In April 2018, Xia Shen joined the Nanjing Oulu Electric family as a business support specialist. By November 2019, she had been in this role for nearly two years. As part of the industrial automation marketing team, during this period she diligently studied relevant professional knowledge—learning about frequency converters, servo motors, and servo drives, including their model specifications and the meaning behind each code letter—to facilitate smoother communication and ordering processes with customers.

Initially, facing completely unfamiliar products like frequency converters, servo motors, and servo drives, learning everything in a short time was no easy task. Much of the process involved repeatedly strengthening her memory through what often felt like tedious and monotonous study and work.

So, how can one find joy and release pressure in such repetitive and seemingly dull work? This has become particularly important for Xia Shen at this stage. Below are some insights shared by Xia Shen from the Commercial Department of Nanjing Oulu Electric, which she hopes might be helpful to others.

Set Meaningful Goals
Set a clear timeline for mastering knowledge related to frequency converters, servo motors, and servo drives. The more effort you put into achieving these goals within the set period, the more motivated you will become.

Stay Positive
A positive attitude can make work more enjoyable. If everyone constantly complains, it creates a vicious cycle. Instead of focusing on the negatives, try to find more efficient ways to learn and complete tasks.

Maintain Enthusiasm at Work
Stay proactive by sharing things that excite you with your colleagues and celebrating your achievements together. This not only boosts your own motivation but also contributes to a more encouraging work environment.

Finally, as an old Texas proverb says:
“A wet match won’t light a fire.”
When you find your work tedious or uninspiring, the problem may not lie in the work itself—but in your own level of inner passion. Ignite the enthusiasm within you, and things will naturally improve. It truly is that simple: rather than complaining all day, adjust your mindset and engage fully in your work. Otherwise, you’ll only create more obstacles for yourself.
