What if you added 'Laozi' to a maid cafe?

Thank you very much for visiting among the many options available.


【Preface】

What happens if you add 'this self-help' to 'something'?

※This is strictly the personal opinion of 'Self-Help Sommelier: Moving with Words'.
Please use your imagination and enjoy.


【Introduction to Maid Cafes】

Maid cafes are fun with a variety of menus.

Let's add this self-help philosophy to it this time.


【The self-help philosophy to add is here】

【Laozi】

What is Laozi?

If you want to change something, ask 'Laozi'

'Laozi' is a book that has survived for about 2,500 years.

The fact that it has been read for so long means that there is a significant reason and charm to this book.

Actually, Laozi is said to be'extremely effective as the ultimate guidebook when you want to change something.'From 'wanting to change your mood' to 'wanting to change your life completely,' or even 'wanting to renew society'....

Humans have always wanted to transform and innovate things, making their lives and existence better, and have advanced history by wanting to change society and nations anew.

—Omitted—



Laozi looks at society from the outside.
In other words, it is spoken from a perspective as if viewing this earth from space.

Because it views us humans and this human society so objectively and holistically, it can be said that it hits the essence.

Therefore, when you want to change something or make a transition, it gives advice from an objective and holistic perspective.

The teaching to add is here.
↓↓↓

To hold and fill it is not as good as stopping.
To sharpen it and make it pointed, it cannot be kept for long.
When gold and jade fill the hall, no one can guard it. (Chapter 9, Yunyi)

If you get greedy for just a little more, people become unfree. It is better to be satisfied with about seventy percent.

【This is probably what will happen】

'Welcome, Master.'
Only a little left until No. 1 in sales! The first chance after working for a year. I am more enthusiastic than ever.

However, there was an unnatural feeling somewhere.
I know the reason.

Recently, I have been forcefully recommending cheki (polaroids) and expensive menu items. I wouldn't normally do this. But I told myself it was to become No. 1.

The photo from that cheki is a perfect fake smile. Just like when I was told I would be in the graduation album of a school I hated.

One day, while bringing water to a customer, I thought it was a hassle to make multiple trips, so I filled the glass to the brim, lost my balance, and spilled it everywhere.

I miserably wiped the floor with a rag.
And then, 'I'm just like that...'
I whispered in a voice no one could hear.

The water in the glass is like desire. If you get greedy, thinking 'I can fit more,' and walk around with it filled to the brim, you become restricted. It's hard to walk. All because of a little water.

However, if the glass is seventy percent full, you can walk briskly. Freely. Anywhere.

I knew that because I was too greedy, I was being bad-mouthed by my colleagues behind my back and receiving cold stares from customers.

I reconsidered.
I decided to suppress my greed.
I told myself, 'This is just right.'

Once I became free from greed, my natural charm began to shine through. It was as natural as saying 'Ketchup is KAGOME'.

It was as if I had been reborn.

And, I successfully became the number one seller.


🅿️You should not be too greedy, but be satisfied with seventy percent.

He who knows he has enough is rich.

There is no need to become a greed-nerd.
Welcome seventy percent greed like a master.

If you were to add the 'Tao Te Ching' to a maid cafe, this is probably what would happen.
