Recently, a survey sparked the attention of netizens, the survey content is “how much monthly salary will allow you to live in the corresponding city without fear”. The data shows that first-tier cities such as Shanghai and Beijing need about 9,000 yuan, while second-tier cities such as Chengdu and Dalian are fluctuating around 5,000 yuan.
However, the fact is that many of our friends in first-tier cities don’t earn as much as they should, and not all of our friends living in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai can earn more than $9,000 a month. The cost of living is a daily pressure, and the invisible “urban desire” disease is spreading in the society, how to balance the state of life and the pressure of life, how to find happiness in the “still-competitive” income, has become the issue of concern for today’s urban white-collar workers.
When income does not meet the “desires” of daily life, white-collar friends inevitably emerge as a class of “frequent job-hoppers”. Is this positive or negative energy for a professional’s professional career? In the face of these problems, it’s time to instill yourself with some “chicken soup for the soul”.
3 Tips to Break the “Salary Slump”

Once you know what you’re interested in, assess what resources are available to you and know how to use them to make a difference. and know how to use this to make a difference. Then it’s time to do a good job of career planning, to give yourself new hope and direction so you can let go of the “past” and get out of the cage.

3. Try to change your own bad perceptions
In this world we have to acknowledge that each of us as individuals has a limited capacity. We can’t control and change other people; we can only change and control ourselves. And those things we can’t change or control we should face up to them and accept them with awe and respect.
It is true that happiness is not a matter of being happy when you make money and happy when you spend it, but depends to some extent on many factors that are not related to wealth, such as health, job stability, marital status and interpersonal relationships, which also have a lot to do with one’s perception of life and the development of society.
Here are 4 ways to help urbanites find their “lost happiness”
1.Avoid comparison
There are millions of ways to live a happy life, but only one way to live an unhappy life. And that is comparison!
Life is clearly happy and joyful, yet you are unhappy because you constantly compare your shortcomings with the strengths of others. This leads to damage to one’s self-esteem, as if one has been struggling hard and difficult all one’s life, and finally finds that life is written in terms of Lose! Lose! Lose!
If you are poor, don’t compare yourself to a billionaire who is rich; if you are average looking, don’t compare yourself to an idol star who is handsome.
Maybe your child is more talented than a millionaire’s child, and maybe you are far less troubled by the scandals of an idol star, and isn’t that happiness? The first thing you need to do is to compare yourself to the next person, and you are asking for trouble.
Happiness is a combination of bits and pieces of happiness, and a little bit of little bits and pieces of happiness accumulate to make a big happiness. It lurks in every corner of life, in every moment.
Because if you remember too much about other people’s bad, you lose your happy mood; if you care too much about yesterday’s disappointments, you lose today’s happiness and efforts; if you pay too much attention to social injustice, you lose your hope for a better life in the future!
2. Learn to manage happiness
Today’s young people are struggling to find their so-called happy life, complaining that their side can’t give happiness, always thinking about an unrealistic dream, and even some of them are looking for happiness for life, when in fact, happiness is all around.
Life is not simply a matter of taking and giving, don’t be calculating about what you lose, what you get is more precious than what you lose.
The truth is that the world’s most important thing is to be happy.
Love not only the people around you, but also love yourself. Love is to support your loved ones, to care for your loved ones, to cherish yourself, to be with each other, to walk side by side, to be able to perceive each other even though you are thousands of miles apart.
As long as you love with your heart and experience love with your mind, you will be able to run a wonderfully happy life.
3. Be a confused and happy person
People who live a confused life are easy to be happy; people who live a sober life are easy to be troubled.
This is because a sober person sees too much, and when he gets serious, his life is full of worries; a muddled person, on the other hand, is less calculating, and although he lives a simple and rough life, he finds a great state of life.
The trouble in life is self-inflicted.
The first thing you need to do is to get rid of it.
Everyone is in a hurry, carrying a heavy bag on their backs, and the more they pack, the more they get involved.
As Bian Zhilin wrote in “The Broken Chapter,” we often see a landscape where one is always looking up and envying the happiness of others, only to turn around and find that one is being looked up and envied by others.
4. Helping others for “joy”
The head of The Nature Conservancy, Sue Citro, says that there have always been people who are happy. We have been told by our members and supporters that there is a real sense of happiness and satisfaction in helping others and doing good things.
Jordan Graffman of the Health Association said that when people are helping others and doing good things, there is a real sense of satisfaction. Professor Graffman says that the happiness you feel when you receive a gift and the satisfaction you feel when you help others are produced by the same part of the brain, and that the brain is more active when you help or give to others.
All of this tells us that just a small change in daily habits can change an individual’s sense of well-being.
Just using the knowledge and skills you have to help others can produce happiness; just giving a little more time to spend with others can also produce happiness.
