The inspiration for this article comes from answering questions separately.
A friend asked: Now many young people have gone home on holiday. How do you think a young man should earn some pocket money by using the Internet at home?
Want to make money is a good thing, not afraid of people's desires, and a life with desires has motivation.
But I always feel that the question of my friends is actually: Is there a way to earn pocket money through the Internet without any time?
It is obviously difficult to make money by thinking like this. Today, I will talk about the difference between the thinking mode of ordinary people who want to make money and those who can really make money.

Ordinary people often only think about "I want to make money" and don't think about what money depends on.
Ordinary people who can make money, his thinking mode of making money is often like this:
Opportunities to make money = money on hand+future value-added space.
But most people only think about how much money I can earn now, ignoring that some abilities will be continuously enhanced, which will bring greater opportunities for making money in the long run.
For example, in most places in winter vacation, there are actually no good job opportunities, usually hotels and restaurants. Because a large number of waiters have returned to China, they are willing to hire people at high prices in order to maintain their operations. But the skills learned in these jobs are relatively simple, and it is difficult to become your value-added ability in the future.
So if it were me, if I didn't need money very much, I would change my mind. Can I spend the same time choosing a job that doesn't earn much, but can increase my future workplace ability?
If I don't think there are any good job opportunities in small cities and counties, then I will simply turn the question into-can I use the Spring Festival and winter vacation to learn something that can help me get a raise in the workplace in the future, or increase my ability to get job opportunities in the future?
If you don't have the ability, you can earn hard money. No matter how much you earn, you can't change the dilemma of earning low value-added income all the time, because the price of making money is losing the time to improve your income.

Ordinary people often only think about "I want to make money" without considering what preparations are needed to make money.
Using the Internet in winter vacation is not without high-tech opportunities to make money. For example, you can do translation, you can write articles on WeChat official account, you can help others do various graphic designs, and you can even undertake some programming and development tasks.
Earning this money is actually very tiring, but after all, eating and doing these jobs depends on professional skills. On the one hand, earning more and earning less is the key. The key is to exercise your skills, practice makes perfect, and cooperation with different customers can broaden your horizons and accumulate workplace experience. These are all points.
But the problem is that to do these things, three conditions must be completed at the same time.
1, skill reserve.
For example, many translation companies look for part-time jobs in winter vacation, but only if you can be a qualified translator! Without Jin Gangzuan, how can we get porcelain works?
2. Network reserve
A good part-time job, especially one that requires professional skills, generally does not use unfamiliar people casually, because using unfamiliar people will increase the communication cost of business. In case this person is unreliable, it will delay work and bring more trouble.
So these jobs are more willing to rely on internal promotion. If someone is willing to recommend you, you should usually reserve contacts and hook up resources in this area, instead of going home and asking people where there is a good part-time job.
In fact, I have a good part-time job, and I can exercise my ability with money, but will I do it for you? No, I will only do it for my trusted little assistant.
3. Occupational reserve
Do a part-time job to make money, never hold the idea that part-time job must be an easy and simple job. Many jobs, even part-time, require you to go all out to achieve the quality that others need.
But many students or newcomers to the workplace, the standard of doing things is not what the workplace should be like, but what they think, which is fatal.
So although you think you are ready, in the eyes of others, your willingness to work does not match your ability to work.

Why are you so tired? I will grab more red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.
The matter of grabbing a red envelope is actually a science.
Some people join a lot of groups and grab red envelopes when they see them. If you always grab someone else's special bag, you will leave the impression that you are not careful. Is it worth the money to get this impression?
Even if it is not a special package, if you just grab it and don't send it, it will leave a stingy impression. You always catch the big ones and do the small ones. Everyone is not stupid for such cleverness and calculation. Let's not talk about it, but when there is good business cooperation in the future, do you think I will give priority to the person who gave a generous red envelope, or just give a small red envelope occasionally?
Even if you are a junior, you only need to grab what you don't need to send. To make money with red envelopes, it takes a lot of time to mix in many local tyrants in advance. Usually, you should brush your sense of existence to amuse local tyrants and be willing to stay in the group. During the Spring Festival, you can safely grab red envelopes, which is also a good way to earn pocket money. However, you should spend a lot of time in advance to join the group, understand the operating characteristics of these groups, and find local tyrants. Only by reasonably brushing the sense of existence can we stay in the peak season of the Spring Festival.
The question is, with such a local tyrant in a group, do you want to grab a few dollars from him for a red envelope? -You this pattern, how can your life have ambition?
I think if a person is still spending a lot of time grabbing red envelopes, I don't think he realizes that his biggest job should not be grabbing red envelopes, but thinking about how to make his time valuable, so valuable that he can't bear to spend time grabbing red envelopes!
Think less about making money and more about how to make good use of the uninterrupted time of winter vacation to invest in yourself.
The poor just want to make money, but they don't understand that the thinking of the rich is to invest in themselves first, not to make quick money.
