If you doubt that, think of the animals in the zoo.
Lack of competition for a long time makes them dull, gentle, and generally less sensitive and able to survive. If the zoo were to close, the beasts would return to the primeval forest: the paradise they were meant to be. Can you imagine, in a predatory world of natural selection, whether they would be as resilient and competitive as those who have never been coddled by a zoo?
We see the same thing in today’s workplace. Those who have been coddled by the industry, those who have been coddled by the industry, when they return to the rules of free competition, ask: who will protect them?
Job security is dangerous. Because it is protected from the outside, those who have been protected for a long time can seem unable to adapt and even panic when things change. After all, the lack of competition has greatly weakened their competitiveness. At such times, blaming others and giving up on oneself is the usual course of action, but it has little effect.
Some people will see the crux of the problem: society is hardly responsible for all this, and it is itself that is the key to solving the problem. They began to seek a new sense of security, after all, that is a human need.
Soon, a new type of security gained acceptance. It emphasizes the use of their ability to protect themselves, and whenever the environment changes, they change with it. At the same time, the workers also gain more initiative, because they can strengthen the security factor by improving various capabilities. It’s called: Job security.
Job security is safe because the protection comes from you. Like the beasts of the forest, they have always been safe by increasing their strength.
You’ll find that those who rely on job security tend to be passive, calculating and reluctant to give, giving little thought to improving themselves to become competitive, and dreaming that someone will protect them for the rest of their lives. Those who strive for career security, on the other hand, do not give up any opportunity easily, even if there is no immediate reward, because they know that the improvement of ability means the security of the future.
Today, more and more people have realized that external protection can only create passive, incompetent and uncompetitive workers, and that real protection must be earned by oneself. If you feel the same way, congratulations and welcome to the paradise of free competitors.
