Features: When visiting a bookstore, you'll see many books on business etiquette on the shelves, but most of their content is explanatory in nature, with no exercise books. This inevitably makes one wonder: why aren't there any exercise books? Now, with exercise books available for various qualification exams, wouldn't it be even better to have one for etiquette? Indeed, business etiquette is full of rigid rules, dull, and difficult to memorize, with countless examples that can be overwhelming. However, once you understand and firmly grasp the basics of etiquette, you can adapt to different situations accordingly. Etiquette is not just a set of rules. Even if you break them, there are no penalties—everything is decided based on personal judgment. Treating others as you would treat yourself with kindness and empathy, putting yourself in their shoes, is what truly constitutes etiquette.
When young people enter the workforce, it differs from their student days. To succeed in the business world and ensure they remain unvanquished, they must first firmly master business etiquette. Successful individuals not only excel in their work but also stand out in their attention to etiquette. I hope newcomers will make full use of their time on their way to work, during their commute, and repeatedly read this etiquette exercise book to grasp its fundamental principles. Mastering business etiquette is the first step to seizing important opportunities!
During the translation process of this book, we also received profound education. In the economic society, as our integration with the international community deepens, a lack of etiquette knowledge makes it difficult to achieve success. China is a nation of etiquette, valuing civilization and politeness. Emphasis on etiquette has long been a widespread custom in ancient times, but in recent years, these fine traditions of civilization, politeness, and etiquette have somewhat been neglected. I hope this book can contribute to restoring our traditional civilization.
