There are many incredible things in the world that we cannot understand and accept. And today, a story I heard also made me feel strange. This is a story about a husband whose legs tremble in front of a hotel in order to please a female clientele.
The protagonists of the story are a couple who have been married for many years. The husband is a receptionist at a well-known hotel, diligent and conscientious, and is very praised and loved by customers. Recently, however, his wife discovered a shocking secret to him.
One day, the wife received a call from a female customer praising her husband for his attentive service and kindness. The wife was very happy, thinking that her husband was really a good employee and worthy of respect. However, when the wife suddenly came to the door of the hotel where her husband worked, she was surprised to find him standing there with his legs trembling.
The wife's heart was full of doubts and unease. She walked over to ask her husband what had happened and why his legs were shaking. The husband stopped talking, and finally couldn't help but confess his secret to his wife.
It turned out that in order to please female customers, the husband would perform a special trick while working. He deliberately made his legs tremble so that female clients felt that he was nervous and focused on service, which led to more positive reviews and appreciation. The husband explained that he felt that female clients were more susceptible to this performance and were more willing to communicate and cooperate with him, which was very important for his work and career development.
Hearing the husband's explanation, the wife felt very angry and disappointed. She believes that her husband's behavior is dishonest and hypocritical, and there is no need to please others. She couldn't accept that her husband had given up his true self for the sake of his job and had not adhered to his principles and values.
After the wife calmed down, she had an in-depth conversation with her husband. She told her husband that authenticity and honesty are the cornerstones of a long-lasting relationship. While performances can bring short-term praise and accolades, they fail to earn true respect and trust. Only by sticking to your true self can you win the sincerity and recognition of others.
Under the persuasion of his wife, the husband gradually realized his mistake. He decided to change himself and re-establish the right values. Since then, the husband no longer uses hypocritical ways to please others, but adheres to the principles of truth and honesty, and tries his best to provide quality service to every customer.
This story gives us food for thought. In real life, we often give up our true selves for various reasons and pursue short-term appreciation and praise. However, we should clearly understand that only by adhering to the principles of truthfulness and honesty can we truly win the respect and approval of others and build a truly lasting relationship.
Through this story, we should reflect on our own actions and values. Have we given up our true selves in order to please others? Are we hypocritically accommodating the preferences and expectations of others? Only by answering and solving these questions can we grow and progress.
Life is a journey of authenticity and honesty. Only by adhering to the principles of authenticity and honesty can we go further, gain more opportunities and success. Let's learn from this story and be brave enough to be true to ourselves and not give up our values and principles for any outside factor.
