Have you ever met the situation where you kept thinking that there are opportunities,or chances,which are better than your current one?This is the syndrome(综合征) when you are looking at the other side of the grass and think that the grass is greener on the other side and is also what I call the"greener grass"syndrome.
Why are you like this?Uncertainty and curiosity play a big part in creating the"greener grass"syndrome.If you have this syndrome,you are likely to miss a lot of things you have now.When you are always focusing on other opportunities,sometimes you may waste the opportunity right in front of you.
So what can you do to treat the"greener grass"syndrome?Just remember:the grass always starts out a nice and shiny green,but will begin to wear a bit with use.Then,it still needs to be maintained in order to stay a nice shade of green.So as for your jobs,the first thing to do is recognize that your current job is your best choice right now.Try to focus on"what is"instead of"what if".Secondly,always stick to your job,no matter which side you are at.Last but not least,always do your best in your current job.In conclusion,it is important for you to choose a side,and make the best.
