Little stories about etiquette

A corporate manager told such a thing: "Once, I had lunch with the manager of a sales company ****. Whenever a beautiful waitress came to our table, he always watched her walk out of the restaurant. I was so angry about this that I felt insulted. In the back of my mind, I thought to myself that the waitress's two legs were more important to him than what I had to say to him. He wasn't listening to me; he simply didn't give a damn about me."

The Old Lady and the Spouse

A census taker asked an uneducated old lady to fill out the population registration form, "Do you have a spouse?" The old lady froze and couldn't answer. Someone next to her explained, "He was asking if you have a partner." Only then did the old lady come to her senses.

Three, just because of a mouthful of spit?

It was a difficult negotiation.

Throughout the day, Mr. Joseph of the United States was both annoyed and impressed by his opponent, the factory manager of a Chinese medical machine. This Fan factory director of the forthcoming introduction of the "large infusion tube" production line is very familiar with the market. He not only demanded a high technical index for the equipment, but also kept the price very low. It seemed that Joseph had never met such a difficult and powerful negotiator in China. He concluded that his business would be successful if he cooperated with the pragmatic Factory Director Fan. So he accepted Factory Director Fan's low offer with conviction. "Both sides agreed to formally sign the agreement the next day. It was still early in the morning when Factory Director Fan invited Joseph to have a look at the workshop. The workshop was well organized, and Joseph nodded his head approvingly as he looked around. As he walked, he suddenly felt a worm crawling in his throat, coughed, and hurriedly ran to a corner of the workshop. Joseph stared at Factory Director Fan in surprise, only to see him spit in the corner, then wiped with the sole of his shoe, leaving a spit stain on the painted floor. Joseph quickly walked out of the workshop, despite the director of the factory Fan's best efforts to retain, determined to go back to the hotel.

The next morning, the interpreter knocked on the factory manager's door and handed him a letter from Joseph: "Dear Mr. Fan, I admire your talent and shrewdness, but the scene of your spit in the workshop made me sleepless. With all due respect, the hygienic habits of a factory manager can reflect the quality of a factory's management. Besides, what we are going to produce in the future are infusion tubes used to cure diseases. There is a proverb in your country: human lives are at stake! Please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye, otherwise, God will punish me. ......"

Factory Director Fan felt his head "boom", as if about to explode.

Four, the old chicken "retired from the second line"

A new director of the Bureau of Banquet retired from the second line of the old director. The old man used his chopsticks to point and say, "Hey, old man, frogs are beneficial insects, can not be eaten." The new director, without thinking, blurted out, "It doesn't matter, they are all old chickens, they have retired to the second line and are no longer relevant." The old Director immediately changed his face when he heard this, and even asked, "What did you say? What did you just say?" . The new director wanted to make a joke, but unexpectedly, his words slipped out and offended the old director's self-esteem, and he felt embarrassed. The friendly atmosphere on the table was destroyed, fortunately, the secretary reacted quickly, and then said: "Old Secretary, he said you have retired from the second line, eating chicken is not a matter of course." The atmosphere is only a little easing.

Fifth, there is no master, only the doctor

A college student, with his hand over his lower left abdomen ran to the infirmary, the doctor said: "Master, I have a stomachache." The doctor said: "Here only the doctor, no master. To find a master please go to the student cafeteria." The student's face reddened to his ears.

Six, soprano on the phone

An acrobatic troupe planned to perform in the United States next month, the troupe director Liu Ming on this matter to the city's Cultural Affairs Bureau for instructions, so he dialed the Director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Office of the telephone.

But the phone rang for more than half a minute, no one to answer. Liu Ming is wondering, suddenly the phone came from the end of an impatient soprano: "What is it ah?" Liu Ming froze, thinking that he dialed the wrong number: "May I ask if it's the Cultural Affairs Bureau?" "Nonsense, you don't know where you're calling from?" "Oh, hello, I'm from the City Song and Dance Troupe, may I ask if Director Wang is there?" "Who are you?" The other party interrogated without good humor. Liu Ming heart straight muttered, "My name is Liu Ming, is the head of the acrobatic troupe."

"Liu Ming? What is your relationship with our director?"

"Relationship?" Liu Ming is even more puzzled;

"I have no personal relationship with Director Wang, I just want to ask for instructions about our troupe's performance abroad." "Performing abroad? Director Wang is not in, you can call another day." Without waiting for Liu Ming to say anything else, the other party hung up the phone with a "snap".

Liu Ming felt like being teased, holding the phone half a day did not come back to God.

More than 20 years ago, the general manager of a well-known enterprise wanted to recruit an assistant. This is a very good opportunity for young people just out of school, so for a time, the applicants gathered. After a rigorous preliminary selection, retesting and interviews, the general manager finally picked an inexperienced youth.

The deputy general manager was a bit puzzled by his decision and asked him, "Where does that young man excel? He didn't bring a letter of introduction, he wasn't recommended by anyone, and he had no experience.

The general manager told him: it is true that he did not bring a letter of introduction, just graduated from the university, no experience. But he has a lot of things that are more valuable. When he came in, he rubbed off the dirt under his feet at the door, and closed the door with his hand after entering, which showed that he was careful and meticulous. When he saw the interviewer, who was physically handicapped, he immediately got up and gave up his seat, showing that he was kind-hearted and considerate of others. Into the office he first took off his hat, answering my questions is also dry and decisive, proving that he both know how to be polite and educated.

The general manager paused and then said: before the interview, I threw a book on the floor, and all the others stepped away from it, while this young man picked it up and put it back on the table; when I talked to him, I found that he was neatly dressed, with his hair combed neatly and his nails trimmed cleanly. In my opinion, these details are the best introduction letter, and these cultivation is the most most important brand image of a person.

Professor

A reporter interviewed a Nobel Prize-winning scientist, "Professor, where did you learn the most important things in life?" , "In kindergarten. There, I learned things that benefit me for life, for example, there are good things to share with friends, humility, wash your hands before eating ...... "We perfect our own civilized cultivation is the same, is not necessarily any remarkable initiative, but from the side of eating and washing hands of these small things to do. Develop civilized habits, so that the concept of civilization from the conscious level into the unconscious level, so that civilization throughout our every move.

We have been educated since childhood on civilization and etiquette, and many of our students can talk about civilization and etiquette at length. But see the campus everywhere discarded lunch boxes, drink bottles, listening to the mouth of some students spit out profanity, how can not teach people to grieve it! Are we all "giants of language and dwarfs of action"? Wang Shouren, a great scholar of the Ming Dynasty, said, "Knowledge is the idea of action, action is the effort of knowledge; knowledge is the beginning of action, action is the completion of knowledge; knowledge and action is an essence, an effort. To know and not to do is to be unknown." We accept the education of civilization and etiquette, but they are stingy to perform, or even do the opposite, which is the same as never accept the social education what is the difference! So we have to practice social civilization, we have to work from this "know and do", from their own words and deeds on the work, we have to say goodbye to the uncivilized behavior.

Once, the tour guide Wang Li received a U.S. tour group, in the tourist store to see an American tourist to see a "Chang'e to the moon" painting, and thinking about whether to buy, Wang Li went up to him to introduce the art of Chinese painting and background knowledge related to it, the guests were very interested, and finally, Wang Li told him that the Chinese painting is a very important part of his life. The guest was very interested. Finally, Wang Li told the American tourist that there was also a "Chang'e to the Moon" picture in the Astronautics Museum in Washington, D.C. The caption next to the picture reads: "In the history of mankind, who was the first to have the idea of going to the moon? Is the ancient Chinese Ms. Chang'e ......" The American tourists are very grateful to Wang Li's help, and finally bought this "Chang'e to the moon" painting.

Wang Li's introduction, the cultural value of the item and practical value of the clever combination, contributed to the purchase of the American tourists.

Twitter talks about table manners and upbringing, and I have a story.

Last fall when I lived in the hut, early in the morning came a monk who said he wanted to live with, although this person is not counted as a self-effacing, it seems to be a big temple lived in, quite know the rules.

The head of the backyard burning tripod, do not see guests. The difference between the broken urged back to say, not in a hurry, first with lunch. After lunch, said the pawnbroker, we are yin and yang Dan room, do not leave the Buddhist clean single, you look ahead. After the monk left, we asked why he did not leave a single. When the home said, the supervisor of the fast to observe this person with meals, tasted with the afterglow sweeping down a few times, when I know is not a diligent pedestrian, so do not leave a single.

A thatched cottage fasting, guests and masters of the table without words. The only reason for this is because of a look, which is excluded from the established circle. The lack of upbringing, the loss of others are collateral damage, the real damage is: the loss of the perfect opportunity to integrate into a more advanced circle, and therefore lose the cause of more knowledge.

The same applies to the examination of etiquette in the secular world, where a single detail of impoliteness unnoticed by oneself is enough reason to be disliked by others and rejected by the community.

The University of Hong Kong is a place where people can be calm after they have settled down. After the etiquette habits, any violation will be trained by the trainee significant awareness, then etiquette is also known as the selection of the combination of the circle of tools. That is why the aristocrats of this style can never be recognized by the upper circles. Isn't it the same reason that children from underdeveloped areas in the university can't play with the children of the metropolis? It can be seen that the degree of upbringing, is a thing closely related to us, but also an important tool in our pursuit of advancement.

For example, if a normal person wants to participate in a running conference for lame people, for the sake of respect, normal people can be pseudo-lame. If a lame person wants to participate in a running meeting with a normal person, can he pretend to be normal? The same is true for teaching and non-teaching. The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what you are doing and how you are doing it, and how you are doing it!

What are the basic table manners that children need to master?

1. Invite the elders to take their seats first, and give them a meal first. Respect for the elderly is a traditional Chinese virtue, in the children's small time, parents should be a good demonstration, eat first home elders please take a seat, and first to the elders of the rice. Before the elders have moved the chopsticks, the younger generation should not eat up first.

2. Don't leave your seat before you finish eating. In addition to washing hands before meals, it is best to get your child into the habit of dealing with going to the bathroom before eating, so that he or she can enjoy the meal with more peace of mind and relaxation.

3. Sit up straight and maintain an upright posture. This not only looks good, but also facilitates digestion.

4. Don't bang on the dishes or make a lot of noise while eating. Knocking on the chopsticks and making a lot of noise is a very uneducated behavior, which will cause resentment and disgust of the people eating at the same table.

5. Avoid flipping around in your plate when you're eating. Don't use a spoon or chopsticks to pick your favorite dishes and turn them over in the plate. Some people even transfer all their favorite dishes from the plate and leave the unpalatable ones for others, which is a very rude behavior and seems to be more selfish.

6. Eat as much as possible do not make noise. When eating, chew and swallow slowly, meal in the mouth without talking; eat and drink soup without making a sound.

7. Do not eat while doing other things. Meal time is the time for the family to get together, but also the best time to strengthen parent-child communication, the child will also have a lot of things want to share with mom and dad, please cherish this time. Remind your children that they are not allowed to play with toys during meals.

8. If you want to leave the table first after eating, greet your elders with, "I'm done eating." However, when our foreign affairs officials conducted a routine inspection beforehand, these brand-new cowhide sofas were ordered to be replaced immediately. Originally, most Indians believe in Hinduism, which honors the cow, loves the cow, and worships the cow as a god; therefore, Indians should not be invited to sit on cowhide sofas in any case.

This example proves that it is very necessary for travel service personnel to master some religious etiquette.

At a meeting to formulate the U.S. Constitution, a congressman said, "In the Constitution to make a provision that the conventional forces shall not exceed 5,000 men at any one time." Washington calmly said, "The gentleman's suggestion is very good indeed. But I think there is one more clause to be added: foreign troops invading the United States shall not exceed 3,000 at any one time."
