　　【China Deep Foundation Engineering Network】  Boss is an enviable term. Because when people mention a boss, they naturally think of wealth, a symbol of fortune; when they talk about a boss, they feel he is an elite, a mark of an able person; when they speak of a boss, they realize career success, a reflection of life's value. And so on. The boss is indeed a profession and position that everyone yearns for and strives to achieve and become.
　　However, although the boss is glorious, there is another side unknown to others—the bitterness in the boss's heart that ordinary people find hard to understand. Everyoneknows that choosing to be a boss means choosing risk, responsibility and pressure, choosing hardship and toil,choosing the helplessness of being away from family more than together, and evenchoosing to bemisunderstood or evennot understood by some people.Even so,bosses remain without complaint or regret.
　　Everyone knows that on countless nights, when all employees have fallen asleep, the light in your office as the boss is still on; on how many holidays, when others are relaxing and entertaining, you are accompanying clients, running the market, or appearing at various training sessions; even during the annual Spring Festival, you still have to visit leaders and connections door to door to pay New Year calls. How many times, when employees make mistakes that cause serious losses to the company, besides taking responsibility yourself, you also have to comfort the person who made the mistake, because your own management failure should be paid for; how many times, because of service problems, customers complain and scold you and treat you coldly, yet you can only smile; how many times, when the company's working capital is difficult, in order to let employees get their wages on time, you put down your pride, beg people everywhere, and stay awake all night; how many times, to collect payments and for various social engagements, you drink with Party A and clients, forcing yourself to drink cup after cup, even vomiting in the restroom and then continuing to drink until you are unconscious; how many times, you promised to travel with your parents but broke your word again and again; how many times, because of work, you neglected your family and cold-shouldered your wife, leading to the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
　　Your parents are getting older and need your filial care; your children are growing and need your guidance; your spouse's birthday and wedding anniversary need you to accompany her shopping for gifts; when you feel unwell, you need to go to the hospital. These are things ordinary people can easily do, but for you as a boss, they are always so difficult, harder than reaching the sky.
　　But even so, how many people can understand the boss? Employees think you are enjoying yourself, friends think you are heartless, family complains that you are cold, children feel you don't care about them, Party A thinks you don't cooperate, clients think you don't understand them. No one understands the boss's inner helplessness, no one experiences the boss's spiritual loneliness, no one understands the boss's grievances and bitterness, and there is not even someone to confide in; even tears can only be shed quietly, especially when surviving in this economic downturn. Yes, many people think that running a business is just for making money, so even if you work yourself to death, it is only natural.
　　How many people know that if it were only for making money, those bosses who have already completed primitive capital accumulation could simply choose to sell the company, because the money they earn is more than they can spend in a lifetime. Only the boss himself understands the pursuit in his heart; only the boss himself knows the responsibility as captain; only the boss himself knows that this is the mission given by heaven!Then, tell yourself in your heart: since you have chosen to be the captain, you must be responsible for everyone on board!
　　Although occasionally there are moments of discouragement and thoughts of giving up. But every time at the start and end of the workday, when you watch employees flowing in and out of the company like a tide from your office, when you see the hardworking and honest employees at the construction site or factory, when you see pairs of sincere, kind, and hopeful colleagues, you quickly dismiss the thought and quickly cheer up: they need me!
　　Secretly tell yourself: in order to let more people have a stable job, in order to let more families live happily,

in order to let more people have a stage to realize their dreams. You are willing to bet your life, pay with your body,

exchange with loneliness, and fight to the end as long as life continues!
　　At this point, manypeopleshould have a new understanding of the boss, knowing that behind the boss's glamourit is noteasy,and understanding that the boss loses a lot while gaining. Therefore, the boss is also a person who needs the understanding of society and employees.A little more understandingofthe boss(of course, the boss should also understand employees) is moreunderstanding of yourself,becausein the futureif you become a boss,otherswill likewiseunderstand you!
