After graduating from university, Xiao Yu entered a large company as an intern. His biggest wish was to stay in the company, but he was arranged to work in the printing room of the company, all day long not to make forms or copy materials.

Less than a week into the job, Xiaoyu was in trouble. He thought that a graduate from a famous university could be assigned an important position in the company, which could not only exercise himself but also reflect his value, but contrary to his wish, he felt a little overqualified for the job.

To add insult to insult, someone in the company called her "cousin" and "Emperor of India," and a sense of disapproval set in. Every time he met classmates and friends, he shouted: "This work has no technical content, are people can do, boring dead people!"

There was a girl with him, Wang Xia. This "cousin" is a calm look. Be sure to print out the required forms and photocopy as many as you need each day. When it was all over, I just sat there staring at the screen and playing on the computer.

Xiao Yu thought: "Play, play, don't think about their future, what a responsible girl film."

At the end of the three-month internship, it's time to decide whether to stay or go. Xiaoyu thinks his chances of staying in the company are slim.

When the personnel director of the company released the list of retained personnel, he was surprised to find that Wang Xia was the first to be retained, and was appointed as the deputy director of the office! He was even a little angry now, and despite his inner complaint, he fulfilled the task assigned to him on time. It's not fair that an intern who plays computer games all day should be promoted to such an important position when she should leave immediately!

Unwilling to find the company's boss to ask a clear, in the office, the boss opened the computer, the content of the display let small Yu surprised unceasingly. It turned out that this was the total statistics of paper printed every day by Wang Xia during her internship in the company. She made page after page of PPT.

The distribution of printing volume over the five days is not the same. Monday 462, Tuesday 543, Wednesday 786, Thursday more than 400, Friday 573, there's a slight swing here. Then do it again next week, do it several times, and you'll see that the fluctuations are the same.

Next, Wang Xia counted how many copies of paper printed every day are drafted documents, and how many are formal documents and made a second-page PPT chart, which is the first day of the proportion is drafted documents, how many are printed official documents so that you can see a composition of the paper source.

After she finished her essay, she calculated how much money, on average, she could save if she printed all her drafts on both sides. Finally, calculate the total level of cost savings.

Xiao Yu's eyes of the girl movie "Play computer" originally play is this!

The boss said to Xiao Yu, "An intern can print and copy so clearly and transparentness, with information, data, solutions, and also evaluate the input and output. Having done this little thing to such an extent, my first thought was that she could become an office manager!"

Light rain after listening to face red, since sigh inferior, happily walked out of the boss's office.

If you drown your passion in petty complaints at the start of your career, you won't get the nod from your boss, no matter how glamorous your background is. The matter at hand in your eyes no matter how ordinary and simple, doing ordinary things well, is not ordinary; Doing simple things well is not simple. Like Wang Xia, they finally make themselves stand out on the printed paper. Putting yourself down, doing what you're good at, and doing your best, is the way to success.
