some thoughts about face

Nowadays, marvelous people are concerned about a thing-face. I'm not referring to the organ that we show on the outside. It's actually a matter of reputation and feelings. As we know, face can be seen as a long-lasting culture in our nation. Funny stories about face can be picked up anywhere in the long history. Since face has become part of our life, that how we treat it can lead to different results.

More often than not, we care about saving our face too much that we get restricted. We desperately want acception and fame, but meanwhile it brings unnecessary pressure. As a result, negative emotions come to haunt us.

In common with many others, I had similar experiences. It was a chemical class and I was asked to solve a problem on the blackboard. Having no bloody idea how to work it out, I stood in front of the class painfully. After enduring as long as a century's silence and embarassment, I slinked back to my seat. I couldn't help thinking the others must be laughing at me. I was a complete idiot and I lost my face. In the next few days I avoided classmates' eyesight because I was afraid to see their scorn. Until one day I happened to know that other classmates didn't know the answer, either. What's more, they have already forgotten that day's incident. It's just me troubling myself the whole time!

From then on, I realized that others don't pay as much attention as you imagine to you. Face is unequal to dignity or ability. So long as you are satisfied with yourself, you won't lose face. So, focus on perfecting yourself. So forget about the ridiculous face.

Sometimes caring about saving face will help us to make a disipline as well as  to behave ourselves better, but too much caring will bring us enormous pressure as you say.
    We need to save our face but as the same time we should find a certain outlet to make us think wisely.

yeah, I agree with you. It has something to do with the balance. Sometimes face can act as motivation for us to modify our behaviour. Sometimes it prevent us from finding the ture self.

When we are tied to face excessively, we may do things against our will just try to please others. Indeed face have certain positive effect, yet I think it's not a good tradition.

Take it easy, my girl. That is all right that we are not able to answer the teachers' questions. Answering question is a chance to challenge ourselves and improve ourselves. That's ok we don't know the answers.

On one hand, we care other's opinions too much, always wanting to leave good impressions on them. On the other hand, we care ourselves too much, thinking everyone else is watching us.

I guess that everyone has similar experiences with you,which we felt shamed of.But as time goes on,we grow to maturity.Therefore we gradually recognized  that sometimes reputation is not so important,what really should be important is ourselves.
