在大学的情场，有一个著名的“三草”理论，想必大家都知道：
春来青青原上草，
兔子不吃窝边草，
好马不吃回头草，
天涯何处无芳草。
历史总是惊人的相似。今天山民再来胡说职场的三草：芳草，料草，回头草。
（一）天涯何处无芳草？
说的是各位兄弟姐妹找工作，终于找到了芳草。到底这芳草如何？还得掂量掂量。
天涯处处是芳草，
何处芳草真正好？
东西南北风景异，
风景各异有奥妙。
如何掂量芳草？无非是发展前景，生活质量，生活成本。网上有几个工具：
(1) 生活质量：

（三）好马不吃回头草
说的是兄弟姐妹找到了芳草，公告天下意在芳草之后，窝边草又伸出了橄榄枝，十分受用。真是春光日日好，鲜花时时艳。让人十分留恋回头草。可是等到了秋天......
"塞下秋来风景异，
衡阳雁去无留意。"
好马不吃回头草，
因知草里藏玄机。
