My name is Li Dong and I am 28 years old. I'm a sales manager for a small business living an ordinary life with nothing unremarkable. It was just me and my mom at home, and my dad died when I was young. I've always had a good relationship with my mom, she's all I have in life. Although I look like a very low-key person on the outside, deep down, I have a desire to be recognized.
My story begins with a family dinner. It was a weekend when my mom invited some relatives over for dinner at the house. In China, family dinners are a normal thing, but for me, it's always full of stress and contradictions.
My relatives are traditional, and they always value social status and superficiality. I, on the other hand, am a more introverted person, not good at rhetoric, and not good at performing in front of others. Every time I have a family dinner, I always feel like a lonely bird on the stage, unable to fit into their circle.
On that day, my mother specially prepared a table of sumptuous dishes to welcome relatives from afar. While I was helping out in the kitchen, I felt anxiety in my heart. I know that tonight is the beginning of another ordeal.
Guests arrived one after another, and the lively atmosphere gradually filled the whole home. I looked at the familiar faces, but I felt an inexplicable sense of alienation in my heart. They were laughing and talking, and I was like an outsider, not knowing how to fit into their conversation.
"Li Dong, this is your second uncle's son Xiao Ming, you have a good chat. Mom laughed and pulled a young man in front of me.
"Hello, Xiao Ming, it's a pleasure to meet you. I smiled reluctantly, not knowing what to say next.
"Li Dong, how are you doing lately?" The second aunt's voice broke the awkward atmosphere.
"It's okay, it's just busy. I coped casually, but there was a trace of inferiority in my heart, feeling that my work was too inconspicuous compared to theirs.
At the beginning of dinner, the dishes on the table were full of aroma, everyone was holding their own dishes, and the topic was flowing from time to time.
"Li Dong, I heard that your house has been renovated recently?" An aunt asked me.
"yes, it's just a simple decoration. I replied in a few words, thinking in my heart that my home was so different from the luxurious decoration of theirs.
"Oh, your house must be beautiful again. Auntie said with emotion.
I smiled wryly and nodded, not sure how to answer. On this occasion, I always feel that I am being compared with others everywhere, and I feel an indescribable depression in my heart.
In my conversations with my relatives, I felt an invisible pressure, as if I had to do something to prove myself and prove that I was not a loser in their eyes. However, I didn't know how to do it, how to express myself.
I looked at the dishes on the table, and my heart was full of helplessness. These four things can't be low-key, if you keep a low profile, you will be looked down upon, this sentence echoes in my heart. I wanted to fit in with the family, but I didn't know what to do to make myself better and more visible.
This night, after the family dinner, I felt even more lonely and lost. I knew I had to do something to change in order to be able to stand in this society. But I didn't know where to start, how to find my place.
After this family dinner, I started to think harder about how I could change myself and how I could behave more confidently in social situations. I decided to start with myself and improve my abilities and social skills.
The next day, in between work, I decided to go to the library to borrow some books to replenish myself. I found that there were many books on psychology and self-improvement in addition to books on sales skills and communication skills, so I decided to read more books on this subject in the hope of finding some inspiration and help.
After a few weeks, I noticed some changes in my mindset and attitude. I started to be more active in communicating with my colleagues and learning from their experiences and skills. I also began to take the initiative to participate in the training and activities organized by the company, hoping to continuously improve my ability and knowledge.
In terms of family, I also began to take the initiative to participate in family activities, communicate more with my mother, and share my thoughts and feelings. My mom was also very happy to see the changes in me, and she always encouraged me to believe in myself and be brave enough to pursue my dreams.
By chance, I met a senior who has been working in the same industry for many years, and he takes great care of me and often shares some information and experience in the industry. I learned a lot from him and gradually built some of my own connections in the industry.
Over time, I have found that my social and professional skills have improved a lot. I started to feel more confident in social situations and no longer felt like an outsider. I learned to use my strength and hard work to earn the respect and recognition of others.
I also became more relaxed and confident at family dinners. I no longer worry about being looked down upon, but I use my actions, words and deeds to prove my worth. My conversations with my relatives have also become more relaxed and enjoyable, and everyone can feel my change and progress.
These four things can't be low-key, if you keep a low profile, you will be looked down upon, and the meaning of this sentence in my heart has become more profound. I learned that keeping a low profile is not a virtue, it's a limitation. Only by daring to show oneself and dare to pursue better can we be invincible in this highly competitive society.
I know that there is still a long way to go, and I still have a lot to learn and improve. But I believe that as long as I persevere in my efforts and pursue bravely, I will be able to create my own brilliance.
As I grew up in my career and family, I began to be more clear about my goals and pursuits. I realized that in order to stand in society, you need not only good social skills and professional skills, but also strong beliefs and correct values.
In my work, I take the initiative to take on more responsibilities and strive to improve my performance and abilities. I am no longer satisfied with the status quo, but constantly pursue progress and breakthroughs. My efforts have been recognized by my colleagues and leaders, and I have gradually become the best in the team, getting more opportunities and challenges.
In the family, I have also become more caring and considerate. My mom and I have also become closer, and we often walk and chat together, sharing each other's moods and lives. I also pay more attention to other members of the family and try to help them as much as possible, so that they can feel my love and warmth.
By chance, I came across a volunteer activity for a charity organization and I decided to get involved. Through volunteering, I have learned to care for others, to help others, and to appreciate what I have more. I have found that when I give for others, the inner satisfaction cannot be expressed in words.
In my work and life, I have also made a lot of like-minded friends, and we encourage each other, support each other, and grow together. Their presence has enriched my life and I have learned to enjoy every day of life more happily.
At a family dinner, I found that I no longer felt stressed and conflicted. My conversations with my relatives have become more relaxed and enjoyable, and everyone can feel my change and progress. Instead of responding to their questions, I actively participate in the conversation and share my insights and experiences.
"Li Dong, has your work been going well recently?" The second aunt asked with concern.
"Yes, the project has been going well lately and our team has achieved great results. I replied confidently.
"Oh, Li Dong is really getting better and better, I think you will definitely have a good development in the future. The second aunt praised with a smile.
I was secretly glad in my heart, thankful that my efforts had finally been recognized by others. I know that these four things can't be low-key, and if you keep a low profile, you'll be looked down upon, right. Only by daring to show oneself and dare to pursue better can we be invincible in this highly competitive society.
At the end of the family dinner, I felt content and happy. I know that I am no longer the lonely bird, but a confident and strong person. I believe that there is still a long way to go, but I will continue to work hard, move forward bravely, and chase my dreams and future.
After a period of hard work and growth, I feel more confident and mature. I started to pursue my dreams and goals more aggressively, and I was no longer swayed by outside evaluations. I believe that as long as I persevere in my efforts, I will be able to achieve greater achievements and progress.

My efforts have been recognized by the company and my colleagues, and I have gradually become a core person in the team, getting more opportunities and responsibilities.
