你什么时候意识到自己没见过世面?When did you realize that you haven't seen much of the world?
在工作的第三年,领导让我陪同客户去五星级酒店享用早餐自助餐。我有些羞涩地表示,这是我第一次尝试高级酒店的自助餐。我以为自己主要是负责跑腿打杂,没想到领导让我来吃饭,我心里有点慌张,但更多的是期待。当我端着盘子来到桌前时,领导和客户都惊讶地看着我,因为盘子里一半都是培根。我有些局促地解释说:“我在电影里看到这些食物,就想尝尝。”领导有些不满地看着我,客户却友好地笑了笑说:“年轻人就是要多尝试,没关系,多吃点!”从那一刻起,我真正意识到自己来自小地方,见识不足。尽管出身不同,但我决心努力奋斗。而美好的是,客户记住了我,并要求让我成为他的联系客户经理,他觉得我像他年轻时的自己。这让我感到无比荣幸,也更加坚定了我的努力方向。
In my third year at work, my boss asked me to accompany a client to a five-star hotel for a breakfast buffet. Feeling a bit shy, I confessed it was my first time experiencing such a luxurious meal. I initially thought I was there to assist, but to my surprise, my boss invited me to join them. I felt a mix of nervousness and excitement as I approached the buffet, loading up my plate with mostly bacon, inspired by what I'd seen in movies. My boss and the client looked surprised, but while my boss seemed a bit displeased, the client kindly encouraged me to explore and enjoy. From that moment, I realized my limited exposure and vowed to strive harder. It was heartening when the client later requested me as their key account manager, seeing a reflection of his younger self in me. This recognition deeply honored me and strengthened my determination to succeed, despite my humble beginnings.
