Correct judgment comes from experience, and experience often comes from wrong judgment. Just as Zhang Ailing said that you should become famous early, in fact, you should also make mistakes early.
Some time ago, Ai and my colleagues went to the ice rink for skating. There were four of us, me, Xiaohai, Yunzai, and Xiaoshuai. Among them, Xiao Hai is the best at roller skating among us, because other than him, the three of us are all novices. We will show up at the skating rink on time on Saturday night, not only to see beautiful women, but mainly to learn more skills in flirting with girls. Everyone should be able to guess what happened when we went there for the first time. A novice would inevitably have an accident on the road, and Yu Ting couldn't save this. Yunzai put on his skates and was helped into the venue by Xiao Hai. At this time, Xiao Hai turned around and helped me. Just when Xiaohai first received me, Comrade Yunzai lived up to expectations and handed over first blood. I still can't forget that day when Comrade Yun Tsai's plump body fell out of the standard dog-gnawing mud shape against the backdrop of the setting sun and that shocking scream. Xiaohai and I went over to help him up, and then Xiaohai went to pick up Xiaoshuai and enter the venue. At this time, I tried to skate by myself. I thought that since everyone has already entered the venue, they can sing whatever songs they want. I firmly remembered the techniques and formulas taught by Xiaohai, and slowly tried to keep my center of gravity and slide forward. What I am proud of is that I started sliding like this, experiencing the sliding and friction between the shoes under my feet and the ground... I was very proud at this time, thinking that learning to skate was just that. I was able to skate as soon as I came in, and I thought about the classic line I had shouted for four years in college: I am so damn witty, I am such a damn genius, hahahaha. As the saying goes - when things go to extremes, they will turn upside down, and when happiness reaches extremes, sadness will arise. Just as I was fussing, I wisely discovered a problem. Now I can only accelerate and slide but not decelerate and brake. How do I stop? However, everything was too coincidental. I didn’t need to think about this issue at all, and I didn’t have time to think about it. Because I turned a little too quickly at this time, there was a slight collision between the 1 o'clock position of the left engine and the 7 o'clock position of the right engine, causing the center of gravity of the fuselage to become abnormal and make an emergency landing. In adult terms, the two feet were touching each other. The collision caused me to fall. In this way, the enemy easily won a double kill in less than three minutes after the start. However, the tragedy did not end so quickly. Just like the Bible says, "To everyone who has, more will be given, so that he will have an abundance." The tragedy continues. When Xiaoshuai came up, we followed the principle of never abandoning or giving up, and unanimously voted to let Xiaoshuai skate by himself for a while. Needless to say, everyone can guess what happens next.
Since the single lane and all three lanes collapsed, we changed our tactics and wisely chose to fight in a group. At first, Xiao Hai led me, and then Yun Zai and Xiao Shuai supported me and slid together. Soon we witnessed a wave of double kills, and both Yun Zai and Xiao Shuai fell to the ground. It turns out that playing in a group is not a good idea, so we let Xiaohai take turns taking us. After taking each of us for two rounds, everyone felt a little better and felt that standing up was no longer a problem. At this time, Xiaohai went to experience the fun of skating by himself, leaving the three of us to skate together. Here I would like to say something very serious to all the comrades who are skating: There is a kind of love called letting go, and it is best for novices not to stick together. Because in the short five minutes we spent together and sliding together, we delivered three triple kills. The first time I skated with my colleagues was a miserable experience. It was not skating, it was just figure wrestling. Later, we let Xiaohai take us for a few rounds and then returned to the city with pain.
Many people may not continue to go to the skating rink after the painful lesson last time. However, real warriors dare to face the bleak life and face the dripping blood. Young people like us who are eager to learn, have ideals, morals, culture, and discipline will not give up on unlocking the skills of flirting just because of one obstacle. We were at the rink again the following Saturday night at the same time and place, the third week, and the fourth week. It’s the fifth week and we still go. But this time it got me thinking. When skating this time, Yunzi and I both started practicing backward skating. However, Xiaoshuai was still the same as the third time, gliding forward slowly and leisurely, without any extra cool moves, and his speed did not increase. The same teacher, the same teaching hours, why is there such a difference? At this time, I remembered that when we played for the third time, everyone could stand up and slide forward normally. We tried something challenging. We first tried to slide on the cat walk, which means lifting the left and right feet in turn as if walking, and then tried to speed up and cross the W-shaped roller coaster track of the skating rink. Of course, if you don't do it, you won't die. We have a lot of wrestling while doing this. It just so happened that this time, Xiaoshuai fell a few times and then chose to continue sliding forward smoothly, breaking away from the challenging gameplay of Yunzai and I. It was clear on the fourth time. Yunzai and I continued to play more challenging games, while Xiaoshuai continued to slide forward smoothly. He chose to stay in the comfort zone while Yunzai and I chose to stay in the study zone. In the learning area, you will encounter gameplay that you have never experienced before, and when you come into contact with new things, you will inevitably make mistakes. Mistakes often come with a price, so the fourth time Xiaoshuai rarely fell, but Yunzai and I still fell miserably. After all, Huang Tian pays off and all his efforts will not be in vain. By the time we were skating for the fifth time, Yunzai and I could already follow Xiao Hai and skate faster. We could also show off with small moves from time to time. When we saw a pretty girl, we could follow up and slide around others. However, Xiao Hai could only move monotonously. On the established track.
Coincidentally, on my fifth skating trip, I happened to meet several female colleagues who also came here to play. After four weeks of sharpening the sword, I could finally give it a try, so I decisively invited them to play with it. However, these female colleagues have pretty good skills. Except for Xiao Hai, we are just scumbags in front of them. So when we played together, it was actually their home court, and we played along. This time, Xiaohai’s performance was basically the same as that of her female colleagues. Yunzai and I could barely keep up. However, Comrade Xiaoshuai was miserable and often couldn’t keep up with the rhythm. Fell several times.
This reminds me of work. As a newcomer in the workplace, it is inevitable to make mistakes. In fact, the sooner you make mistakes, the better. As a newcomer, you actually have a privilege when it comes to making mistakes, because newcomers’ mistakes are easily accepted and forgiven. There is a saying among pessimists in the workplace that if you don’t do anything, you will be good, but if you do more, you will make mistakes. Admittedly, this sentence makes sense, but if you do nothing, how will you grow? If the probability of making a mistake is certain, the more you do, the more mistakes you will make. But what makes us grow suddenly in the workplace is often the mistakes we have made. It makes us take the initiative to find solutions to problems and allows us to remember the mistakes we made this time. Of course, when it comes to growing up in the workplace, the earlier the better. Therefore, when conditions permit, we must work hard to get involved in new projects, leave the comfort zone, continue to learn, and make mistakes as early as possible.
As I write this, another sentence comes to mind: Do you have ten years of work experience or one year of work experience that took ten years.
