Did you know? In addition to investment and finance, I used to be a drummer and even played in a band. As long as I was with a group of friends, I would do whatever I wanted, very passionate and full of youth. At that time, we participated in a band competition and without hesitation, rented a very expensive practice space. If I remember correctly, it was about RM150 each time (that's RM150 10 years ago). I was just a student at the time, I did odd jobs but didn't make much money. So I had to work especially hard during practice, after all, every minute was the price of a KFC meal! Unfortunately, the competition results did not match our efforts. We only got fourth place... and there were only 5 groups participating in the competition... 'Wow, this must be a conspiracy!' Honestly, I also wanted to admit... but we lost because of the lead singer. I don't want to blame others, but that's just how the competition works - the lead singer's score accounted for 80% of the total. At that time, I witnessed the power of the 80/20 rule for the first time. That's why in a 5-member band, there can only ever be one lead singer standing in the most prominent position. The group that got first place, apart from having superior skills, their lead singer's appearance and style were also very attractive. That's why even though the other band members' performance was not outstanding, they were able to score higher overall than us. Looking back on this, I realized, '#It's more important to be with the right people than to do the right thing.' Let's talk about work, in any organization, there is always a superior-subordinate relationship. The kind of person the leader is is important, because they can determine your career. Especially for newcomers who have just entered the workforce, they are usually in a state of confusion. If today you find the right role model, willing to teach you attentively and provide resources, you will definitely grow faster than others who entered at the same time. At that point, your life will be about climbing several steps in a year, rather than taking years to climb one step. But if they are not that kind of person, you might need to put in much more effort. The right boss can turn your hard work into money, while the wrong boss will turn your money into hard work. After saying so much, so how do you find the right person? My answer is: switch. If you find that you can't achieve quality growth, that achievements are credited to the leader, and problems are blamed on the subordinates, then you should leave quickly. '#Falling into the water today, #isn't really scary. #What's scary is not taking action, #not escaping. Only by finding the right direction can you go further. Only by being with the right person can you become better. Only by becoming a better version of yourself can you become someone else's 'right person' in the future.
