Do not take refuge in things, and do not run away from your responsibilities.

Read this passage:

"The word life is not easy to say, all the pressure of work, full of the world, so only want to be with reliable people, down to earth, share the storm."

The more I experience, the more I feel lucky to be around reliable people.

They are thorough and considerate and rarely give trouble.

A reliable person often begins with commitment, diligence in attitude, into talent, and finally character.

01

Begin by Taking Charge

Albert, the author of Letters to Garcia, once asked a prominent corporate executive, "How do you look at different candidates?"

The executives mentioned one thing: people without a sense of responsibility will not be taken into consideration in any case.

Unreliable people, when they encounter problems, avoid them like an ostrich and put the blame on others.

Dependable people who can carry things and stand the test of time.

In the early years, there was a screen article called "Yao Ming's best thing is not playing basketball", in which a detail was mentioned.

Yao Ming began serving as president of the Chinese Basketball Association after his retirement.

In the last Olympic trials, the Chinese team lost to Poland and did not qualify for the Olympics.

Chinese fans had a hard time accepting it, and the internet was full of accusations and abuse.

Yao Ming, who is the chairman of the Basketball Association, was surrounded by the media, and a reporter asked, "If the responsibility must be borne by someone, who will it be?"

Yao Ming reddened his eyes and answered with one word in a decisive manner, "Me!"

As the old saying goes, one does not take refuge in things, and one does not run away from one's responsibilities.

Dependable people, encountering difficulties, never escape, they will first reflect on themselves and take the initiative to take responsibility.

There is no shortage of smart people in this world, what is lacking is people with commitment.

Konosuke Matsushita, the founder of Japan's Matsushita Electric, once got his employees to sign up for a significant amount of business.

However, after the goods were successfully delivered, this company had operational problems and could not get the money to pay off the arrears.

The employee in charge of this operation was jittery and ready to be sacked by the company.

But when the supervisor told Konosuke Matsushita about it, he didn't get mad:

"This business, I decided to sign. As a manager, I made the decision without knowing enough about the other party's operation, and I am responsible for any problems.

How am I to blame the young man who acted on my advice?"

A person's resume is no more glamorous, no more clever means, but no more than a person with responsibility.

The writer Maugham said, "The most effective way to want a man to show what he is, is to make him responsible."

Whether it's a family, career or social responsibility, you shouldn't shirk what is yours to bear.

People who are committed are the ones who keep their families grounded, their leaders at ease, and their neighbours secure.

02

diligent in attitude

Kazuo Inamori once said, "What I value most in an employee is not his ability, but his attitude in doing things.

In life, there are too many people who do things, like to work perfunctorily and casually.

Truly reliable people seek perfection in everything they do and strive to do everything to the best of their ability.

Tang Jun, a professional manager, was an ordinary programmer of Microsoft in earlier years.

After working for a while, he noticed a problem:

Microsoft systems are distributed globally and the code has to be rewritten for each translated version.

This is not only labour-intensive, but also delays the launch of the language versions by a year.

In fact, many Honourable colleagues have also noticed this problem, but they have chosen to turn a blind eye to it.

Tang didn't do that, he kept researching the solution and wrote more than 30,000 source codes to the leaders.

The code he wrote not only reduced labour expenses but also accelerated time-to-market.

The leader appreciated Tang's attitude of doing things and decided to let him lead the team and redesign the development system.

Just like that, Tang Jun was promoted to department manager and got long-term equity return.

Givko, editor-in-chief of Fortune magazine, has said:Pattern determines the ending, attitude determines the height.

Often times, it's not professional competence, but the degree of intention that makes a thing work well.

The attitude with which a person approaches life will be rewarded by life.

03

rise above one's ability

There is a segment circulating on the internet.

A netizen sent a help letter saying that his company is going to organise a big event and asked for recommendations of reliable hosts.

One person commented, "Recommend Kang Hui, He Gui, and Dong Qing. All one of them at random has to do is stand on the stage and your event is secure."

The fact that Kang Hui is the top candidate recommended by the netizens lies in the fact that he possesses convincing professionalism.

He has been called a "god" in CCTV.

A while back, Kang Hui was once again capped for a super long spoken word segment.

On 2 December, the total length of the broadcast of the "news broadcast" 76 minutes, Kang Hui's oral broadcast accounted for 61 minutes, he alone undertook the amount of 80% oral broadcast, which is a clear indication of the weight of the task.

After the programme aired, Kang Hui rushed to the hot search, praised by netizens: top business skills.

In fact, before, Li Zimeng has revealed that as long as he is paired with Kang Hui, but whenever he encounters an urgent, big or difficult draft, Kang Hui is in charge of it.

The leaders entrusted this work to him more than to anyone else.

With his superb professional ability, Kang Hui now serves as the director of the broadcasting department of the CCTV News Centre.

Whether a person can put people at ease requires not only soft power, but also a strong professional ability to support.

The more capable you are, the more reassuring it is to do things, and it also means you have more opportunities than others.

In today's day and age, wistfulness is ultimately a minority, and the majority of people are not wistful enough.

At last, a man of character.

Guo Degang once revealed in the programme that in the past, when recruiting disciples, it was mainly based on talent and ability, but now it is mainly based on character.

There's a saying that while your intelligence and talent determine what you get, your character, on the other hand, will determine where you end up.

Everyone at the end of the day, it's all about character.

There was a scene on a job search programme where this happened.

A young guy who is a perennial pin-up, he always answers all the tough questions from the interviewer.

His excellent performance pleased everyone in the room.

An interviewer then asked him to give an example of one thing he had done that best demonstrated competence.

The guy replied that he had managed to recommend a $5,000 training course to his cleaning aunts, who earned $3,000 a month.

The young man thought he had answered perfectly, but a week later he did not receive an offer.

He called the interviewer, who said bluntly, I don't doubt your ability, but I don't think much of your character.

The guy does have great sales skills, but his character is evident when he sells products to janitors that he simply can't afford.

Bacon said, "A man must not be judged by his wealth and birth, much less by his learning, but by his true character."

Character, the most valuable passport a person can have.

Deep friendships with people of good character can be exchanged for inner certainty and solidity.

China Youth Daily has done a social questionnaire survey:

The survey showed that 98.9% of the respondents said that there are unreliable people around them, of which 27.0% of the respondents are surrounded by very many unreliable people.

Among them, 45.2% of the respondents said that when they encountered unreliable people, they would avoid them if they could and try not to spend any more time with them.

People who are reliable are actually issuing their own credit currency and accumulating credit assets.

Those who are not reliable lose their credit assets in a single act of faithlessness.
