Features: A successful career life starts with proper positioning. Many people fail to achieve success because they don’t know what they want to do, what they can do, or whether their actions align with the development trajectory of their company. In short, they fail to decide their position based on their actual abilities and strengths. Position determines role, and role reflects value. Finding the right position is both a science and an art. It determines your fate and influences your future. How to find the right position and how to accurately position yourself within a role are matters that require no room for carelessness or mistakes. Otherwise, our lives may become aimless, marked by failure and disappointment. What is the relationship between position, role, and value? It’s obvious: position determines role, and role reflects value. Our position can be arranged by others, or we can choose it ourselves. We are the feet, and the position is the shoe. The purpose of putting on shoes is to keep warm and to walk. But the primary purpose is to walk. While the road is made by the feet, the type of road taken, the distance traveled, the posture while walking, and the mood all depend on the shoes. Therefore, we must find the right shoes—not just ones that fit, but ones that are suitable. This book provides an in-depth yet accessible discussion and practical exploration by the editor on how to choose the right position and accurately position oneself within it. The theory and practice are combined, leaving readers with reflection and awakening. It not only teaches us how to be a person and do things but also helps us, based on self-awareness and understanding of society, to recognize the distance between ourselves and our positions.
