WORKLIFE Matter #0004

1. In this world, it seems like taking shortcuts is the right thing to do, while doing things earnestly is considered foolish. However, those who appear shrewd may seem to get what they want temporarily, but it's only fleeting. On the other hand, those who understand the value of sincerity in their actions can achieve long-term benefits.

2. Getting angry truly serves no purpose. Annoying things won't disappear automatically because of your anger, and people who don't understand you won't change because of your anger. In fact, it may lead to a worse outcome and harm oneself. For example, a father was criticized by his boss at the company. When he got home, he scolded the child who was jumping up and down on the sofa. The child was so angry that he kicked the cat rolling next to him. The cat fled into the street, just as a truck drove by. The driver quickly got out of the way, but hit and injured the child on the side of the road. This is the domino effect of anger, or "kick the cat." Therefore, it's important not to get angry.

3. While one's appearance may not determine everything, it is the most important first impression between people. Our appearance doesn't necessarily have to be extravagant but it must be clean.

4. Facing life's difficulties, some people hesitate and fear facing challenges, while others boldly move forward. Overcoming hardships is the only way to enter a utopia.

5. All imagination and reasoning will be overturned at the moment of action. Is it because we think too much or because taking action is too difficult? Without enough confidence, it is difficult to sustain one's pursuit.

6. Life tests us to make our lives beautiful and vast. Some hardships are self-inflicted, while others are unavoidable. Regardless of the circumstances, maintaining one's principles and steadfast character is the foundation for creating a beautiful life.

7. In the ups and downs of a business, what is the most crucial variable? The entrepreneur. There are different types of entrepreneurs. For instance, in the early stages, they can innovate and create something entirely new. Another example, in times of crisis, when everyone doubts, they can turn adversity into an advantage. Another type is, in difficulties, they can unite everyone, instill a belief that we can overcome challenges, and believe that the company, despite facing numerous difficulties, will surely endure.

8. Sickness, accidents, setbacks in one's career, etc. Hardships will not last forever, and of course, luck will not always continue. It's important not to be arrogant in success and not to be despondent in failure.

9. Love is like knitting a sweater, each stitch contributes to the sweetness. But with just a light tug, all the beauty can disappear in an instant, leaving only the twisted yarn.

10. A man should treat a woman as his own, respect her, love her, and understand her. If you treat her well, she will be more dedicated to the family. If you treat her poorly, she will harbor resentment, live with bitterness, and the family will be affected. Thus, the family will not be harmonious, and various conflicts will arise.

11. Research shows that an animal rewarded for good performance better than one that is criticized for poor performance. Further studies also indicate that humans exhibit the same response. Taking a critical approach will not lead to progressive change in your child; it will only lead to resentment and rejection.
