On the streets of that town, the sunlight shone on the bluestone slabs, quietly dappled, as if time had stood still here. Life in a small town is quiet and uneventful, but it also contains many ups and downs of life.
Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong are two ordinary young people in this town, their stories may be plain, but they are full of fun and lessons in life.
People in the town know that Xiao Ming is a person with high emotional intelligence. Although he is not good at words, he is well versed in people's hearts, and is good at listening and understanding the emotions of others. He has a delicate mind and is always able to give warmth and encouragement to others when they need help. Xiaohong, on the other hand, is a person with relatively low emotional intelligence. She has a cheerful personality and likes to interact with people, but she lacks a certain amount of self-control and is easy to talk about her private affairs.
One day, Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong strolled through the streets of the town together. Xiaohong suddenly confided in Xiao Ming: "You know what? I recently got a new boyfriend, he is super handsome, he sends me flowers and gifts every day, and our relationship is progressing rapidly!"
Xiao Ming smiled slightly, listened silently, and did not interrupt Xiao Hong's words. He knew that at this moment, what Xiaohong needed was not his evaluation, but listening and understanding.
"Sounds good, but are you sure your relationship is stable?" asked Xiao Ming softly.
Xiaohong scoffed with some displeasure: "Of course, we really love each other!" As soon as she finished speaking, she began to tell the story of the relationship between her and her boyfriend.
On another day, Xiao Ming said to Xiao Hong: "Actually, I've been a little worried lately. ”
Xiaohong immediately interrupted him: "What's the matter, tell me quickly, I can help you!"
Xiao Ming smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I've been feeling a little anxious lately, probably because I'm under too much pressure from studying. ”
After hearing this, Xiao Hong immediately encouraged: "It's okay, Xiao Ming, you are so smart, you will definitely be able to deal with it! ”
This is a small contrast between Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong. Xiao Ming knows how to protect his own privacy and respect the privacy of others, he knows when to speak and when to shut up. And Xiaohong likes to show everything about herself, whether it is good or bad, she is willing to share it with others.
In the days that followed, Xiaohong's boyfriend suddenly broke up with her for some reason, while Xiao Ming successfully passed the academic difficulties with the encouragement and support of his friends. A long time has passed, and Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong are still good friends, but Xiao Hong has gradually understood the importance of protecting her privacy and learned to control her emotions better. And Xiao Ming has also strengthened his principle in interpersonal communication, even if he has high emotional intelligence, he must know how to retain privacy in a timely manner, because respecting others is also a manifestation of respecting himself.
In this town, the story of Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong may be bland, but it is full of philosophy and inspiration of life. Their encounter is not only the beginning of friendship, but also the contrast between emotional intelligence and human nature, which makes people think deeply about the true meaning of life.
