When it comes to business cards, many people in the workplace are familiar with them. It can be said that they were a status symbol for us at that time.
Some people say that my first business card is "XX company sales manager"; some people say that my first business card is "XX R&D staff"; some people say that my first business card is "XX company sales manager"; The business card is "XX Designer"...
So, are the above things we commonly call them the first business card in our lives?
Let’s take a look at our current education situation. Many parents attach great importance to their children’s academic performance. They wish their children could master all subject knowledge in advance, lest they lose at the starting line.
On weekends, the time left for children to play is also very limited. Some even have to attend four or five interest classes and run around non-stop.
All of these are nothing but worries that the children will not be able to have a beautiful business card when they grow up, and will not be able to live a so-called superior life.
Under the current education system, it is understandable for parents to pay attention to these things. Who doesn’t want to live a better life in the future?
In fact, we often overlook one point, that is, a child is a person first, and before he can do things successfully, he must first learn to be a human being.
There is a child named Xiaoshuai. He comes from a privileged family. He has been able to have anything he wanted since he was a child, and his parents have fully provided for him.
During the summer vacation when he was in high school, in order to broaden his horizons and prepare for studying abroad in advance, his parents arranged a short-term exchange study abroad for him. During this period, he was arranged to live in the home of an old foreign couple.
Being accustomed to the domestic lifestyle, he still goes back to rest very late every day. The old couple who had already gone to bed would often be awakened by his noisy washing sound, which made them miserable.
Also, whenever he was in the bathroom, he did not develop good habits. He often used the toilet seat without lifting it, and sometimes did not clean up the stains on the floor in time.
As time passed, the old couple couldn't bear it anymore and issued an eviction order to him. At the same time, he informed the people around him who knew him well, saying that this Chinese kid was uncultured and his overall quality was too poor.
Later he was forced to return to China. He said: There have been two nannies taking care of the family since he was a child. He has never had to do these seemingly trivial things, and no one taught him how to deal with them. Alas.
Later, whenever he had dinner with his classmates and saw them yelling, he felt particularly deeply and told them what he had experienced.
I remember Chen Guo, a popular beauty and philosophy professor at Fudan University in Shanghai, said: In our lives, as long as we don’t affect the environment, don’t affect others, and don’t hurt ourselves, we can do whatever we want. What, you can be free to pursue the life you want.
So, the first business card in our lives is not our grades, but our overall quality and accomplishments.
Fortunately, more and more parents have begun to pay attention to this and pay more attention to the cultivation of comprehensive quality and accomplishment in educating their children.
Once in the kindergarten, I saw a little boy about four years old, washing his hands and preparing to enter the classroom. I saw him lifting the curtain of the hall with his little hands and preparing to go in.
At this time, he found that there was another little boy following closely behind him. He naturally helped him to continue to lift the door curtain and motioned for him to go in together, instead of just walking on his own without looking back.
This picture left a deep impression on me. It seems like a small thing, but you can feel the little boy's cultivation in social etiquette and getting along with others. These are equally valuable in our adult world and make people feel very comfortable.
For another example, every summer, there are so many people going to the beach to play, and there will naturally be a lot of garbage on the beach. You will see that after some people finish eating, they leave but leave their garbage on the beach. And some people will consciously take away the garbage around them when they leave.
There are many similar behaviors in our lives. Seeing this, the first business card in life, you will also care about the job titles printed on the card, which can be used to show off and make people enviable. ?
It has nothing to do with grades, economic status, or identity. Comprehensive quality and personal accomplishment are the first business cards of our lives.
