Understanding society at the age of 14 - reading notes on "happiness at work"

introduction

The sales champion of the listed company dreams of entering the Disneyland in Japan , after 3 year 5 After a tough interview , But I was assigned to be a cleaner , It took me a little while to become a cleaner .

I don't know how many people can understand such people , The author is a person who can take moving bricks as designing the most beautiful house in the world , There are very few people who can think like this .

After reading this book, I feel that it is only a matter of time before excellent and hardworking people succeed , It can be done well in any position , Desire and envy to be such a person .

Some books commented that the narrative logic of this book is very similar to 《 The life and death confession of the zoo 》 And I recommend reading this book , I haven't seen all of them and can't compare and evaluate them , Some book reviews say that Japanese chicken soup is no different . But personally, I think that if I only read the chicken soup part of this book, it would be too shallow to read the book .

This book is about work , The author intended to 14 What a - year-old child wrote , Let them not repeat their original reluctance to learn and suffer from social life . But in my opinion, only real working adults can see the meaning of this book , The author understates his bitter experience while working to give the children a little light .

I think what this book should see more is the author's thinking and action when looking for a job , And how to communicate and solve problems at work , The change of thinking mode after changing from ordinary employees to management , And the impact of passion and reality in youth , How to achieve your life goals and personal changes are all worth savoring .

14 I have been unable to find e-books for a long time , I can't even get in touch with anyone , I can only say sorry in advance. There's nothing I can do .

Personal evaluation

Hold a strong desire in your heart , Use actions to realize your wishes , Only then has the possibility to achieve oneself .

The author has completed his life counter attack with strong action and the habit of thinking , Although as long as 15 New year's night shift + The social animal life of the day shift is lamentable , But I am glad that the author finally leaves Disney and starts his own business as a boss . Blessing others means blessing yourself .

It makes me sigh that the author has a wife who can understand himself so well and is firm , The author even needed his wife to find a part-time job to support his family because he was unable to enter Disney （ In the traditional concept, Japanese women do not work after marriage , Of course, modern times have changed a lot , But most of them don't work ）, Having such a family is obviously more precious than a dream .

Of course, the author lied to his wife in the following interviews , But I will definitely consult my wife on major issues, which can be said to be a very enviable relationship between husband and wife .

In my opinion, the most valuable part of this book is the author's action ability and very interesting independent thinking ability and sudden whims , Strong action force is to try the best solution immediately after thinking of it , Even if it is not very good at the beginning .

The courage to try is the key to the author's success , Although I spent a lot of useless effort with great enthusiasm and perseverance in my youth just to enter Disney , During reading, I also think his blind and enthusiastic behavior is childish , But from the author's later life, the hardships he suffered in his early days finally became his motivation to never stop .

Finally, my brief summary of this book is ： Treating work is like treating your life , There is no possibility that such a person will not succeed .

content analysis

The following is a brief introduction to the contents of the book and some personal views , In any case, the author showed us the unknown side of Disney with his autobiography , His own tortuous and ill fated life experience is also memorable .

3 year 5 Interview

The first section of this book tells the story of the author's three-year and five Disney interviews , The following is the author's general mental journey ：

Because I feel clean and tidy when I spend my honeymoon with my girlfriend in Disneyland , The author wants to work in Disney and dream of becoming a member of Disney , Like all ordinary people, the author imagines entering a great company and playing an important role , The author left a sentence in the book that touched me a lot ： I want to build the most beautiful amusement park in the world , There is no rubbish there , Only happiness . But this sentence seems to be a prophecy , In different directions .

A sentence that looks very encouraging but unexpected in chicken soup , After the author has a real dream , Immediately began to prepare for entering Disney .

So, without any psychological preparation, I decided to resign , However, I have to face three years of hard interview and job hunting life , But the whole life has also changed .

Sum up his five interviews , Several times it was almost at hand , But it was played by fate .

• The first interview was a handwritten letter to convey my enthusiasm and expectations for Disney work , Find a professional or insider to recommend yourself , In order to find professionals to recommend , Need to write a letter to the listed company CEO - Chuck .

  Although stupid and childish behavior , But sigh the courage of the author to implement the plan immediately after he thought of it , After that, the author found a professional English teacher from Shangzhi university to help modify grammar , And I sent my first application letter to Disney .

  After several twists and turns, though miraculously obtained CEO Your interview invitation , But because of her mother's serious illness and her own job opportunities , The tenacious confrontation of fate made him lose the most possible first opportunity .

• For the second interview, if the interview resume is not selected, you will lose the interview qualification , The author who has been unemployed for a long time has found a job as a salesman of a listed company in order to make a living , But I didn't expect that the author directly became a marketing champion in a listed company , I don't know how to evaluate ......

• For the third time, I told my wife that I wanted to go to the United States to find a relationship and push into Disney , Spend a lot of money to go to Disneyland to find someone who can help you , Although I finally summoned up the courage to find a small leader in the park who promised to arrange the internal promotion work , Finally, I lost the interview in Japan .

• The fourth resume was selected , But still lost in the tide of competition , At this point has been 2 More than years , The author had the idea of giving up , And find a trusted colleague to talk to , Relieve inner pressure .

• The fifth is the author's last hopeless attempt , After successfully passing the resume screening, I unexpectedly passed the very simple interview , But later I learned that I had delayed the relationship with the boss of the company where I used to work .

  Of course, in a word, I went in , The author has 30 s , But this is just the beginning .....

After reading this interview experience , I have to admire the author's perseverance and determination . I don't think I can do it anyway .

Disney

Walt Disney strives to build the most beautiful amusement park in the world , The meeting between Mr. chuck and Disney is the beginning of all chemical reactions , Of course, chuck is also an important person who changes the author's values and outlook on life .

Charlie Munger once said that he should work with his respected leader or boss , After reading that paragraph, I often have a little knowledge , But after reading this book, I have a deeper feeling .

The first lesson chuck taught the author was to set an example as a leader , And personally demonstrate how to clean the toilet , There are only a few leaders who can do this , This makes me think back to the company's projects in the past. I saw the self-developed framework code written by the boss himself , Looking at the boss' eyes, I can't help showing a little more respect , I think the author should feel the same way .

Setting an example from the perspective of leaders can not only shorten the distance with employees , It can also soothe people , It is a personnel management skill with little cost . I think it is also a management tool worth learning as a leader , To some extent, it can eliminate the gap between superiors and subordinates , Let the subordinates be more loyal .

The more interesting thing is that chuck's gift to each supervisor is a mirror with a small light bulb that can see the dead corner in the toilet , Chuck has maintained the other side of Disney's fairy tale world with his own ideas , This idea lasted until he left the world .

Disney certainly has a vicious side as capital , For example, do not turn on the air conditioner for the logistics office in the hot summer , It took the author three years to install air-conditioning in the rest room and the requirements were harsh , Here is some curiosity about how the author finally fulfilled the requirement of hiding the external air conditioner from tourists .

It is impossible for people to follow their own ideas without taking a detour , The author's experience fully interprets this sentence , The work is boring, but at the same time, we have to bear the hard working environment , I think a lot of people are disillusioned and leave after a period of contact .

On the other hand, the author's story shows us some of Disney's success “ Can't see ” The color of , After reading this book, I even had a strong longing for Disney , Well, I can only say that the author did a great job , It can be seen from the autobiography that he is a man who can't find too many faults .

Half of Disney's success comes from the beauty of its design , The other is to keep the amusement park clean , Because no one wants to make a fairytale clean paradise dirty , Logistics cleaning is really hard , The toilet should 45 Patrol once a minute , I think the author's initial inspection tour may have been shorter than this , The glass is so clean that people can't even see the glass. It's really difficult , As a migrant worker, I have to endure the lounge without air conditioning and the night shift life for several years , It is in this kind of suffering and beating that the author has come out step by step , Finally, he was invited by chuck to be a guest at home and loved by the big boss .

Behind the bright paradise , Is a group of people who pay silently .

The author's past

The author was also a rebellious teenager , Disney gave back all the pain of not studying hard when I was a child , Of course, being able to enter a top company like Disney naturally proves the strength of the author .

The author tells us from his own experience that it is not disgraceful to ride a donkey and look for a horse , Of course, when he was a salesman in a listed company, he didn't seem to ride a donkey , I have also achieved the sales champion , So excellent people can do very well in any environment .

I wonder if his colleagues would be foolish to see the best performing people in their company go to work as cleaners , I think it's strange to meet such people around me . It makes me think 《 The moon and Sixpence 》, There are always people in the world who can never understand .

Although only a simple one , But at the most desperate moment, the author chats with the trusted colleagues of the sales company where he was at that time , This is undoubtedly the key dialogue to save the author , Sometimes it's important to have a supportive and understanding acquaintance in times of despair , As for why not find a good friend instead of a colleague , I think it's because I'm afraid of my wife .

The author is definitely a very clever person , Even use what Charlie said “ In turn to , Always think the other way around ”, For example, the author did a very clever job in the real estate sales business, making use of such as “ No one wants to see what it looks like when they just bought a house and started construction ”, When the author really practices, he accidentally gets multiple bills , And in some seemingly “ This should have been ” The place has opened up its own completely different road .

The whole book reveals that keeping the habit of thinking is a very important thing , Adults need to think more .

Altruism

“ Before everyone is happy , You can't get happiness by yourself ”, This is from 《 Galaxy railway night 》 What Miyazawa Xianzhi, who lives for others, said , I think this sentence is also very appropriate to the main idea of this book .

Put aside other negative emotions , What the author has done is a happy job , They are the same as the takeout workers who deliver us takeout every day , Although sometimes I hate that their work doesn't agree with me , But I don't think anyone will hate these dedicated groups , More is to thank them for their silent efforts .

Whenever I pass by sanitation workers , I always think that they may work for a living or simply do not think at all , When we wake up at six every morning with the sound of sweeping the floor , Will you imagine what kind of life they are living ？

I used to think 《 Poor dad and rich dad 》 It's a book that inspires you to fight , On second thought, this is the author's extreme self-interest propaganda based on the perspective of his own capitalists , You can't accomplish great things by becoming a person of extreme egoism , Whether you admit it or not , The truly valuable wealth should be left to those who make people's lives more convenient .

Does the author rely on altruism for so long , The reason I want the author to insist on is very simple, that is, every smiling face who happily enters and leaves the amusement park .

Although the author hasn't read it at all, it doesn't hurt him to finish his work well , But the tourists don't know “ actor ” How many times of happiness and bitterness are there behind .

So sometimes a simple sentence “ thank you ”, Is the best expression of altruism .

summary

In a word, this bowl is closer to people “ Chicken soup ” The book is very touching , I think we can learn the following points from the author ：

1. What should be done should be done immediately , When you have built your most satisfactory solution, you should immediately implement it .
2. Work with people you respect , Sometimes it's more important to do the right thing than to do the right thing .
3. Keeping the habit of thinking is one of the keys to success .
4. People should have dreams and goals , So life won't be boring , Living is not like walking dead .

The author seems to have taken many detours , But every action of the author is a valuable experience to see through the rearview mirror , Some things can only be understood through experience .

At the end

How many people take work seriously as the greatest career in life ？ I respect all people who live for their goals and dreams , Even failure can't hide their glory .

Find what you really want to do , Be who you want to be , I think this is the most precious wealth in life .

But most of us stumble and lose ourselves in one way or another .
