面子重要吗 Is face important

“people need face while the trees need skin”, this is an old saying in China. The meaning is that Chinese people pay special attention on the dignity. Loving face is most people’s behavior, so they like to brag, they enjoy being adored by others. About the face problem, I think we should not take it serious, we are not living for other people, we are living for ourselves. The real self-esteem is from our hearts, not from other people. Chinese people like to brag, they brag about their property, hoping that people will respect him. The funny thing is that only the fake successful people will brag, the real one is silent, they keep working hard, the successful career supports their self-esteem. If we want people to respect us, we should show our reality, be nice to them, never brag about ourselves.

“人要脸树要皮”， 这是中国的一句老话。意思是中国人很注重尊严问题。爱面子是大多数人的习惯，他们喜欢吹嘘，享受被人崇拜。关于面子问题，我认为我们不应该把它看得很重，我们不是为别人而活，是为自己而活。真正的自尊是出于我们的内心，不是看别人。中国人喜欢吹牛，他们夸大自己的财产，希望人们尊重他们。有趣的是只有不成功的人才会吹牛，真正成功的人是沉默的，他们努力工作，事业的成功支撑着他们的自尊。如果我们想要别人尊重我们，我们应该展示我们真实的一面，对人友好，不要吹牛。
