"The Function of a Pig's Tail" is here to teach you to break free from the tragedy of working hard for little reward, to truly master your work, and no longer let it lead you around by the nose. —Dr. Vivien Ye (Ye Weiwei), Harvard University, Ph.D. in Human Resources and Psychology, Senior Career Planner, Potential Development Mentor
Pigs are always shaking their tails desperately. Fresh graduates and seasoned newcomers, if you are busy every day but your work remains chaotic, please pause for a moment and don’t rush to shake your tail like a pig. Pigs shake their tails, but they cannot drive away flies or show enthusiasm to their owners. Yet, they still shake their tails desperately every day. Their tragedy lies in not understanding that their actions are meaningless. Life requires skills, and work is no exception. Let’s compare our career journey to a life dance, whether it’s a tango or a waltz. Those in subordinate positions must coordinate with their bosses to complete this dance. Are you a "master dancer," or do you trip and even step on someone’s shiny shoes awkwardly? If you happen to belong to the latter, you must be eager to get out of this predicament. Improper work methods are like shaking your tail with a pig—completely pointless. This book is the wall filled with work tips. By carefully reading the vivid and interesting stories in it, you’ll find that they contain indispensable philosophy for handling work.
