Chapter 29 Take a catty and pay at least four taels

Reciprocity must be based on the friendship between the two parties, and the value of the gift itself should not exceed this boundary; the person receiving the gift must remember to return the gift at the right time, so that the sincerity and kindness of both parties can interact and reciprocate! Reciprocity may not be such a bad thing.But the point is that the value of etiquette should not exceed the limit; and the relationship between the two parties must also be one of exchange and exchange.Otherwise, regardless of whether the food looks good or not, it will become blindly plundering and plundering, which is disgusting.

Moreover, I am always used to getting benefits from others, and I am completely unwilling to give. This kind of relationship will definitely not last long, and it is easy to go wrong. There is an old saying in China: You will not be rewarded without merit! ; There is a similar warning in modern times, there is no such thing as a free lunch! However, people are often troubled by greed, and profit and wealth are at the top, so they forget the ancient famous sayings and recent proverbs, thinking: Don't do it for nothing, it's a pity to miss the opportunity.In the end, it often comes true that the teaching of the phrase "cannibalism and softness of manpower" must pay double the price.

I remember when I was young, before going to someone’s home as a guest, my parents were afraid that the child would be ignorant and impolite, so they had to explain to me: When you go to someone’s home, you must never accept entertainment casually, and you must not take gifts from other people’s homes.Even if we just went for a walk around the neighbor's house after school, my parents were very nervous and asked: Do you eat other people's food?If there is, parents must immediately prepare more generous gifts to give back to each other. At that time, I intuitively thought that my parents were too polite and nervous.Until I was a little older, one day I saw a sentence in a book that said: If you take a catty, you must pay back at least four taels!And from the life experience of myself and my parents, I have confirmed the wisdom of these wise words one by one, and they do have the value of reference and practice.Even, I always thought that in the journey of life, there are often noble people who are willing to lend a helping hand to me in the most difficult time. These karma and fate are the blessings of my parents who are unwilling to lose to others in their lives.

You shouldn't accept such a gift if your friendship hasn't reached that point yet. In the modern industrial and commercial society, human relations are gradually weakening, and even good ideas such as courtesy and reciprocity will be distorted and misled, which is really a pity.Gift giving often turns into an ulterior motive in business. If the recipient is not properly vigilant, it is easy to fall into the trap of offering bribes.What gift, should I accept it?It has become a very profound knowledge. I do have a suggestion to simplify the complexities, and reciprocity must be based on the friendship between the two parties. The value of the gift itself should not exceed this boundary; the recipient must remember to return the gift at the right time, so that the true feelings of both parties can be shared. Kindness, to be able to interact and give back!This suggestion can not only save the embarrassment of half-push, but also effectively avoid disasters caused by commercial behavior.

Not only adults need to pay attention to the art of reciprocity when socializing, young students should also pay attention to gifts and benefits from unknown sources, so as not to pay a big price in the future. According to the police information, gangsters are becoming more and more powerful in campuses, and the methods they use are nothing more than providing young students with benefits such as money, fashion clothes, drugs and drugs to attract young friends to become addicted.I think beyond that, of course, is the very expensive, if not priceless, friendship and peer recognition in the world.

Money, fashionable clothes, drugs, friendship, recognition, these tangible and intangible gifts are very attractive, but they must not be accepted lightly, otherwise the upper body will not be thrown away. Paying too much for carrots that shouldn't be eaten It's not just gangsters who are good at using this method. Some manufacturers with immature marketing concepts will also use gifts and gifts to lure people into hooking up, and then force consumers to submit and pay the money. Once I was on a competitive TV show and got a free pager.At that time, because I already had a pager, I didn't really need to accept this gift.People are not sages, and they are given away for a moment of greed. If you don't take it, you won't take it for nothing!Let me lose my mind for a while, but later pay a lot of price.

It turned out that it was a sales promotion gimmick by an unscrupulous manufacturer.At the same time as I got the free pager, I also got a bill for the rental fee. Within a few days, I received a call saying that the bill would be sent to me.After negotiating with the company for several days, the other party did not pursue it after time-consuming and troublesome communication! (Looks like I'm lucky!) This experience has deepened my gratitude to my parents for their teachings.And remind myself once again in the future journey of life: Remember that you will not be green if you have no merit!

Don't take other people's things casually, everything has a price.
