When you are facing the beautiful scenery during the跨越断桥activity in Beijing's outdoor training, and you forget your task just by enjoying the scenery, have you ever thought that we are also like this at work? Are we easily attracted by the scenery along the way? In our work, we often encounter difficulties and common tasks. It's also common for our leaders to assign us a task and require us to complete it independently. When you finish a task independently, without anyone supervising you, and rely on self-discipline to work, are you often attracted by the scenery outside of work? The temptations outside of work are hard for us to resist. When you are really tempted by charming scenery, will completing the task be as careless as crossing the broken bridge?
On the other side of the broken bridge, there might be a tall wall. When you climb up the broken bridge and prepare to challenge yourself, you see the wall facing you. It seems so close, as if you will hit the wall as soon as you jump over. Looking down along the wall, you realize how high you are standing. The wall gives you immense pressure, making it difficult for you to adjust your mindset no matter how hard you try. I've never stood in such a high, narrow place before. Can I jump over a bridge more than one meter wide? If I fall, it would be terrible. On the broken bridge, you warn yourself again and again that the difficulty is too great, beyond your capability.
In your work, would you also be like this? One day, an excellent colleague of yours leaves the company for some reason. The company leader finds you and asks you to take over his job. With excitement, you come to your colleague's position. While organizing the work materials, you discover how excellent your colleague was, doing his work meticulously. Even though he has left, he has left everything intact for you. Tasks that were hard for you to complete under normal circumstances have been done exceptionally well here. Sitting blankly in front of the desk, you think: "My former colleague was so excellent, can I do better than him?" "What if I don't do as well as him?" "I've never done these jobs before."
On the other side of the broken bridge, there may be other colleagues doing other high-altitude challenges. To compete with them on who finishes faster, when facing the challenge, you cross over without hesitation, without any fear or anxiety that others talk about. After returning to the ground, you feel calm, not as scared as they said. Actually, crossing the broken bridge is still scary. The reason why these fears haven't interfered with your performance is because during the process of completing the project, your competitive and indomitable spirit has influenced you. The indomitable spirit exists in each of our hearts, it's just that some people express it too strongly, while others hide it well. We need this indomitable spirit in our work and life. This positive upward indomitable spirit can help us succeed in our careers. However, there is a kind of indomitable spirit that we should avoid. For example, when driving, a car that you didn't look highly upon overtakes you very quickly. At this moment, we don't need the indomitable spirit, because this spirit can affect our safety. Therefore, we need to make a correct judgment about the indomitable spirit.
