在大學的情場，有一個著名的“三草”理論，想必大家都知道：
春來青青原上草，
兔子不吃窩邊草，
好馬不吃回頭草，
天涯何處無芳草。
曆史總是驚人的相似。今天山民再來胡說職場的三草：芳草，料草，回頭草。
（一）天涯何處無芳草？
說的是各位兄弟姐妹找工作，終於找到了芳草。到底這芳草如何？還得掂量掂量。
天涯處處是芳草，
何處芳草真正好？
東西南北風景異，
風景各異有奧妙。
如何掂量芳草？無非是發展前景，生活質量，生活成本。網上有幾個工具：
(1) 生活質量：

（三）好馬不吃回頭草
說的是兄弟姐妹找到了芳草，公告天下意在芳草之後，窩邊草又伸出了橄欖枝，十分受用。真是春光日日好，鮮花時時豔。讓人十分留戀回頭草。可是等到了秋天......
"塞下秋來風景異，
衡陽雁去無留意。"
好馬不吃回頭草，
因知草裏藏玄機。
