Appreciation of a philosophical story

A friend applied for a wholly-owned company.

The company arranges candidates to be examined in the meeting room three times a day.

In the first exam, my friend ranked first with a good score of 99 points. A girl named Xiaomi ranked second with 95 points.

As soon as the test paper for the second exam was issued, my friend wondered. The test paper that day was exactly the same as the first one. At first, she thought she had sent the wrong test paper. However, the invigilator has repeatedly stressed that there are no mistakes in issuing test papers. Since there is nothing wrong with the test paper, my friends are too lazy to think about it. With a confident stroke of the pen, the test paper was filled out in less than half of the prescribed time. As soon as a friend handed in his papers, other candidates also handed in their papers. Everyone's face is proud of the spring breeze. Obviously, everyone thinks he will win. As soon as the results of the two exams came out, my friend still ranked first with an unshakable 99 points. Xiaomi, the girl who handed in the paper at the latest, ranked second with 98 points.

Take the third exam on time on the third day.

"Should we be given the same question this time?"

Before entering the examination room, the candidates who applied for the exam talked a lot.

As soon as the test paper was issued, the examination room immediately boiled, because it was exactly the same as the first two?

"Quiet, quiet, everyone listen to me, this exam, like the previous two, is the arrangement of the company. We will do whatever the company arranges. If someone thinks that this assessment method is unreasonable, you can put down the test paper and we will let you out of the examination room at any time. "

The invigilator patted the table.

Everyone saw that the recruiter was angry, so they had to bow their heads and answer questions honestly.

This exam is more convenient. Most candidates, like friends, don't need to look at the exam questions at all. Just "brush" the answers from the first two times. In less than half an hour, the whole examination room was empty. Only the candidate named Xiaomi is still scratching his head and racking his brains. Sometimes it is revised, sometimes it is supplemented, and the answer sheet is not handed in until the bell rings.

After the third exam, my friend breathed a long sigh of relief. She still ranks first with 99 points. But this time it didn't take the lead. Candidate Xiaomi also tied for the first place with her with 99 points this time. But my friend is not worried about being squeezed by her at all.

On the fourth day, when the employment list was published, my friend was dumbfounded: there was only Xiaomi's name on it, and she lost the election. At that time, my friend found the general manager's office and confidently asked him, "I got 99 points three times." Why don't you hire me and hire a candidate with lower scores than me in the first two times? " Is your assessment fair? "

My friend looks very excited.

The general manager stared at my friend with mirth until she calmed down.

"Young lady, we really pay attention to exam results. But our company didn't promise to hire whoever scored the highest. For us, test scores are only the basis for hiring employees, not the final result. You get the highest score every time, but your answer is the same every time. If our company has been operating with the same thinking mode as you answer questions, can we get rid of the fate of being eliminated? We need staff who are not only talented, but also reflective. Only those who are good at reflection and discovering mistakes and omissions can make progress, and employees can make progress and the company can develop. The reason why our company tests you three times with the same paper is not only to test your knowledge, but also to test your reflective ability. I am really sorry that you were not hired this time. "

My friend was speechless and left the general manager's office in shame.

In the face of repetition and test, should we be positive, brave and serious, or should we be repetitive and monotonous without serious reflection? This is the source of inspiration for this article.

Please give me back my business card.

I worked as an insurance salesman for more than two years before I returned to the university campus for graduate study.

The biggest insurance policy I sold was not negotiated after I had rich experience, nor when I had more money, but when I first went out to sell it. I remember that it was a summer, and the sun was scorching. I was eating ice cream and kicking pebbles at the door of "Chen photoelectron", hesitating whether to go in or not.

Chen Guang Electronics is the largest joint-venture electronic enterprise in this city. I have some awe of such enterprises and dare not go in. After all, this is my first promotion.

After a long hesitation, I went in. It was a weekend, and the writing room on the second floor was a bit deserted. There are only foreign managers on the whole floor. A foreigner with yellow hair and blue eyes is playing computer with a large piece of transparent glass in the manager's office.

The door was open. I don't know whether to say "sorry" or "sorry". Just as I was about to knock on the door, he looked up and saw me: "Who are you looking for?" The pronunciation is not very standard, and all three words are pronounced flat. I'm relieved. At least, I don't have to say "I'm sorry".

"Well, I am a salesman of an insurance company. This is my business card. " I handed in my business card with both hands, and my heart was weak. There is no lack of dealing with foreigners in the school, but at present, this foreigner is a foreign boss, and he is not too old. He feels a little different.

"Selling insurance? Today is the third time. Thank you. Maybe I'll think about it, but I'm busy now. " The pronunciation of foreigners is still relatively straight, like a line, and there is no emotional color.

I didn't expect to sell the insurance policy today, so I said "I'm sorry" without hesitation and left. If I hadn't turned my head subconsciously at the corner of the stairs, maybe I would have left like this, and there would be no story in the future.

When I looked back, my business card was torn by the foreigner and thrown into the wastebasket. I suddenly felt very angry, like a dirty fly buzzing in my chest. If I don't spit it out, I'll be sick for life. I have long heard that sales promotion is despised, and it is common to be looked down upon. If I am the boss of China, maybe my feeling is just anger, but I am a foreigner, and an unspeakable national sentiment is still in it.

So I turned around, knocked on the door and said to the foreigner in English, "Excuse me, sir, if you are not going to consider buying insurance now, can I have my business card back?"

The foreigner's eyes flashed a trace of surprise and soon calmed down. He shrugged and asked me, "Why!"

I calmly replied, "There is no special reason. My name and occupation are printed on it. I want to come back."

"I'm sorry, miss, I accidentally spilled ink on your business card just now, so it's not suitable to return it to you."

"If you really spilled ink, would you please give it back to me?" I glanced at the wastebasket under his feet and said.

For an instant, he seemed to have a good idea: "OK, well, how much does it cost to print a business card?"

"Five hair. Why do you ask this? " I'm a little strange.

"Okay, okay." He took out his wallet, searched for it for a while, and took out a piece of Zhang Yiyuan's: "Miss, I'm really sorry, I don't have fifty cents change. This is my compensation for your business card, ok? "

I want to grab that money, tear it into pieces, and then fall on this big nose and face, scold him, tell him that I don't want his broken money, and tell him that although we are insurance salesmen, we still have personality. But I held back.

I politely took one yuan, then took out a business card from my bag and handed it to him: "Sorry, sir, I don't have fifty cents. This business card is my change. Please read my occupation and name clearly. This is not a career suitable for entering the wastebasket, nor is it a name that should be entered into the wastebasket. "

With these words, I turned and left without looking back.

Unexpectedly, the next day I received a phone call from the foreign manager and asked me to go to his company.

I don't know what happened to him, so I was almost overbearing and tried to argue with him. But after sitting down in his office, he told me that he would buy insurance for all employees from me.

Comments:

An arrogant attitude is sometimes a prerequisite for your success. Don't be humble in front of those who are stronger than yourself, and don't be arrogant in front of those who are weaker than yourself. You will win a chip for your success. For the sake of one's own personality and dignity, no matter whether the other party is strong or weak, we must strive for it according to the truth, because a person who dares to defend his self-esteem will give people respect. While maintaining dignity, your people will be surprised to find that sometimes opportunities for success will follow!

The bell rang and the head teacher came, but he didn't bring his book. He stood on the stage for a long time without making any noise. The students looked at him in surprise while laughing.

The teacher glanced at the students: "We are going to discuss three issues in this class." He said, "Which mountain is the highest peak in the world?" Everyone smiled and replied, "Mount Everest!" The teacher then asked, "What about the second peak? The students looked at each other, but no one answered. The teacher turned around and wrote a sentence on the blackboard: second is no different from obscurity.

The teacher paused and said, "well, let's look at the second question." A man burned a pot of boiling water. When he made a good fire, he found that there might not be enough firewood. What should he do? " The students talked a lot, but they all agreed to find firewood, borrow it or buy it. But the teacher was noncommittal. He said, "Why don't you empty the teapot?" Hearing this, the students are full of admiration.

Next, the teacher asked the third question: "In ancient China, there was a man who wanted to learn a standing skill. After repeated comparisons, he was determined to learn the skill of killing dragons. So he worshipped the famous teacher and worked hard day and night, and finally found a place. What do you think of him? " The students are full of enthusiasm, saying that he will become a hero and a star and be worshipped by the world. Some of them are also quoted. The more the teacher listened, the more he shook his head. He said, "This man will be poor all his life, because there are no dragons in the world."

After a class of persuasion by the teacher, we finally understand that what the teacher wants to tell us in this class is the truth of being a man, doing things and learning.

That is to strive for perfection in life, strive for the first place, let others find you and remember you;

Do things, dare to innovate, have flexible methods, and never stick to the rules;

Learning needs application, and knowledge can be transformed into benefits. There is no way out behind closed doors.
