John has a long beard, and suddenly he intends to shave it off, but he is a little hesitant: what will friends and colleagues think? Will they make fun of him? After several days' consideration, he finally decided to keep only a moustache. When he went to work the next day, he was ready for the worst. Unexpectedly, no one commented on his changes, and everyone went to the office in a hurry, doing their own things tightly. In fact, no one said a word until the noon break. Finally, he couldn't help asking others first: "What do you think of me?"
The other party was shocked: "What is it like?"
"Can't you see that I'm a little different today?"
Colleagues began to look at him from head to toe, and finally someone shouted, "Oh! You have a moustache. "
Ying Ruocheng, a famous performance artist, also told a similar story. He was born and raised in a big family. Every time he eats, dozens of people sit in a big restaurant. Once he had a whim and decided to play a joke on everyone. Before eating, he hid in an unattended cupboard in the restaurant and wanted to jump out when everyone could not find him anywhere.
To Ying Ruocheng's embarrassment, no one noticed his absence. He didn't come out to eat leftovers until everyone left after dinner.
From then on, he warned himself: never take yourself too seriously, or you will be disappointed.
Don't think you are the center of the world. Look in the mirror for half an hour every day and decide which lipstick and tie to use. Your painstaking efforts may not be noticed at all. Everyone is doing their own thing, so you should be careful not to always think about what others say about you.
