Many people beat their heads and regret that they missed an opportunity, and that they pushed it away themselves, often for a simple reason: to belittle someone, for example.

A couple came to the president's reception room at Harvard, and they insisted on seeing the president, and the president had to take some time out of his busy schedule to receive them. The couple told the principal that their son had attended Harvard and that he liked the school very much. Now that their son has died suddenly, they hope to build a memorial building for their son at Harvard. After hearing their words, the headmaster looked at them with suspicion. The couple was neatly dressed, but they were very simple, and they didn't look like rich people, so the headmaster said in a mocking tone: "Monumental buildings? What kind of place is Harvard University, every inch of land is valuable! See the lawn outside the window? It was imported from South Korea, and a piece cost tens of thousands of dollars, and if you look at those buildings, one will cost millions or even tens of millions! What do you do with this? The couple looked at the principal in surprise, and then the wife said to her husband, "Did you hear that?" My dear, it only costs a few million dollars to build a building, so why don't we build a memorial university for our son? A year later, a new university was established, the famous Stanford University, which was named after the couple's son.

The president of Harvard University must have never dreamed of what kind of offer he had turned down, what opportunity he had missed, and if it had not been for his straightforward preconceived prejudices, the couple could have become a strong donor to Harvard, but his mistake in thought had prevented Harvard from receiving a donation, and yet there was a strong competitor. In life, many people often make similar mistakes and miss a lot of opportunities because they belittle others. The media once reported such a news: a group of Chinese children applied to study at a university in the United Kingdom, they were all waiting at the gate of the school, the examiner's car came, a British, a Chinese walked out of the car, all the children flocked to the British, only a skinny girl asked the Chinese about the situation. When it came time for the exam, everyone found out that the Chinese was the examiner, and the skinny girl passed the exam easily because she made a good impression on the examiner. Analyze, the mentality of this group of children is really a bit problematic, knowing that both of them are examiners, but they choose to embrace the British and snub the Chinese examiners, which is obviously underestimating the psychology of others. And that skinny girl easily crossed the exam because she treated everyone equally.

There was an incident in one place where two car trading halls were fighting on the same street, and there was a lot of competition between them.

One day there was a strange customer in Hall A: he was wearing a pair of mud-stained pants and carrying a plastic bag in his hand, and his image looked out of place in the car showroom. A shopping guide in Hall A came over with a frown: "Sir, what car do you need!" The man was a little flustered and said, "Ah, no, I'm just looking!" The shopping guide frowned even deeper: "Our cars here are all on display, don't touch them!" Besides, we're not a shopping mall here, so what are you visiting here? After the shopping guide finished speaking, he turned around and left. The man stood for a moment, and then had to leave. After a while, he pushed the door and entered Hall B, and a shopping guide saw him and immediately ran over to say hello: "Sir, is there anything I can do for you?" The man said lightly, "I'm just looking!" The shopping guide followed closely beside him, and whenever this person took a few more glances at a certain car, she hurried to introduce it. The man was a little embarrassed: "I don't buy a car, I just look at it!" The shopping guide was still smiling: "I know, but it's good for you to understand!" After listening to the words of the shopping guide, this person's frowning brows also relaxed: "Miss, I want to buy 30 Z-Z agricultural vehicles, you can place an order for me immediately!" The shopping guide was taken aback: "Yes, but our manager is not here!" The man smiled mildly and said, "No need to look for your manager, your attitude towards me has made me trust you unreservedly!" Let's open the ticket, I'll pay the deposit first! ”

Because of her contempt for others, the shopping guide in Hall A lost a huge amount of orders, and if she knew that the old-dressed person was actually a big customer, she would definitely regret it! In life, many people are deeply hidden: dignitaries and nobles may look like approachable neighbors; Tens of millions of super-rich, perhaps dressed like ordinary insects...... Many opportunities also often come under the cloak of being old, and if you ignore it, you will push it away from you, and it will be difficult to get it back.

On the road of life, we will meet all kinds of people, each of them has their own uniqueness, you don't know who will help you, who can affect your destiny, so we can only choose to treat everyone equally, so that we will not miss any opportunities, in order to succeed faster.
