The meaning of work

I usually feel anxious about my work. I have thought about it many times, but I haven’t found out the real reason for it. Sometimes I thought out a reason, but with the time pasted, I found that I was wrong. It wasn’t the true reason.

Today when some colleagues were talking about the tenth anniversary of going public, I was thinking about what would I feel when I am standing on the stage in December 2021(2021 is the 10th year I entered the company. In our company, when you joined after 10 years, you will be invited to stand on the stage in anniversary and Boss will send you a gift to thank you for your contribution). I think I might feel extremely anxious.

Why? The reason may be the lack of yield.

Once upon a time, I thought the reason was my lacking of skills. I don’t master at development. My front-end development skills are very bad. So at that moment, I thought my only way to get rid of anxiety was to improve these skills.

But I was wrong. Companies are profit-oriented systems, when you make enough yield, you will have enough reason to exist, too.

Skills? Experiences? Who cares?

So don’t regard yourself as a developer or a manager, regard yourself as a businessman. Find businesses, make profits, enhance yield, that is the right way of work, and that is the only way to survive.

Life is not easy, keep striving.
