Features: Throughout history, there are few who can dare to self-recommend as bravely as Bao Zhao. From a young age, we are taught to be humble, reserved, and restrained, always hoping to relive the story of the Three Visits to Zhuge Liang rather than the lesson of Mo Zhu's self-recommendation. Everyone seems to think that only if a Bo Le visits them three times will they gain face, but don't forget that the current talent market has a feature of supply exceeding demand. If we don't proactively approach the market, we will fail in the workplace. Don't be too concerned about your pride and ego—spend some thought and effort to promote yourself, or else no one will care who you are. To prove yourself, it's best to first proactively make others know you, remember you, accept you, and appreciate you. Remember: even if Zhuge Liang were alive today, he would have to work hard to promote himself.
