He is a doctor of economics, a university lecturer, and she has a master's degree in information technology, working in a large corporation. The two have been close friends since school days, but when he grew up, he began to show that he was much more knowledgeable than her. In the conversation, every time she made a comment about economics or technology, he tried to refute the idea that he was just a master, not qualified enough to discuss many macro issues. Once, she talked about artificial intelligence and its impact on the labor market, he immediately asked: I have taught students this many times. You read the online newspaper and then decide? She just laughed, but could not help but feel frustrated. Obviously, high school does not mean having a culture in communication.
In another case, you are a famous lawyer, and she is the deputy director of a small company. The two used to be close friends, but since you opened your own law office and became more and more successful, she started to show discomfort. At a class reunion party, seeing her friend in form and talking interestingly, she deliberately lowered him with quotes: In the past, he was really good at studying but shy like an emperor. Who would be so skillful now? You must have met a good teacher who was very willing to teach to become such a person.
You just keep quiet, laughing slightly but she still doesn't stop and then say to another person deliberately to listen to you: I don't understand why people worry about money all day, argue about hiring, and consult on hiring, but they are still enthusiastic all day long, Facebook!
You finish listening, still smile like a professional lawyer, but keep quiet: I argue about hiring, but at least I don't say bad things for free like anyone else!".
These are just a few examples from countless other cases in daily life, many people are highly educated but have a narrow mindset, like to scrutiny, and jealousy.
In life, education can help someone have a good career, but cultural behavior is what helps each individual be respected. People with real knowledge do not need to be defeated by small actions, but they know how to support others to develop together. Therefore, the foreign language has a saying: "Some people consider others' success as their own failure and others' failure as their own success".
