Inspirational speech

Stewardess interviewing the story of blowing candles


An airline recruits flight attendants and requires that they are under the age of 25, cheerful and graceful. After a rigorous written test, 100 people passed the initial test. In the interview section, the airline prepared such a psychological test question: Can you blow out the birthday candle at once?

There are two alternative answers: A. All can be blown out; B. There may be a slight surplus; C. Because the saliva splashes onto the cake, not all blown out. The answer is followed by a piece of information: When the Greeks celebrated their children's birthday, they liked to put a lot of light candles on the cake. They believe that the lit candle has a mysterious power, and the birthday child makes a wish in his heart, blowing out all the candles in one breath, and the wish can be realized.

Among the people who participated in the interview, two-thirds chose A, one-sixth chose B, and the remaining one-six chose C. The airline directly eliminated the person who chose C. The reason is that this part of the person is too preoccupied, or is too cautious in doing things, and will not be generous in the work.

The airline asked the person who chose B: "When you insert a candle, how many candles are inserted according to your age, or is it based on the age?"

Almost 80% of people say that they are determined by their age. The airline has also eliminated this part of the people. Because this part of the people is too romantic, lack of rational thinking; or too stupid, can not think of ways to save.

For those who choose A, the airlines each give each person a cake filled with 25 candles and let them blow out once. As a result, half of the people did not blow out because of the tension. The airlines have also eliminated this part of the people. The reason is that they are nervous when they meet the quiz. If they have an aviation accident, how can they cope with it?

The remaining people went into an in-depth interview. Entering a deep interview means that you have been hired by an airline. The purpose of the third round of interviews is to select a supervisor among these people.

The interviewer for the in-depth interview is the main person in charge of the airline. There is only one question: “If life is a birthday cake”, speak freely.

The answer of one candidate was praised by the entire interviewer. She has to answer this:

If life is a birthday cake, the candle witnessed the growth of the human heart. Before the age of 10, we put in a handful of candles and we can blow them out in one breath. This is our simple and confident childhood. At the age of 20, the cake is filled with candles and blown down in one breath. It is impossible to blow all the bubbles. Off. Even if you can blow it out, you will feel dizzy. At this time, it means that we have grown up, and there are many things to consider. It is inevitable that some will be overwhelmed. After 25 years old, we choose the age of the last number to insert a candle. At this time, we learned to simplify and simplify, gradually bid farewell to simplicity, mature, and slowly learn to be a smart person. Today, I am 25 years old, even if there is no cake, I will light the candle for myself. Because, I have to remind myself all the time, to be a person who blows out all the candles in one go.

When she delivered her speech, she said: "To be a person who can blow out all the candles in one breath, is to ask us to use wisdom to refine life, and to learn to be simple and simple, so that we can discover the happy spring in life!"
