Society is a complex and cruel arena, and we face various challenges and difficulties every day. Sometimes, we are treated unfairly or even maliciously attacked by others. How to protect yourself in such an environment and avoid being beaten up by society? The following are 10 practical suggestions I have summarized, I hope they will be helpful to you. 1. Create scarce value. In an organization, you have to be indispensable so that others can trust you and rely on you. You have to provide some value that is difficult to replace by others, such as professional skills, unique insights, important resources, etc. At the same time, you must maintain your independence, avoid relying too much on others, and be ready to respond to changes at any time. 2. Collect valid information. Information is power. You need to consciously collect and organize various useful information, such as industry dynamics, market trends, competitor situations, etc. You should appropriately demonstrate your information advantages when communicating with others, so that others feel that you are knowledgeable and valuable. In this way, you can seize more opportunities and avoid some risks. 3. Anti-Emotional Instinct. Emotions are human beings’ greatest weakness. Many times, we are swayed by our emotions and make irrational decisions. For example, you want to refute when you hear criticism, you feel inflated when you hear praise, you have difficulty controlling yourself when you see a beautiful member of the opposite sex, you want to buy when you see an advertisement, etc. These instincts can make us irrational and get us into trouble. Therefore, we must learn to control our emotions and not be led by them. 4. Decision making is slow. Decisions are key factors that influence our destiny. Many times, we make wrong decisions because we are eager for quick results. For example, when investing, you are greedy for high returns and ignore the risks; when you are in love, you ignore the shortcomings; when you are working, you blindly change jobs and ignore the prospects, etc. These decisions may cause us significant losses. Therefore, we need to spend more time thinking when making important decisions. If it involves others, we can also communicate with them more and listen to their opinions. This way, we can make more reliable decisions. 5. Familiar with dark rules. There are always some hidden rules in organizations, which may affect the organization’s operations and distribution of interests. If we don’t understand these dark rules, we can get hurt by them. For example, who developed the various processes? What are the interests behind these processes? Who has the final decision-making and financial power? Who has the connection behind it? Who is used to doing things beyond the bottom line? These issues require us to explore and understand. 6. Fight back with rules. When we are harassed or attacked by others, we cannot allow others to bully us, nor can we blindly fight back. We must be good at using rules and disciplines to protect ourselves. For example, if someone harasses you, you can keep the evidence and then scare him. If he does this again next time, he will die. This way, you can help him get out of trouble and avoid getting into trouble yourself. 7. Diversified sources of dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that makes us feel happy. If we have a single source of dopamine, we may be controlled by that source. For example, many people are led by the opposite sex because only the opposite sex makes them feel great happiness. But if this person can enjoy dopamine in work, life, entertainment, food, movies, etc., he will not be easily controlled. . Therefore, we need to find more things that make us happy and diversify our sources of dopamine. 8. Do simulation practice. Many times, we fail at critical moments because we are not prepared. For example, we had to give an important speech the next day. We didn’t think about what we were going to say or how to say it in advance. As a result, we were so nervous on stage that we couldn’t speak. Such situations can be avoided through simulation practice. We can think about what we want to do in advance, and then simulate it mentally or verbally to see if there are any problems and how to improve it. In this way, we can improve our performance and confidence. 9. Focus on personal goals. Living in society, we will encounter all kinds of people and things. Some people will give us positive comments and support, and some people will give us negative comments and obstacles. We cannot be swayed by these external voices and must focus on our own goals. We need to know what we want, why we do what we do, and what is most important to us. Then, we must devote our energy and time to these things, and don’t care about irrelevant evaluations. 10. Learn more knowledge. Knowledge is our most powerful weapon. Only by constantly learning new knowledge can we keep ourselves open-minded and progressive. We should read more valuable books, articles, reports, etc. to understand the latest developments and best practices in various fields. We also need to communicate more with people with unique insights and listen to their opinions and experiences. In this way, we can broaden our horizons and improve our level. These are 10 practical tips on how to avoid beatings in society. I hope you can benefit from it and move forward smoothly and further in society!
