Chapter 25 Part Three: From Japanese Sushi, to Japanese Companies

Dear Teacher Xu: I am not born in English, my cultural qualifications are very low, so low that I only have a college at my own expense, and I study Japanese. I was not smart enough to pass the first-level Japanese test in 2 and a half years.After graduation, I didn’t find a suitable job in a foreign company because I didn’t have a Beijing hukou. I was worried that my foreign language would degenerate in the increasingly hesitant job hunting, so I had no choice but to work in a Japanese restaurant first. I hope I can use this springboard to practice oral English and find other ways out . Here I got a very precious wealth in life - those Japanese customers sincerely pointed out my mistakes in Japanese, told me about the customs of their country and so on.Half a year later, I met my current boss. He told me that his company is recruiting people, as long as they can speak Japanese.How many days have I been tossing and turning, the Japanese company - China World Trade Center.What a tempting office environment!

When I went to the interview, they hadn't decided to hire me, so I made the decision and told them that I was going to buy a computer and start practicing typing (I didn't know how to use a computer at that time).According to the words of the current boss, he was moved by my spirit, and he can see my seriousness and piety.In fact, at that time, I knew nothing but Japanese, and I didn’t even know how to operate office equipment, such as printers, fax machines... The next thing was that I frantically studied the company’s internal business and mastered all the arrangements of the minister.Today, a year and a half later, I have been affirmed by the Minister to become his personal assistant, and I have brought along an assistant of my own.The company's performance is booming...

But my heart kept tumbling, and I knew I was stagnant.I am very restless and impetuous. I want to learn English, I want to learn human resources, and I want to go to Japan. There are so many plans that make me unable to start... Although I am calm and calm on the surface, it is because I am still studying. The elder brother a spiritual balance.But in fact, the steelyard in my heart has already lost its balance, and I feel that if I continue like this, I may be destroyed. Maybe I didn't describe it very completely, which made you a little baffled, coupled with emotional imbalance, lost confidence in everything, and had no motivation.I don't know what else to do.I am 28 years old, and I finally decided to accept the person I like, but although the boy said that he only loves me in this life, he quietly went to study his project.I lost confidence in myself.I hope to forget some sad and boring emotional life by pinning on my work. If you can see that I am moaning without illness or destroying myself, give me some advice or advice to let me get out, I will be very happy Thank you so much, what else can I do?Unless you are interested in Japanese food, I can ask you to go to a nice place to say my thanks!

If this letter goes nowhere, then I will choose to go abroad at the end of the year (as if threatening you a bit)! sushi Dear Sushi: Thank you for your letter, and thank you for your sense of humor, for threatening to leave the country without seeing you!In order to keep an outstanding talent like you in China and make a fortune, I must see you!Let me start with your question. In fact, you are already one of the most proud achievers in the world.You only have a college degree, but you have achieved your current position in a Japanese company in China.look!She has become a veritable white-collar beauty in the capital.What are you still not satisfied with?

You have one more lesson for all my readers and students: start at a humble job and turn a white bib into a white collar.There are not many employed young people in China today who can see the successful roadmap between Japanese sushi and Japanese companies.But as long as they connect the two in their hearts, half of their life problems can be solved: when we are distressed that we have no way out in life, we often forget a story that we often quote when introducing Western culture: those presidents , Children of nobles often go to restaurants to work and earn money, whether it is to exercise their abilities or to really earn their own bread.Even Princess Diana worked as a nanny in her early youth!

Humble work breeds a brilliant future.No one will argue with me about this truth, but when it is actually practiced, many people will complain and withdraw their troops. Therefore, your success is remarkable and worth emulating.The spirit here is: start from the so-called "humble" work, and at the same time, pursue your dream of tomorrow.If a person only has a brilliant future in his heart and abandons the humble starting point under his feet, he will often fall into a desperate situation. Now for your question.I think that since your company boss appreciates you and the company's business is booming, I strongly urge you to continue in this position!This is your best bet.

It is an eternal need to improve yourself and develop yourself.However, in order to improve and develop, don't break with today, don't—unless it is absolutely necessary—do the kind of thing that burns the boat.You don't have to. The most successful people I have ever met are those who have worked for a period of time and accumulated considerable experience and connections. When they are confident about the employment prospects of the company's industry, they temporarily leave their current jobs to seek higher ones. educational opportunities.Such as postgraduate entrance examination, studying abroad, or even studying for a part-time degree.

The key word here is: continuing education -- but you must be confident about employment after continuing education.Never go into the vast Lop Nur without enough water; and don’t go to the Baidi City in the clouds without a light boat-the result is that it will be difficult to cross the mountains forever, staying on the shore, listening to the cries of monkeys on both sides of the bank is annoying to death. This is what you need to be wary of right now.No matter what changes happen in your love life, no matter what major you dream of studying, but don't give up this job, or don't give up your hard-won competitive advantage in employment in Japanese companies.

With your educational background, it is not easy to achieve today's professional achievements.What you have to do is to build on the foundation of success and make further progress, instead of jumping off the bamboo and climbing from scratch.Please!It is the beautiful nature of human beings to look forward to Shu from Long, and dissatisfaction with the status quo is the spiritual power driving the development of civilization.But, never forget that work is a job, if you smash it, what do you eat your raw fish with?Carrying too much wasabi that is ideal for tomorrow, don't spoil the taste of sushi that will ensure you are fed today.

You want to learn English, very good.English is both a tool and a weapon.But why did you forget that Japanese is also both a tool and a weapon, and it is still a tool and weapon for you to fork fish and sushi!Whether we are friendly with Japan or entangled with Japan, life and death cannot be separated from the Japanese language.Why learn English when you've acquired language skills and are able to make a living doing it and do well?How unreasonable! Yes.People can't give up the struggle, including you.But your current goal should be to become a real person with sufficient and strong employment competitiveness in your current position.When you have enough money, enough industry employment competitiveness, and enough connections, you can choose again... choose someone who has a clear choice goal.

As for the emotional question you expressed at the end of your letter, that falls into a different category.I don't want to say more.However, your boyfriend said "I want you in this life", but he doesn't want it today, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow.It both baffles you and incomprehensible to me. "If it doesn't rain today, if it doesn't rain tomorrow, there will be dead clams"; if you don't love today, you won't love tomorrow, there will be resentful women!I see something seriously wrong with this man.Nothing good will come of you with him.When you are in love, when you are in love, you have to talk about it every day; instead of I love you, I love you, the way to love you is to isolate. If he is not gay, has a new love, and does not like you, then he must not like himself, life, sweet love and fiery kisses.Such a person is definitely not worth dating.I don't spend time with you during the relationship, and I won't be close to you after marriage.Such a man is not worth marrying. Love cannot be forgotten; love must be together.Don't be fooled by this man's rhetoric and unreasonableness, one spring after another... Love matters, not my specialty (this is a humble way of saying it).I don't want to say too much, lest readers think I am too knowledgeable.But please remember my words: Don't entangle your emotional problems with your work problems. If you lose your work emotions together, the darkest period of your life will come. Finally, thank you for inviting me to eat Japanese food.I love it and can't wait to eat it now!However, I would rather keep my imagination and longing for you than to be extinguished by your depression as soon as I meet you.Because, I hope, I can see you in every Japanese restaurant I go to in the future.Every girl who serves dishes, washes pots and bowls, and whose hair is wet with sweat has a China World Trade Center in her heart, and she can become a white-collar worker like you who makes me proud and overwhelmed. congratulations!
