Cousin Tongtong is a girl who loves to eat and play, fashionable and dressed, but she doesn't like reading and learning.
After three years of high school, the college entrance examination scores were unexpectedly miserable.
Tong Tong refused to repeat her studies or go to a technical school. she said that she was really not the material to study and was determined to go to society.
Aunts and uncles are honest small potatoes who make a living by running a small business. They have neither background nor resources to arrange a good way out for Tongtong, so let me persuade Tongtong.
I asked her what she thought. She said that even if she didn't want to study, she didn't want to spend any more money at home. She wanted to work or learn beauty salon. She likes to dress up and is interested in beauty salon.
I told her that there are two options for learning beauty salon: one is to be an apprentice in a store with little or no salary. Whether you can learn skills depends on your personal effort.
The other is to go to a professional beauty salon school to study, the tuition is more expensive, you can first work to save enough tuition fees and then to sign up for study, so that learning is faster and more efficient.
She didn't want to be an apprentice because she didn't want to earn much money, so she went to work in the south with her little sister and became an assembly line worker in the factory.
When she went there, she said that she went to Beijing to study beauty salon after working to save enough tuition.
During the Spring Festival, I saw her with an iPhone in her hand, wearing a fashionable dress and heavy makeup that did not match her age.
I asked her if she had saved enough tuition.
She said with a look of disdain: forget it. I'm not going to learn. I don't earn enough to spend on my own every month. How can I save money?
Besides, I think it's good to work. I can earn thousands of yuan every month. I can buy clothes and cosmetics I like. I learn beauty salon in order to make money.
I shook my head helplessly.
Tong Tong worked in the south for another year and then fell in love with a boy. Unmarried pregnant, hastily married, married to become a full-time housewife, stay-at-home mother.
Her husband is also a boy who works together, does not earn much money, and can not bear the responsibility of being a husband and a father.
Their lives depend entirely on their parents-in-law, and it is inevitable that they will look at people's faces and breath, and live like chickens and dogs.
Once my cousin went back to her mother's house and wanted to buy two bottles of good wine for her father. She went to ask her parents-in-law for money, but she didn't get the money, and she was satirized by her parents-in-law.
My cousin called me and cried loudly. She said that she should have listened to me and saved enough tuition to learn beauty and hairdressing. After two years as an assembly line worker, she didn't learn anything and spent her money long ago. Now she wants to make money but has no skills.
When the child was more than one year old, my cousin asked her parents to look after the child and went to Beijing to learn beauty and hairdressing with the wedding gift money accumulated in her hand, majoring in embroidery.
My cousin, who returned from her studies, opened a studio to embrow eyebrows and embroider eyebrows, lip lines and eyeliner. When business is good, she earns thousands a day.
She said with emotion that at that time, she thought it was very important to earn a few thousand yuan. She could buy clothes, mobile phones and cosmetics. Now I know that when I was young, what was more important than making money was to make myself more valuable.
My younger brother majored in polymer materials at university. after graduation, he first moved to several factories, all of which were not suitable.
Later found his present company, the scale is very big, the benefit is also very good, he applied to the research and development department, follows an old master to do the product formula research and development work.
At the end of the probation period, the boss talked to him and asked him if he would like to sign a five-year talent training contract with the company.
That is to say, the company provided resources to train him to become a professional R & D personnel, but he could not leave within five years, with a starting salary of only 4,000 yuan, increasing year by year.
If he breaks the contract halfway, he will have to pay high liquidated damages.
Because compared with his classmates' monthly salary of 810,000 yuan, the monthly salary of 4,000 yuan is pitifully low, but the resources and growth environment provided by the company are indeed very attractive.
My brother hesitated to ask me for advice.
I said, sign it, don't focus on the small money in front of you, for young college graduates, what is more important than making money is to make themselves more valuable, and this company provides an opportunity to make him more valuable.
My younger brother signed a contract and really worked in that company for five years.
Because of this contract, my brother is no longer looking at the mountains and is always thinking about job-hopping. Assiduously study, their own growth and progress is very fast, but also brought good benefits to the company.
Although the salary is not high, the company is in charge of food and housing, and the boss gives him a generous year-end bonus at the end of the year.
When the contract expired, his younger brother not only paid the down payment he had saved to buy the first house in his life, but also was promoted to be the manager of the research and development department. He was fully able to take charge of the company, was called Wang Gong, and his monthly salary was already over 10,000. Last year, a project he was working on also applied for a national patent.
My younger brother did not struggle with the level of salary when he just graduated, but seized the opportunity that is more suitable for his own growth and development, so that he can grow and improve and become more valuable and valuable.
Only in this way can he rise abruptly based on his accumulated strength and achieve his thriving career.
In my advice on Young people's first Job, former Google executive Wu Jun talked about the importance of people's first job.
He says that even if the first job pays 20% less than in other companies, you should choose to stay if you have a lot of room for growth.
Because it will help you grow quickly, help you develop good professional habits, and help you have the ability to take a broad view of the industry and seize opportunities quickly.
Wu Jun said: I found that whether in China or in the United States, more people care about 20% of their salary than those who pay attention to their own growth, so it leaves opportunities for people with ambition.
As Wu Jun said, although it is very important for people to make money when they are young, it is really not so important to make money compared to allowing themselves to have more growth, greater promotion, and make themselves more valuable.
After the performance of the Spring Festival Gala, Hu GE said in an exclusive interview with CCTV News: 2017 will be his study stage and continue his studies.
Shortly after that, some netizens revealed that Hu GE was applying for a visa at the US Embassy and confirmed that Hu GE would go to the United States to study.
Nearly two years of "camouflage" and "Nirvana in Fire" made Hu GE return to A-list actor status, and won the Golden Eagle Festival most popular actor award, Magnolia Award and other honors.
At this time, most people will choose to take more movies, attend more activities, and take advantage of their popularity to make money as soon as possible. However, Hu GE chose to put down everything in front of him, study in a down-to-earth manner and improve himself.
Hu GE has not made any movies and TV dramas since the "hunting ground" was killed in March 2016. The only thing that can be regarded as acting is that he performed the play "Dream like a Dream" some time ago.
This year, Hu GE is going to the United States to study and recharge.
Some people call him a psychopath, but what Hu GE understands is that at present, what is more important than making money is to improve yourself, give yourself more room for growth, and make yourself more meaningful and valuable.
High-level people all know that in some stages of life, what is more important than making money is to grow up and make yourself more valuable before you can make more money.
I subscribed to a wealth management column on an APP last year.
After learning it, he embarked on the road of wealth and freedom.
A few months later, I relearned the concepts of metacognitive ability, deliberate connection, backwardness and persistence, but did not talk about how to make money.
Some people are worried and ask why they don't teach us to make money and lead us to achieve wealth and freedom to the pinnacle of life.
The teacher said in the column: I will not teach you how to make money, only how to be more valuable.
Luo Fang Luo Zhenyu also said in his New year's speech that many readers were deceived by the words "wealth and freedom" in "the Road to Wealth and Freedom".
As the teacher said, learning how to make yourself more valuable is more important than making money.
When your cognitive model and thinking mode are poor, how can you have a strong ability to make money?
On the contrary, when you continue to learn and grow, improve your understanding of the world and change your way of thinking, you can make yourself more valuable, seize opportunities effectively and make more money when opportunities come.
What is more important than making money is to make yourself more valuable.
