What incident made you understand that you must use your brain when speaking?

I once saw a joke like this. A father asked his son, what is your dream when you grow up? The son talks about money and women. The father slapped his son twice and asked him to say it again. The son talked about career and love again. After hearing this answer, Dad smiled. This is the different results brought about by different language expressions. If you express the same thing in different tones and vocabulary, the results will be completely different. It may be a slap in the mouth, or it may be a compliment, it all depends on how you express it. .

Since ancient times, there have been many people who have made trouble with their mouths. Language is the carrier of thinking and a manifestation of people’s inner world. Therefore, it is not harmful to people to use their brains before speaking. Think twice before speaking. There's never anything wrong with that. What made me deeply realize this was an incident at the beginning. At that time, I was still young and not deeply involved in the world, and I didn't know that language expression was so important in interpersonal relationships. Let’s talk about what that happened next.

I don’t have any academic qualifications, and my job is very simple, which is to install ceilings for others. I remember that when I first started as an apprentice, my work was very slow. The boss had too much work to finish, so he asked us to work as apprentices. We also went into battle together, but the customers didn’t know that I was an apprentice. The boss deliberately hid our identity as apprentices in order to make more money. One day, the customers were a little reluctant to work. As an apprentice, I did my job really well. It's very slow. Customers blame me. Are you a master? Why are you working so slowly? I was very nervous at the time, thinking that I might be betrayed now. I was a little nervous about what to say next. I even wanted to confess to the other party that I was not a master but an apprentice. But at this time, the boss happened to come in and he said The words made me fall in admiration. Our boss said to the customer that this is a kind of respect we show to the customer. He can work very fast, but I won't let him work fast. Slow work will bring out the fine work. I must let him do it well until you are satisfied. .

Since then I have understood that some seemingly complicated things can be resolved with a few simple words.
