1 | the first semester of blind worship

"the great god so-and-so said."

Idol worship is more common in beginner coffee friends, and the object of worship may also be a teacher who has just taken a class.

When you first enter the door of coffee, too many novel things come one after another: pulling flowers, extracting, and tasting a taste experience that you have never had before.

The "Great God" is a bright spot that collides with opportunities in a certain field. Thanks to these hard-won successes, more new friends begin to understand coffee and realize the hope that they can also become "great gods" one day.

But at the same time, it also brings some common problems. Blind worship is likely to lead to a lack of knowledge. Teachers who start classes are not necessarily good at all aspects of coffee, and often have a preference in style, as an old article said:

In a documentary, a white-haired Japanese coffee maker filters the cup with his left hand and brews the pot with his right hand, making the water from high to low, seemingly unbroken. At this time, you say, "my teacher says it's called smashing powder, what is it?" don't you feel too embarrassed?

2 | Adolescent who thinks that no one else is good

It is normal for us to be confused or extreme at the beginning of the semester, and we have to go through these stages in the process of acquiring any knowledge. Calculus in college is actually of great help to high school physics, while the "stupid method" used in high school is a necessary process of knowledge iteration.

In the preparatory period before opening a store in 2011, like many young people who were going to open a store, I visited restaurants every day.

"there is no layer of American coffee in this shop."

"there is something wrong with the latte foam in this shop."

"the dessert in this restaurant doesn't match the coffee."

In a word: cut.

Finding fault is a way of self-improvement, but it is similar to the kind of "aggressor" we don't like in social situations, with a hint of hostility at heart. "can't see" and "can't hear", unless you have a good friend, it's hard for anyone to dial one or two for you.

3 | Adults who are modest and looking for bright spots

When I have some business experience, I will be a lot more modest when I visit the store in 2012. up to now, I still hear someone advise me to say, "you don't have to look at that new store, it's rubbish."

However, every time I go shopping, I can still gain a lot from the details of the store and the conversation with the operator. In addition to coffee, there are guest design, menu design, marketing options and so on.

A few days ago, when I visited a small shop, the boss politely invited me to the bar to make a cup of coffee. I found that there were more than 20 sets of individual cups in the store. The boss took out two cups and talked about the difference in the experience of the same coffee due to different containers. Talking about how bone porcelain cups can improve life, and so on.

I believe that there are bright spots in every store that are worth learning. You only need to recognize the students in front of the "coffee".

Just like the slogen I printed in my customer card last year: "be humble in the presentation of a cup of coffee". Only when adults learn to be modest and look for bright spots, discover more, think more, and comprehend, can the coffee world really belong to itself.

Have you found some shadow of yourself in these growing experiences?
