On an ordinary day, a female civil servant threatens a barber. But this is not the climax of the story. When the video was uploaded online by the barber, the female civil servant walked into the barbershop under a lot of pressure and bowed deeply to apologize. However, the barber did not look up at her, but just looked down and played with her phone, as if her presence did not matter. This is the confidence of not seeking people, this is the dignity of a craftsman.
This barber is just an ordinary craftsman, he lives on his craft, does not depend on anyone, and has no so-called "leadership". He doesn't need to look at anyone's face, he's a real free man. If he had a so-called "leader," maybe he would have been forced to delete that video, and maybe he would have been told that it was also his fault. But the reality is that you really can't do anything about a real craftsman.
In our lives, there are also many such craftsmen. For example, a breakfast chef in front of my house is famous for his beef soup. He once told me that he didn't need anyone's help, he just needed his craft. He said: "Don't look at me just making beef soup, I don't sell it to anyone who doesn't like it." I don't lack money for that bowl of beef soup. ”
This is the dignity of the craftsman, this is the confidence of not seeking people. In this world, there are many people who are pursuing such dignity and confidence. And becoming a true craftsman is the best way to achieve this.
In modern society, especially in fast-moving cities, people are increasingly dependent on various external factors such as money, status and power. But true dignity and freedom do not come from these external factors, but from inner self-esteem and self-confidence. A true craftsman, he does not depend on any external factors, he only depends on his craft and skills. This is his dignity, this is his freedom.
But in real life, many people forget this. They only pursue superficial glory and wealth, while ignoring the real needs of their hearts. They may have a lot of money and high status, but they are empty inside, and they lack true self-esteem and self-confidence.
Therefore, we should re-examine our lives and redefine our values. We should pursue not only external success, but also inner satisfaction and freedom. Only in this way can we truly live ourselves and truly realize our value.
In ancient times, craftsmen were an important part of society. With their own hands, they have created countless amazing works. Whether it is architecture, sculpture, painting, music, dance, theater, they are inseparable from their hard work. They are not only creators, but also inheritors, who pass on the wisdom and skills of ancient times to future generations.
But with the development of technology, many traditional crafts began to gradually disappear. Machines replaced human hands, and mass production replaced handwork. Many people believe that this is progress and the development of society. But in reality, we lose far more than we gain. We lose that opportunity for direct contact with matter and nature, and we lose that joy and satisfaction of creating.
But fortunately, modern society is beginning to rediscover the value of craftsmanship. More and more people are learning various crafts, whether it is pottery, woodworking, painting, calligraphy. They are no longer satisfied with the uniformity of machine production, they seek uniqueness, true art.
This trend is happening not just in China, but all over the world. In Japan, there is a concept called "craftsman", which refers to those who are proficient in a certain craft. They are not only highly skilled, but more importantly, their attitude towards craftsmanship is one of awe and respect. They believe that craftsmanship is not only a means of survival, but also an attitude and philosophy of life.
In the West, many people are beginning to rediscover the value of craftsmanship. They believe that craftsmanship is a way of direct contact with nature and matter, a true creation. They are no longer satisfied with consumption, they pursue creation and experience.
So, craft is not just a skill, but also an attitude and philosophy. It teaches us how to live in harmony with nature and matter, how to truly create and experience. In this era of rapid development, we should cherish and inherit the spirit of this craft.
