Friends chatted about the British Prime Minister's messy and untrimmed hair, listening to it, I thought that the world was changing. People my age feel the drastic change because they have crossed two centuries, the last century, that is ancient....
In the early 1980s, I went to the British Council to learn some business correspondence rules and business communication skills, such as when to use yours sincerely at the end of a letter and when to use yours faithfully; the person who answered the phone was not in his seat, how to politely leave the phone number of the person who answered the phone for him to call back, and avoid telling people who had gone to the toilet, and even reporting the whereabouts of others without knowing who the other person was, which was also unprofessional.
The British have made a lot of rules, some etiquette is to know each other's passwords, know each other's education level or a little social background, such as the invitation to write diss in dark, this is the Dressing Code, after arriving at the scene to avoid everyone wearing a dress and you alone wear a round neck old man's undershirt.
The British thought the Yankees were uncultured, John Ah Jack casually called, they stressed the need to call Mr. Or Ms. The last name of someone cannot be called a name alone. In fact, the family origin can also be roughly found from the surname.
But after the Americans became the boss, the British prime minister also had messy hair. I remember Microsoft Bill Gates mentioned in his autobiography that he went to see IBM once before he started, hurriedly did not wear a tie, according to the British Council teacher, this is disrespectful to others, so he also went out of his way to buy a tie tie knot, at that time he swore that when he succeeded, he would not wear a tie to meet people!
He did change the rules, and for a long time the CEOs of many IT companies did not show their ties!
The rules of the world are set by the strong. Who cares about him now in English letters, Sincerely or Faithfully? Polite and also Best Regards, the rest, owe! American culture dominates, new humans don't comb their hair, and food may be between sandwiches and hamburgers!
