal time can you use? Nothing more than spare time after work, weekends, holidays and so on. So, what makes you think that you can achieve the market competitiveness of full-time staff by these spare time?

Susan Kuang mentioned above, she didn't slash right after graduation. First, she worked in a company for six years. In these six years, she always felt strongly depressed and bound: on the one hand, she was confined to a limited range of functions by commercial organizations with clear division of labor and could not give full play to her all-round advantages; On the one hand, she is under the pressure of output and data every day, which greatly suppresses her creativity. Even so, she persisted for six years, and after feeling that her ability had been cultivated, she chose to leave her job and work full-time.

She wrote in "My Slash Lifestyle": "I can support Slash's lifestyle because I have comprehensive comprehensive ability: both artistic and ideal, both rational and logical; Not only understand business, but also understand human nature; Can speak, write and design; In addition, there is a strong ability to learn, think, create and execute. " Do you know that?/You know what?

You are familiar with the Six Gods. He earns 2 million a day. Why didn't he quit his job and become a cleaner? Perhaps the biggest reason is that slash income is still unstable. This month's income is six figures. Once it stops, it may be zero next month. As a result, the Six Gods wound up their clockwork and studied and participated in training as hard as chicken blood, in order to expand the so-called poor "information asymmetry" and maintain their status in the rivers and lakes.

Their slash fields are knowledge management, time management, personal IP and so on. The courses they teach are just simple methodology. They are just porters of knowledge, and they have no deep processing of knowledge, so they are easy to be imitated. So, they are anxious, just like a pulled donkey. Only by constantly rotating can they ensure uninterrupted food.

However, even so, can you do it?

Do you have his powerful internal drive? Do you have his real execution? You didn't. Tell you the way to success, you may not be able to do it, because you are lazy; Even if you do, it may not be more successful, because times have changed.

3? My understanding of slash youth

Han Han said that ideals and feelings are like underwear, so there is no need to show them to everyone. Even underwear with gold edges is just underwear.

The same is true of how much money you earn. Just like underwear. You just need to know for yourself. Even if your underwear is valuable, there is no need to show it. Shouting how much money you have earned every day, is there really nothing to show off except money?

What is even more exasperating is that they are still shouting money with the gimmick of "slash youth". Please, please don't ruin the word, okay?

Slash youth is a state in which one pursues all-round and free development. Enjoy a colorful life. If we can bring some income by the way, everyone will be happy. No income and no need to be strict with yourself. We can't take making money as the sole purpose of slashes. Because it is easy to walk sideways. It's easy to forget why you started because you walked too far.

Susan Kuang is a true slash youth. She develops a series of products in many different fields. Today is a humanities-related project, tomorrow is writing and logic, the day after tomorrow is English, and then maybe dancing and other arts. The work content is rich and interesting, and it will never be boring because of repetition. This frequent cross-disciplinary switching makes the brain in a highly active state, making the thinking more tired and flexible, and the creativity is getting stronger and stronger.

In addition, multiple occupations have also brought her economic advantages. Multiple occupations mean multiple incomes, and you never have to worry about income being cut off, because each project has an independent cash flow "pipeline" that does not affect each other. Even if one pipeline is broken and there are other pipelines, she will continue to build new pipelines. Try to manage every pipeline and turn them into continuous, preferably passive cash flow, so that her total income can maintain steady growth.

In fact, what impressed me the most was not how abundant her cash flow was, but her happiness and satisfaction with the current living conditions revealed between the lines, as well as her rigorous, practical, low-key and luxurious writing. This let me see what a slash youth should look like. I think this should be the slash life we are pursuing.

If you think that slashes bring more anxiety and anxiety than happiness, then you'd better not slash. Maybe screw work suits you better.

Finally, I want to say, whether you are a slash or not, please remember that how much money you earn is not the most important thing. The important thing is to do what you like and enjoy the process.
