If you're not afraid of hard work and are really unable to do things, you may not be appreciated — but that's okay!
It doesn't matter if you do a lot of work, as long as you do it in a neat and tidy way!
Believe it or not, many things are actually very simple! All you have to do is stop making them complicated because you are too cautious.
Things will only become less because they will be done and finished. If you want to make work less through other means and you are not the person who directly makes work less, then you have the opportunity to improve your efficiency! You can do things according to normal rules.
If you do things right, it's a breeze! Let's say I have a colleague at work who is unable to prepare reports, who may be disabled or slow, or who just wants to fool around and sleep in a bit.
It's totally fine if he's late! Once I've got the hang of his report, I'll help him send it out.
Then he doesn't need to do it anymore! I am the direct performer of the work.
If he doesn't work in his position, if he can't work, or if he just wants to loaf around, then the big deal is that he can go to the next company and get other colleagues to do it for him, or he can do it himself!
Absolutely everyone is an adult in the workplace! Even if someone deliberately wants to loaf, they'll find someone to help them. So, who needs help with their work?
The great news is that, except for tasks that require time and effort and that may require help from others, no one else needs help!
If you work hard with the help of others, you can gain valuable experience and move up in your career! But if you don't have the time or know-how, you might find yourself stuck in a position where you're not getting promoted. And what happens to people who don't get promoted? They become leaders! They move up and become the ones others look to for guidance and inspiration. They're the ones who get things done and make a real impact.
He's not going to improve or do a good job, but that's okay! He's still got lots to learn. And because he doesn't do anything, he doesn't know the hard work that goes into doing things. Once someone helps him, he'll see that it takes a lot of effort to help someone else, and he'll want to thank the person who helped him do the work.
It's not helpful to accuse him of being ungrateful because he really doesn't know. You did things for him, and he has the opportunity to learn, accumulate skills, and gain promotion. You have invested time and effort, and he has the chance to understand your contributions, the time you have put in, and how hard you have worked.
He'll get a reputation for being lazy and ungrateful, and he'll miss out on the chance to build up his work experience and land a great job! If you assign them work and they still don't do it, they're just harming themselves in the end.
You don't have to get angry with them because they don't do the work. First, the ability to do things is based on talent. If you are born disabled and cannot do things, then you don't have to force yourself.
Second, if you don't want to work hard, you naturally won't. But there are plenty of easy jobs out there for those who want them! You can even ask a colleague to do it for you, which is also an easy way out. Without work experience, he loses his competitiveness. But with current competitiveness and ability, he can guarantee a decent living in the future!
His goal is to relax and unwind, and it's great that you're able to help him do his work more easily! The worst that can happen is that you get the work done, but the best case scenario is that he makes progress. It doesn't matter if your boss dislikes you in the future; you just want to relax and don't want to see any unfinished work in front of you, so that's fine!
There's no such thing as easy work in this world. I repeat: there's no such thing as easy work!
If so, the person is highly replaceable! What does it mean to be highly replaceable?
It means that even if he listens to his boss and gets the job done, and he puts in the effort, he won't get a corresponding reward. He isn't trading his time for a guarantee of future survival, a guarantee that is work experience that can be used in other companies. Instead, he's wasting time, waiting for his boss to use him up. But what if he could do more with his time? What if he could gain valuable experience that would help him in other companies? What if he could become indispensable to his boss? The possibilities are endless!
It doesn't matter whether he is there or not. The great thing is that you can help anyone, no matter who it is, as long as you are willing to work hard and put in the effort.
Your colleague, who needs help, has the potential to gain respect in the workplace through ability. He has the opportunity to consider the future. Does he want to be useless? Does he want other companies to want him? There's so much he can do! Your colleague is just delaying the business of the next boss, and causing the boss to suffer inexplicable financial losses. He is a colleague or subordinate who was originally very efficient.
Your colleagues' presence makes the boss's subordinates less efficient, in a bad mood, and tired at work. But there's a way to turn this around! It's called being loved.
There's nothing more rewarding than helping people when you can focus your efforts on a specific type of person. When you have a clear direction, you can guide them to achieve their goals. Seeing them succeed and make the right decisions is incredibly satisfying. Everyone wins when you have a positive impact on someone's life!
This shows that you are very smart, and the person you are helping is not stupid. Stupid means that no matter how much you teach them, they won't learn. Smart means that they will learn after just one or two times—and that's pretty smart!
If he is stupid, he won't listen to anything you say, and he will stubbornly stick to his own views. But that just means there's an opportunity for you to show him a better way! He will keep making the same mistakes over and over again, but that just means you can help him learn from them.
If you can help others and give them the right guidance, it shows that you are forward-looking and have a broad perspective—and that's a great thing!
And for others who expect perfection from themselves, you do things according to their wishes. In the process, you follow their way of thinking, and you do not achieve self-improvement and development. In order to serve their demands, you dare not even express your own opinions. Helping them in this situation is very painful.
But you know what? It's also an opportunity for growth and development. So, embrace it!
Embrace the challenge and don't be afraid of working hard! Your ability is demonstrated through doing things. If you did a lot of things yesterday, it doesn't mean that you can rely on yesterday's achievements to get things done today.
If you helped someone yesterday, that doesn't mean they'll help you today! It's a new day, and you have the opportunity to make a fresh start. Today is a brand new day to work hard and continue building your amazing career!
Seize the day and cherish the present! Don't take things in the future lightly. You can control the present, and the abilities you have now will determine your future.
If you play games when you're a child, every day, and grow up without reading, all you'll know how to do is play games. But if you master a certain skill from an early age, you can easily pick it up when you grow up and then use it proficiently again!
If you don't have it now, you can absolutely have it in the future! And if you don't learn it now, you can definitely use it tomorrow.

I understand how you feel. It seems like setting boundaries could be a helpful step forward. By clearly defining what you can and cannot do, you might prevent others from taking advantage of your kindness.
It's really tough when you give so much but don't receive the same in return. Maybe it's time to prioritize your own needs and communicate them openly with your colleagues. This way, you can ensure that you're not overburdening yourself.
You're incredibly kind and willing to help, which is admirable. However, it's also important to recognize your limits and ask for help when you need it. Establishing a balance between helping others and taking care of yourself is key.
Feeling used can be disheartening. Perhaps focusing on building relationships with people who value mutual support could make a difference. Surrounding yourself with the right people can lead to a more positive work environment.
Your good nature should not lead to exhaustion. Try to delegate tasks when possible and remember that it's okay to say no sometimes. Taking steps to protect your energy can help you maintain your positivity without burning out.
