Respect the value of self

At a party, an old friend who settled in Hamburg, Germany, told me about his interesting job search story.

Last year, after graduating from Germany, he began to apply for a job, hoping to find a formal job as soon as possible, in order to settle down. However, the employment situation in Hamburg is not optimistic. In addition, he has just graduated and lacks work experience, so he has not found a job that he thinks is appropriate.

It was not until three months later that he began to be disheartened and pleaded, and was accepted by a private small architectural decoration design company with his certificate and qualification of the second-level architectural decoration designer.

The private company is small in size and can give him a relatively low salary. The monthly salary is only 2,800 euros, but he is already content with it. After all, it is hard to come by, so he works very safely.

After just working for a week, the trade unionist found him and began to consult his salary question. He answered the truth. At the end, the staff of the trade union reminded him: "Mr. Li, according to the regulations of the trade union and the government, a secondary architectural designer like you should get a monthly salary of 3,500 euros." But he smiled and replied: "Thank you for your concern. I can accept this low salary now, I need this job."

After that, the staff of the union left with disappointment.

However, on the second day, the staff of the government department actually came, and did not ask him, but directly found the boss of his private company, hoping that the company could raise him to the government's prescribed 3,500 euros. Because the government believes that this is not in compliance with national laws and violates human rights, it violates the real labor value of a second-level architectural decoration designer.

Finally, the head of the unit said that he could not meet this requirement and had to dismiss him, making him laugh and cry. The responsible person of the trade union and the government also reminded him seriously: "Please respect your value because it has been recognized by the society. When you devalue or destroy your value, it means lowering or destroying the whole industry. In this way, the value of this society.” In this way, he had to lead the government’s unemployment benefits for a long time until he found another job that was consistent with his identity and value.

My friend finally said that he was still very moved by this lovely government intervention, because they let him clearly realize his value, let him find his self-confidence, and let him understand another truth: no matter when, You should respect your own value, and you should not belittle and destroy your own value because of the temporary predicament, because your destruction will hurt the value of the entire industry and even the rules of society.

Because only those who know how to respect their own values ​​can truly enjoy the respect of society!

Sometimes we will lower our own value and give up our dreams for life. It feels right, but it has already hurt yourself and others.
