As is known to all, "Granny Liu" is the representative of the poorest class in the society in the novel Dream of Red Mansions, and "Qiao Jie" is the daughter of Wang Xifeng, representing the rich girls in the novel. Then in today's workplace, who do "Granny Liu" and "Qiao Jie" refer to? We often use the phrase "Granny Liu enters the Grand View Garden" to describe someone who has no experience in the world. However, in the modern workplace, people like Granny Liu, who were born poor but are hardworking and willing to work, are highly sought after. In particular, in today's workplace, "Granny Liu" usually refers to those with low education but skilled in certain techniques, with low pay but remarkable work achievements. On the other hand, "Qiao Jie" refers to those employees with high education but low ability. These people often have a certain level of education, but lack practical operational skills. Although their promotion speed may be fast, it also depends on whether they have an advanced attitude, because such people need employees like "Granny Liu" to guide them for some time when they start working in any company. The "Qiao Jies" in the modern workplace often look down on "Granny Liu" type of personnel, because they think these people have no education, no quality or no taste. The "Qiao Jies" in the workplace always have a high opinion of themselves, only realizing the importance of "Granny Liu" when they reach a dead end.
So let's see, what abilities does "Granny Liu" have that enable her to save the desperate "Qiao Jie"? Actually, it can be summarized in two points: attitude and skills.
Attitude determines everything. What is the most taboo in the workplace? It's having high expectations but low abilities, just like how high-educated people often have the highest unemployment rate, thinking that having a high degree will guarantee a golden bowl. You must know, that era has passed. If high-educated people have anything more than others, it's just more learning experiences. But what does the workplace look at? It looks at your operational ability and practical skills, as well as your work attitude. As Coach Milu said, attitude determines everything!
The reason why Granny Liu has the ability to rescue Qiao Jie is that she first survives in the workplace and masters the means and skills of survival. At the same time, she places herself in an appropriate position. She doesn't steal or rob, doesn't deceive, but uses her own hands and skills to truly pay and gain. She doesn't complain, she knows contentment brings happiness. Such a person not only adapts to the social workplace, but also stays away from countless "syndromes" in the workplace.
Skills - professional qualifications for contemporary workplace practitioners. We often see such news: "# # college students return to technical schools for further study" or "# # college students undergo retraining", we all understand that this is a social phenomenon, and also a warning bell for the workplace, reminding all workplace professionals that the workplace needs not only theory, but more importantly, practice, skills, and authority. Therefore, the influence of qualification certification in the workplace is so significant.
Where does Granny Liu outperform Qiao Jie? It's in her professional skills. Granny Liu comes from a poor family, so she has developed a set of skills to work hard and support her family, which is our modern workplace professional skill; while Qiao Jie, being raised in seclusion, although her character and knowledge are good, she is always the pampered child in the walled city. Once outside the walls, she becomes nothing! Just like the countless "ivory tower aristocrats" flooding into the workplace now, when they leave the ivory tower, they realize that what they gained in the ivory tower is completely different from what the current workplace needs.
All this is a product of society and also a derivative of the workplace. The workplace refines and evolves its needs, leading to the emergence of professional qualification certification. This is the combination of Qiao Jie and Granny Liu, and the process is inevitable, as Qiao Jie inevitably learns skills from Granny Liu. Because she realizes that under this social system, in such a workplace environment, Granny Liu can exist without her knowledge, but she cannot exist without Granny Liu's skills. This is also why in today's workplace, all we see are skills and authority, excessive theory has been ignored or even criticized. If one wants to save their career, they need knowledge and enhanced skills. Is there any faster way than professional qualification certification?
Therefore, the laughingstock Granny Liu can open up a new path for the desperate Qiao Jie, which is not a coincidence, but rather the author has already seen that this is a necessary trend in social development. Just like in today's workplace, qualification certificates such as human resources, accountants, psychological counselors, etc., are highly pursued, precisely because of the severe shortage of such talents in the market. Therefore, our workplace "Qiao Jies" can consider choosing a direction of interest to enhance their workplace competitiveness.
