What do you mean by wearing a top hat?

Secular people like to praise people for "wearing a top hat" to their face.

Once upon a time, there was a respected teacher. Because of his high popularity in the whole country, many people want to be his students, but he doesn't accept them. He only admitted two students with higher qualifications. These two students always listen to the teacher. If they have any questions they don't understand, they go to the teacher for advice, and the teacher answers them one by one.

On this day, the court heard that the two disciples of the teacher were highly qualified and had studied with the teacher for more than ten years. The king was prepared to hire them as assistants because the teacher was popular.

So he sent an envoy to the teacher's house with a heavy dowry to explain his purpose. The teacher said, "I don't have a problem with this, but I hope the messenger will ask for their advice."

The messenger came to ask two students again. As soon as the students heard that they were going to be officials, they agreed without thinking.

Before they decided to leave, they went to say goodbye to the teacher together.

The teacher asked, "How are you going to treat people when you get to other places?"

The student replied, "Don't worry, teacher, we will give everyone a hat to make everyone happy."

The teacher sternly warned: "No, this kind of scandal must not be done." . Although the world is getting worse, honest people are more than one bargained for, but I hope you must strictly observe your own sentiments and be honest. "

A student quickly bowed down and said, "The teacher's words are of great educational significance to the students. How many people in the society don't like wearing high hats like teachers now? "

The teacher smiled and nodded and said, "That's why I taught you to be honest."

After leaving, the two students smiled at each other and said, "Look, a tall hat has been sent out."

"A good word is warm in three winters, and a bad word is cold in June." There is no one in the world who doesn't like to hear people say good things. In fact, a tall hat can be divided into praise and flattery, but one is more sincere and the other is more hypocritical. Praise is a good lubricant in interpersonal relationships. Everyone instinctively yearns for heartfelt praise and affirmation, but sincerity and hypocrisy are difficult to distinguish for a while. Some people yearn for sincerity, but many people only digest good words without considering hypocrisy, so high hats can be so popular all over the world.
