As we get older, this question is no longer an important issue in the eyes of our relatives, who are now concerned about our children's test scores.
I was troubled by this problem for a long time. I remember returning home in the first year of work, and at a large family dinner, an uncle who worked as a government cadre in my hometown asked me what I was doing.
I replied that it was a test.
Sure enough, they didn't understand what a test was. I went on to explain that our company manufactures laptops, and we need to do some tests on the computers. This answer, for those relatives, does not provide a better explanation. At this time, a cousin who was still in high school stood up, I know, it's just a computer repair, right?
I wanted to explain that this laptop test is still a little different from what he understands about repairing computers, but looking at everyone is a pair of "Oh, that's it... I suddenly lost the movement to explain further.
It's still this cousin.,Took out the netbook that his father didn't buy for him.,Let me help him see how he gets more and more stuck.,The game can't be played.。 He said that he originally wanted me to help him show him what the problem was with the computer, but he didn't expect "such a coincidence" that I was engaged in computer repair.
I had no choice but to take over the computer and start clearing the cache, deleting some useless software, four or five antivirus software, and competing with each other.
At this time, I heard an aunt secretly telling my mother that I could be in the top 20 in our school in the college entrance examination that year, and the school I went to was also 211, so how could I just come out and just repair computers? We have a neighbor who graduated from high school and learned to repair televisions, and now he also has a sign that can repair computers, haven't you studied for four years in vain?
My mom must be facing me, although she doesn't understand what I do, but she still explains there: you don't understand, the computers repaired by this xxx are all bad, the quality is poor, our family learned, the repair is a laptop, imported, high-end goods, not the same. My mother, you're not explaining, it's just that I'm a computer repairer.
I thought about it, didn't stop my mom from explaining further, didn't have that energy, mainly didn't have the confidence to make them understand.
Since then, if anyone has a computer problem at home, or wants to buy a laptop, if I am at home, I will definitely let me take a look. Sometimes I can't figure it out, or the computer is so bad that I still endure disdainful eyes.
Then I changed jobs and started working on projects, and I told my mom to stop telling people that I was a computer repairer, and that I was working on projects now.
What is a project and how do you do it? Is it good to get it, do you want to help yourself? Isn't that adding to the chaos? I don't have the confidence to explain what this project manager does.
Suddenly I thought of how to explain, I took out my business card and gave my mom a few, printed with "project manager", my mom suddenly realized, what to do with the project, you said you are the manager I will know. So, after a dinner with relatives, everyone knew that I was the manager, and then in those years, when relatives and children were looking for jobs, they would ask me, do you recruit people there? I said I don't bring a team, I don't recruit people.
Oh, your mom says you're the manager, the commander of the light pole", the same disdain, the same recipe.
may also be close, but some relatives become "hoping that you are doing well, but they don't want you to live too well".
I haven't been back much for the Chinese New Year for some reasons in the past few years, and I have also traveled abroad a few times to bring some souvenirs to my family.
Maybe it was beyond the acquaintance of my relatives back home, and slowly no one came to ask me what I was doing. Simple rural people always think that those who can go abroad are good jobs, and they are not ordinary people. In fact, every time I go on a business trip, I really don't want to go.
In fact, it doesn't matter what your profession and job are like in the eyes of your relatives, sometimes it's like a "personality", they think you are what you are. And you have to explain or change their impression, not just saying it, but giving them a new "personality"!
