Excessive Packaging

During the summer vacation in college, a Japanese guest presented a gift respectfully when he was away. He opened the beautifully wrapped ribbons and wrapping paper. Inside was a simple and elegant box with irregular gold thread. Inside the box was a soft pink crepe paper. In the middle lay a long box of white flowers, and could not wait to open the box. The beautiful and delicate packaging that was rare in China, and the initial expectation and the last "after all, is only a ballpoint pen" disappointment, I still remember this gift which is obviously overpackaged. Interestingly, many years later, after so many years of brainwashing, I have more and more habits and expectations for the good packaging of big gifts, and even the good packaging of small gifts. As if there is no good packaging, it can not be a good gift. Similarly, during the youth, I firmly believe that I am the man in the rags, and now I am more and more judging by appearances, and I also call it "good dressing reflects good taste".

A few years ago, I had seen a special interview with a hot potato. When asked how to arrange the life after becoming a star, he replied that he spent most of his energy and time in football training because his identity was a professional player and the rest came from it. He knew that if he wasn't a good player, it would be nothing.

I have always thought that professional players, professional managers or key words are occupation. The meaning of occupation is to do what your profession requires you to do, whether it is a player or a manager, a person who has to pay your salary and buy your ticket, can afford your title. To me, career is the highest compliment and the lowest requirement. So when I heard that young man who was so famous, he was so sober and so professional. Unfortunately, around us, professionals like Beckham are becoming more and more rare. On the contrary, there are more and more people who pack too much, whether in the field or in the workplace.

The essence of packaging: on the top, in front of the boss, silence is golden, but the boss is the first to look forward to it, and the boss has to take the lead in the matter. He also has something to do with his work. To eliminate the dissidents, to turn his trusted followers and flatterers to his subordinates, these people have become his best propaganda team; while the outside world is pursuing the philosophy of truth that lies repeated three times, and spends most of the company's resources and most of its time on the media relations. First, two go to the media. In the eyes of the media, he has become the representative of successful people. A senior executive I know is very mean and petty, but he is a marketing person. Until three years later, he left his company in a bad way because of his poor performance. But in addition to the insiders in a few circles, his public image is still a working emperor.

In the so-called maxim, there is a saying "we should be a man first, then act, and occasionally act as a show". This is understandable in the modern society that focuses on communication and packaging. Doing things and doing things is like snowballs. The show can roll snowballs even bigger. But look at what has been done in the near future, and the flow of people around them. A lot of time is spent on show, maybe occasionally doing things, but more is doing superficial work. The trend in recent years is that such people are getting more and more, and they are getting better and better. Moreover, they always put success on their lips and write on paper. They are glad to be white-collar tutors. Therefore, a vicious circle is going on. More and more small white collar workers, under the guidance of these gold collar holders, hope to be rich like a pop star. But in the end, if there is no morality and impotence, then what can be attached to a snowball without a core? How long can this snowball last?
