I recently saw a sentence, “Working time is for the stomach, spare time is for the future!” I am deeply moved, which also confirms my views on spare time management. Of course, this sentence is more for working people. For friends who have already started a business, there is no such problem, because at this time, working time and spare time are all their own time, all for their own work. It is also said that those who do not study within eight hours will be eliminated by society. Although the sense of crisis will not be so severe, it is not far off. Especially in the Internet industry, knowledge is changing with each passing day, and if you are not careful, you are on the verge of obsolescence. Anyone who can become a product manager will always have a sense of crisis and urgency, because the environment and the foreseeable future will force us. To learn.
First of all, there are many types of work. To be a monk hitting the clock for a day, first of all, this kind of unit can not be found, and secondly, this kind of position is rare, and then this kind of person can be regarded as the best; the hardworking and accumulating experience type, most of them are newcomers It’s a pity that newcomers like this are also very difficult to see now, most of them are relatively impetuous; as for the old fritters, they will be like this after working for a long time. There is no other reason, either they can’t find a better job, or they lose. The goal and direction are lost, that is to say, the passion is consumed. But we often tell ourselves that we can’t do this, we must be a new person with goals, direction, passion, ideas, and courage. It’s just that it’s more difficult to do it. In addition to environmental factors, why so many people start businesses now is because there are fewer and fewer people with ideas, so that suddenly some people take the lead, giving people the illusion that there are still so many entrepreneurs.
The basic stage of work-making a living
People must first solve the problem of eating. For example, they need to have a job to bring in income. This is the above-mentioned work time is for food. There are not a few people who go to work simply for this purpose. For a stable job, civil servants who test civil servants, those who enter state-owned enterprises, and some enterprises and institutions occupy a large part. This is not bad. It is definitely better than a college graduate who can’t find a job. It depends on everyone’s life attitude and career plan.
Advanced stage of work-career
When eating is no longer a problem, work will gradually become a career, a spiritual pursuit and a sense of accomplishment. Anyone who can get to this point must have worked for a period of time and can only achieve the understanding after several years of work experience. At this time, I will still work hard and start striving for outstanding performance in order to realize my self-worth. There are two premises. One is that there is such a company worthy of your contribution; the other is that there is such a team that will help you.
The final stage of work-happiness
Working is happy, and I feel that work is full of fun. There is still a big gap between this and doing the job you want to do. Many people may be lucky to find a job they like as soon as they graduate, but in fact they are not happy working in it. This stage is the ideal stage for most working people. There are many influencing factors. In addition to having a good attitude, the surrounding environment must also have such a soil to cultivate a happy working atmosphere. This is an upgraded version that can be met but cannot be met. It can be seen that ideals are often full, and reality is often very skinny.
The illusory stage of work-ecstasy
Oneself and work are completely integrated, and work is an inseparable part of life and life. Excluding the factors of self-employment, I personally think that this stage will not be reached at all, especially in the domestic environment. How noble personal accomplishment is necessary to contribute all to the company? Of course, patriotism should be ruled out a little bit. For example, working for someone else in the upper shift is an example. On TV, it is often described that an outstanding worker possesses a spirit of selflessness, but that is not the case at all. So I call this stage illusory and unattainable.
The above are all about working at work. Generally, it is not easy to reach the second stage. It just happens that you can drink your employer to the eye, and there is a team that allows you to play your own value. In fact, I personally think that going to work is to a large extent to accumulate experience. Regardless of whether you have ideas or not, the accumulated experience is your personal value. So first of all, people who have accumulated experience are more valuable than those who do not, and secondly, experience accumulation is better This is the reason that people who are worth more than people who have accumulated badly.
Let’s talk about starting a business or preparing to start a business. In the past year or two, since the Internet has developed, including mobile Internet, entrepreneurship has not been a very new and exciting topic. What attracts attention is nothing more than other people. To funds. Therefore, entrepreneurship is no surprise. Some people say that entrepreneurship has become an attitude to life. I don’t know if this sentence is suitable for all industries, but it should be very suitable for product managers in all Internet industries. It can be said that a product manager who does not want to start a business is not a good product manager. Everyone will more or less have some ideas of their own. The reason is that the product manager has a wider contact, more information and a broader perspective. Therefore, there will be more foresight in some cognition. Nowadays, most of the small and famous entrepreneurs are from product managers, and often such products are more recognized because they are too familiar with the industry, and the things they make must have been screened. But sometimes it is also a disadvantage. It is generally not the mainstream users of the product that come to find the fault, but the expert users. The expert users only account for a small part. It is definitely not worth the gain to satisfy the ego and sacrifice the ego.
I have no entrepreneurial experience, but I have ideas. Why do you say that your spare time is for the future? It is to use spare time to prepare for a business and do what you want to do. How to use your spare time? As long as you have realized that you want to use your spare time, this problem will naturally not exist. There are often a lot of plans and no actual operation. This is the real problem. With the rapid development of the Internet industry, it is difficult to keep up with the times without charging. Moreover, no one can be a generalist. You need to reserve knowledge in different aspects, such as marketing knowledge, financial knowledge, etc. There should not be much contact with this knowledge within the scope of the product manager’s job responsibilities, and all need to use business time to learn.
Moreover, the information sharing of the entire domestic industry is not very good. Although there are many product manager forums and gatherings, there are not many truly valuable ones. Some are subject to expressive ability, some are subject to commercial secrets, and more. Many may still lack a good communication and sharing platform, so I very much agree that product managers open personal blogs and maintain a good habit of summarizing and sharing. Two apples can only be shared by two people. If two people share two ideas, everyone will have two ideas.
Before accumulating enough experience and ability to meet the needs of entrepreneurship, work is still very necessary, and it is necessary to work very hard to accumulate more experience and build personal reputation. After all, the circle is so small. Big Internet companies go back and forth. Work with ideas, not blindly, and make good use of spare time as much as possible instead of continuing to act as an otaku. This article is more to encourage myself, I hope 2013 will have a good harvest.
