This article 2600 words, patience to finish reading I believe you will have a harvest.
Do a survey first.
Do you like your present job?
My guess is 80% of the answer is no.
Even if again like things, do for a long time will be tired of. Just like two people fall in love, from the beginning of ecstatic, romantic, to the final flat, calm, and even occasionally quarrel.
Career is the same, no matter how much you like things, because of interpersonal relationship, promotion, income, work problems and other reasons to kill passion. Is that all you have to do?
Of course not.
When you stop looking for a career breakthrough or a new path, your career is basically over.
It may not be possible to find a favorite job, but it is entirely possible to find a job that you enjoy more and want to do more.
I know a girl who is one year younger than me. She was in the same club in college. She has a strong personality and always tries her best to achieve what she insists on. After graduation, she went to work for a well-known local real estate company in Hangzhou. She is a person in Hangzhou struggle, hard and substantial, monthly income has reached six figures.
I had expected her to work her way through the company for a few years, become middle management, and then work her way through the city. Unexpectedly, I talked with her last month and found that she had returned to her hometown. When asked why, she said, “My parents live far away from home. I wanted to spend some time with them, so I went back. Her income is down a lot, but she’s satisfied.”
Hearing this, I felt really happy for her. Maybe her current job is not her favorite, but at least she has found a proper way to balance work and life.
We also face a lot of uncertainty in our career choices.
You want to go to the company, may despise their own;
The industry you want to go to, and now you don’t know how to get there;
Originally thought that I would like the industry, the results to find that many situations and their own thought is not the same.
So, if we’re bored with this life path we don’t like, is there a way we can change it? Of course there is. I know a lot of people who have tried, tried, and changed their direction in life.
Wenzhou shoe-selling roommate with an annual income of 4 million yuan.
The former leader who left and started his own business with an annual profit of 20 million yuan.
Are writing their own legends. For more details, please read the article “Why AM I working so hard?”
Although they chose different directions, each of them found a career they liked better and reaped the results.
Charles Handy, an American management guru, once put forward the theory of the “second curve”. The theory is that the development of any enterprise is a parabola. Companies that want to remain undefeated must find a second curve that can grow before this curve goes downhill. The same principle can be applied to guide our lives.
To put it bluntly, if a person feels that there is no more he can do on the first curve, then make the choice as early as possible to find his “second curve” : to change himself, to learn new areas, to explore new possibilities. This change will allow him to live a better version of himself.
In March this year, I was successfully promoted to technical director. When I graduated, I did not expect that I would be the technical director of Dachang in 7 years. I never thought that I could lead a team of dozens of people as a “game boy”. More did not think that one day my public account article can affect a group of people, although I am still very small, but I did, really did.
I not only did it, but also gained more here: helping programmers who have lost their career development to find the direction, knowing many big names in the industry through my own efforts, helping the company to maintain its advantages in technology and so on.
I hope my we-media will be the “second curve” of my life. Although there is still a long way to go, AT least I am making continuous efforts and seeking changes.
Having said that, how do you find the second curve of your life?

Here, I would like to share some of my own experiences and insights:
Keep curious about the outside world
When you find that you don’t like your current job, the most frustrating thing is not that you don’t want to change, but that you don’t know how to change and what to change.
It’s probably because you’re not sensitive enough to the outside world, and you’re a little behind when something new happens.
Do not be preoccupied with the books of the sage and deaf to what is outside the window.
A few years ago, we media just entered the dividend period, and many people were hesitant to do it. As a result, the first group of people who did it are now influential figures on the Internet.
It is because of their keen sense of smell that they successfully caught the tuyere and became the pigs flying on the tuyere.
Speaking of which, it’s a shame I missed the bonus period.
So how do we stay alert to information?
First, pay attention to national policies
In recent years, the national level has been stressed: housing does not fry. Then you should know that the golden age of real estate is coming to an end. In the future, the development rate of this field is likely to gradually stabilize or even begin to decline, which means that opportunities will be relatively reduced. So, can see policy news more at ordinary times, general how many can have a little help.
Second, pay attention to the direction of investment and financing
As an ordinary person, don’t think that these investment and financing news has nothing to do with you. In fact, where the money flows, there is a draught, and opportunities will be concentrated there.
Between 2012 and 2015, for example, mobile Internet start-ups were very easy to fund and many people in the industry became financially free.
In recent years, capital has shifted to ARTIFICIAL intelligence, blockchain, new retail, and the Internet of Things, which means that the mobile Internet dividend is almost over. If you’re joining a social app startup now, you should be cautious.
Third, stay together for warmth
If you want to understand a business, of course, the best way is to find the people who are in the business. Of course, he has more information and will help you understand the company.
The same applies to your knowledge of a different industry and the need to find people in it.
Staying together is a proven way to grow faster over the centuries. So you can add me to wechat: PointersSS and stay warm together.
Second, continuous input
If you want to enter a new industry, the best way is to learn the basics of the industry and then use that knowledge to enter the industry.
There are a lot of students to consult me how to turn to the Internet, they will ask such a question mostly: Yuan, I also want to turn to the Internet, but I cast the resume have no message, how should do?
In fact, I want to say, you did not do this line of work before, but now want to enter the line of work and do not have the experience, is it not natural that your resume is not popular? If you really want to get into the business, don’t just give it a shot, but actually learn what you need to know. When you really put in, pay, but also master the necessary skills in the field, can get the corresponding reward.
No input, no output, it’s a simple truth.
Third, keep exploring
When I was in college, I also sold a house, which made me think I could become an elite salesman. Later, I worked as a salesman for 2 months. I couldn’t accept this kind of work. So, keep trying, after all, only try you know, this thing you really like.
You never know how much power you have inside you. Maybe the job you find for the first time is the one you are most suitable for and like. But more people have lost, looking for. If you belong to this kind of person, I hope this article can help you find the “second curve” of life, no longer confused, to the broad road.
