On the shore of the campus lake in the early morning, the mist is shrouded and the water surface is slightly rippling. Xiao Xunlong sat alone on a stone bench by the lake, holding an unlit cigarette in his hand, his brows furrowed, as if thinking about something.
Xiao Xunlong is a smart and hard-working young man, and he has good grades and reputation in school. However, he always felt that he was lacking in interpersonal communication, especially when interacting with male friends, and always felt a little restrained and uncomfortable.
Early that morning, Xiao Xunlong happened to see an article in a magazine about the rules of smoking. He suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, as if he had found the key to solving his problem. He decided to study these rules carefully so that he could be more comfortable in his future interactions.
Xiao Xunlong began to read the article carefully, from the order of the smoke, the posture to the attitude when receiving the smoke, every detail was not missed. He read and thought about it, and gradually realized the mystery.
It turns out that smoking is not just a simple action, but a sign of social etiquette and respect for others. When you smoke cigarettes, you should choose the appropriate order and method according to the person's identity, age and status, and when you accept the cigarette, you should also show humility and gratitude. These seemingly insignificant details can play an important role in interpersonal communication.
Xiao Xunlong felt that he had not done enough in this area before, and often made a bad impression because he neglected these details. He decided to change himself from now on and try to become a respectful and sociable person.
In the days that followed, Xiao Xunlong began to deliberately practice the skills and attitude of smoking. When he gets along with his friends, he pays more attention to details and etiquette, making them feel respected and cared for as much as possible.
Gradually, Xiao Xunlong found himself becoming more comfortable in interpersonal interactions. His friends also began to look at him with admiration and felt that he had become more mature and stable.
However, change doesn't happen overnight. Once, when Xiao Xunlong was dating a new friend, he was so nervous that he forgot the rules of smoking, which made the other person feel a little unhappy. This incident made Xiao Xunlong deeply aware of his shortcomings, and also made him more determined to continue to work hard.
After a period of hard work and practice, Xiao Xunlong finally mastered the rules and skills of smoking. He found himself not only becoming more comfortable in interpersonal interactions, but also becoming more confident and at ease in life.
In the early morning on the shore of the campus lake, Xiao Xunlong sat on the stone bench again, holding a lit cigarette in his hand. He took a deep breath and felt the freshness and tranquility of the early morning. He recalled his changes and growth during this time, and his heart was full of emotion and joy.
He understands a truth: in interpersonal communication, respect for others is respect for oneself. Mastering some basic social etiquette and rules can not only make you get along with others more decently, but also make you more stable and confident on the road of life.
Xiao Xunlong took a deep puff of his cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke ring. He looked into the distance, his heart full of hope and anticipation. He knows that as long as he continues to work hard and practice, the future road will be broader and better.
