Power to Make a Turning Point (10) Personal Edition - Catching a Turning Point
It is a moment of turning when you have acquired a noble character and a new set of values and mission. Enthusiasm, physical strength and intelligence will be enhanced, and you will continue to take action to achieve your mission while displaying all our talents.
Even when challenges come one after another, it's the newly built relationships that save the day. When you reach a turning point, your comrades with the same mission gather around you. Comrades who sometimes encourage and sometimes point out become armor and swords and lead you to safety. You may be perplexed that close relationships were limited to family and friends, but having comrades is nothing less than your ability to grasp a turning point.
The new values you gain by continuing to act will wipe out the old values around you. You can't measure new values with the old scale. Working on a mission based on new values will point you in the right direction. You have acquired important qualities that will help you live a full life without being swayed by old values in the chaotic present and without getting lost in the direction you want to go.
Finally, I will tell you something I have not touched on before, namely my experience of what happens in daily life after a turning point. As a salaried worker, I was an ordinary person who went out into the world and continued to work for one company until retirement. What happens after a turning point is a limiting example, but I think you can feel the essence.
In conclusion, I had a checkered social life.
In the prologue, I reflected on my corporate life. There is no falsehood in the content. As you may have noticed, after a turning point, I always stood out in the organization. It wasn't just my boss and co-workers who looked positively at me because I was a salaried worker. There was no boss who didn't feel jealous when he saw someone coming directly to me, not his boss, for a consultation coming from another department. Some of my superiors thought the post might be in jeopardy, and they showed me a crude attitude. And I had been on the short end of the job many times, experienced demotion appointments, and suffered acts of power harassment.
But as someone who believed in the deepest values, I never bent myself and stuck to my beliefs. I wouldn't say I didn't have anxiety about the future, but I couldn't give up when I thought about the precious values beyond my beliefs, and even so, my honest feeling was that I believed in myself rather than inspiring myself. My feelings weren't affected by the way I was evaluated and treated at work, so I didn't get mental or whine about my plight.
In the salaried world, on the other hand, no one approached me in such a situation. We all knew if the words of those who sometimes thank me were genuine. At the time, there were a few people who were hanging spider silk on me at the bottom of the office. They were all from outside the company. When they heard about personnel changes, they went out of their way to call me in and give me advice. I was never more moved to tears than I was then.
I gained a variety of insights from my interactions with new people, tried to apply them within the company, and had the motivation to seize the turning point and sustain it, which helped me seize the next opportunity. There was always someone in the office who calmly watched how people behaved in a pinch. I really thought that in a pinch, the person's personality would be revealed. The turning point gave me a valuable experience. I was able to meet my comrades and feel a sense of fulfillment through friendly competition that helped the world.
Make a turning point, catch a turning point, and when you act, there will always be a wave around you. Not everyone is comfortable with the waves. There are always people who are annoyed that the waves have happened. It is a nuisance to those who are satisfied with the current situation. Making waves is like taking risks. There are a lot of people who are complaining and bawling when you have plucked up the courage to take a risk and the results of the challenge are not good enough.
But only with the challenges can we understand what's happening on the ground and look to the future. You can't measure an individual's potential by scoring or interviewing them. If you're a company, you can't paint a picture of the future in terms of profitability or market analysis. What motivates individuals and companies to take action, and what kind of mission do they follow? Because you've caught a turning point, you can develop the ability to see through uncertain times and the audacity to change your strategy as you see fit.
If you stick to it with conviction, you will always be able to see the future.
Glory to readers who dared to choose big waves over the great ocean of life.
