Matthew effect

Today I went to learn about a sales position in the AI ​​field. The entire company is indeed very large, but the company’s products are just like the products of other companies I have encountered in the past, which makes me not interested. Since almost all companies do this, the disadvantages of their products are less obvious. But the interesting thing is that the sales method this time is mainly through electronic sales. Although I can’t say I’m disgusted, due to the limitations of my past knowledge, I do find this kind of work difficult to do, and it can easily destroy people’s fighting spirit. But is this the case? After the interview, I also paid special attention to the working status of the company’s telemarketing employees. It turned out that it was not as passionate as I originally imagined, but the extremely calm voice of sales calls filled the room, which was no different from my usual state of making phone calls. They said that if they want to achieve their basic salary, there are KPI requirements. But I really don’t know how difficult it is to achieve the KPI. Maybe it won’t be too difficult to achieve? After all, the sound of the phone in their lobby may have corroborated this…

This morning I needed to get up early and go out for a long trip, so I experienced the morning air and sunshine again this morning. At that time, I felt so refreshed and comfortable, as if I had been reborn, and my whole body was full of energy, which provided me with sufficient energy support for the next work. This also made me hate myself for thinking too much the night before and causing insomnia, so it was extremely difficult for me to get up in the morning. It was in this state that I spent day after day with myself. So having a good routine is really an important cornerstone for success.

Four months ago, I set myself a goal of reading the Bible by the end of June this year, and I was very recent when I really worked so hard to achieve it. With such a heavy focus on each day of work, self-improvement habits have slowly developed. I have learned a lot from the rough and careful way, even though I can’t figure out the exact meaning of every scripture in order to keep up the pace. For example, from the experience of the mission of Jesus Christ, I realized that the pedagogic method of teaching, which had been applied from a long time ago, was still an extremely important pedagogic method. Of course, in the chapters of Matthew, the Gospel, and Marco, I have also taken some interesting inspiration from those metaphors.

The most impressive of these are the stories of the masters of Matthews and the three servants: a master gave him three slaves before leaving the house, five suns, two suns and one silver, and after the master came back, he made five gallons of that silver, and two suns of it, and the last one was held in his hand for fear of loss. The last master gave more to the first two and confiscated the sun from the last servant. And said: “Anything is added to him, that is more than it is.” No, even he’s gonna take all of it.

I am impressed by this, but at different stages of growth my own understanding of the meaning of the “Marta effect” varies. This effect does not even have to be found in the vast commercial world, and it is visible in the light that I feel in the early morning of today.

The game of peace and energy is the moth effect at the micro level:

• When I was in vain and anxious the previous night (in an attempt to resolve all uncertainty in my mind, like burying silver in the earth), I not only did not get an answer, but even lost the next day’s energy assets (“even if he had to take over”).

• On the contrary, when I have a refreshing morning, that full state of mind (some) becomes a lever for me to deal with challenges efficiently all day long, so that it collides like a snowball.

Nature and the law of the body have long written this secret into the morning air…
