What groups do the Bobo people, the high-class gray people, and the new poor people refer to respectively?

The "Bobo people" generally have higher education and rich incomes. They pay attention to the quality of life, pursue inner freedom, advocate returning to nature, and use essential happiness as the standard. They are a group that is good at both work and life. Its own low-key aristocratic taste and restrained romantic temperament have gained wide recognition. There are humorous posts about bobo people everywhere on the Internet. Even the old authority in the office will smile sincerely and protectively when mentioning the bobo colleagues around him, and the comments are often - fresh and cute.

The word "Bourgeois" comes from the book "The Rise of the Social Elite" by American writer David Brooks. He combined bourgeois (bourgeois) and Po River (Bohemia) condensed into the word "bobo's", and called this new group "eternal moral laws, rather than moral laws, to regulate worldly desires."

It should be said that the bobo tribe is also a part of the new human race. However, the bobo tribe is fundamentally different from the previous new humans. In the past, new humans only focused on expressing their individuality, satisfying themselves, and being innovative in their way of life; while the bobo people truly felt life with their hearts, pursued natural individuality, and used their wise minds to create their own civilization. If the "drifting generation" only pays attention to personal feelings and does not consider the overall integration with social life, then the bobo people are much more rational than the "drifting generation".

Some people say that the bobo people are a more alternative new type of human beings because they do not accept kitsch fashion items; they never pay attention to the matching of their clothes, and their casualness is a bit extreme; they yearn for nature, eat cereals, bread, They eat organic vegetables and green food; they practice yoga and do extreme sports... What is worthy of admiration is that the Bobo people have unique stress-reducing strategies and life concepts:

"Bobo" concept 1: The more stress you have, the more The bigger, the more you have to jump out.

The "Bobo people" work enthusiastically because work is self-expression and a social mission; the "Bobo people" boldly play because playing is relaxation and psychological stress relief. The "Bobo people" believe that only those who can play can work and can "play" to produce high-quality works.

"bobo" concept two: look down on conflicts and contradictions, happiness is the most important.

The "Uncles" have always divided the contradictions (problems) very clearly: work is work, and friendship is friendship. I can talk to you about "life or death" at work, but outside of work, we will always be friends. The "Bobo people" look down on conflicts and contradictions, and happiness is the most important thing.

"Bobo" concept three: You can enjoy the best, but also have the courage to endure the worst.

The "Bobo people" like to travel, get out of the city where they live all day, experience new things, and broaden their horizons. They can not only enjoy the products of successive generations of civilizations, but also travel arduously deep into tropical forests where mosquitoes are infested. They do not just take a casual tour, but go deep into the local culture and folk customs.

"Bobo" concept four: Physical health and mental health are equally important.

In the eyes of the "Bobos", health is extremely important. Running and exercise have replaced smoking; Espresso has replaced spirits; multi-purpose sports tourers have replaced the latest popular family cars. All for a healthier body.

In short, the "Bobo people" never let themselves live very tiredly, because they understand that the world is a stage, and the meaning of survival is to let us finally be happy! So they will continue to "feed" themselves and relieve stress - this life philosophy is worth learning from each of us. Although we may not have as high an education as them, such generous remuneration or proud achievements, at least we can, like them, cherish our mood, know how to adjust, learn to add oxygen to our psychology, and be a relaxed and happy person!

"Advanced Gray" sketch

Wearing gray executive suits, using the most advanced e-commerce equipment, and smelling of perfume; most of them have a master's degree or above and hold important management positions , is the keen target of headhunting companies; wearing a professional and confident smile, lingering in business clubs with the attitude of "everything is under control", shuttling between high-end office buildings and star hotels, staying at international airports, flying over the city... …

As early as the 1950s, two-piece, three-breasted gray suits were typical wear in the financial center of Wall Street. At that time, there was a movie called "The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit" man". To this day, the timeless charm of the gray suit is still the fashion label of the calm, rational, and low-key middle class. Theoretically, "high-end gray" occupies a prominent position and is the leader in the office.

"Internationalization" is "high-end gray". The biggest criterion for life and work: speak "international Mandarin" (English), the way of thinking has long been "in line with international standards", and the working method pays attention to "playing chess". Act according to "international practices" and are keen to apply for MBA, "international qualification certification", etc. It would be a big mistake to think that their "global communication" is just blind admiration for foreign countries. As long as they are interested, they can also talk about Confucius, Mencius, Laozi and Zhuangzhuang. Currently, "Sinology" is also a hot topic all over the world.

"High-end Gray" Vs Bourgeois

Everything is under control

New tribe, Bobo, these tribes contain nothing more than pursuit A qualitative leap from the material to the spiritual level requires atmosphere and sentiment. Remember 4M when eating Western food and 5W when drinking foreign wine. After you are fed and clothed, you will naturally find ways to live a better life, so that your life will not be miserable. Excessive happiness appears pale and boring.

The petite bourgeois style is particularly friendly because it does not require too much effort to achieve: a little candlelight, a mouthful of blue mountains, two pieces of casual background music (Lounge Music) with jazz elements, plus A few touches of lazy, carefree and cynical makeup will give you a great feeling. If they are still not satisfied, they can complain that the candlelight is too vulgar, the coffee is too weak, or the Saxophone tunes are too frivolous. The more they complain, the deeper they will get into the industry.

A petty bourgeoisie drank coffee at Starbucks. He didn’t like the strong Espresso, disliked the sweetness of Macchiato, and hated the “too big” cappuccino. In the end, he reluctantly ordered a cup and took a sip first. He was so old that he frowned: "Oh, the coffee at Starbucks just has no personality..."

But he would still pay attention to the green smiling goddess, and would drink coffee on the sofa every now and then and listen to the young jazz complaining—— Discuss the so-called personality issue in the coffee "KFC".

"Advanced Gray" also likes to hang out in Starbucks, but what attracts them is not the coffee music, but its speed and precision: all the idle elements are arranged just right, making people unable to help but relax. Here is another battlefield, with sofas, music, mood, and the intoxication factor setting sweet traps silently. Topics that are inconvenient to talk about in the office can be easily opened. The opponents who were extremely wary just now are actually showing fatigue... They are Relying on this move, you can easily remove your opponent's armor and return victorious at the negotiation table in the next few days.

Don’t do it for nothing, because drunkenness will disrupt the normal functioning of the brain; don’t drink beer, because going to the toilet too frequently will be unbecoming; if the other party thinks that whiskey will make the mouth smell bad, "senior" on the day There will definitely no more Royal Salute or Glenfiddich on the dining table of "Gray"... I have never seen a petty bourgeoisie who does not deliberately pursue details, and there is also no "high-end gray" who is confused and loses order in public. No matter how much we talk about postures and methods, it is still empty words. Conceptual things cannot be faked no matter what.

"High-end gray" vs white-collar workers

The unbearable weight in life

Originally, there is no absolute division of labor between the brain and the body. Nowadays, everything is related to "computer" ", "automatic" has a little bit of it, the machine is the real "blue collar", and everything else has been bleached white - really fashionable, really noble, really superior. Unfortunately, fashion snobs cannot tolerate such a harmonious atmosphere, and its overflow is vulgarity. So a new term appeared: "high-end gray".

This time he is really outstanding. Just a "senior" is enough to make the elites in the circle soar to the sky. Whether it is the "boss" who is back to his original nature, the "CEO" who is still popular, or the dazzling supervisors, directors, and chiefs, as long as they are not in vain, they can probably be included in the ranks of "high-end gray".

Don’t think that if they sit in an enviable high position and receive a reasonable and unexpected high salary, their lives will be really smooth. In fact, "high-end grays" face much greater survival pressure and sense of responsibility than ordinary office workers. Mr. Wang is the business manager of a company. The documents that need to be "reviewed" every day can be calculated in meters. "As long as I move my pen, it is not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but dozens, hundreds or even thousands." Tens of millions!" To use a very crude analogy: If you exchange these tens of millions for the 100-yuan banknotes with the largest denomination and press them on someone, there is a high probability that someone will be killed. What's more, the "advanced grays" have these unbearable weights on their shoulders all day long.

"Advanced Gray" work and rest schedule

Get up at -7:00. Make international long distance calls and learn about business conditions in the other hemisphere. Check Mail, the documents that the assistant rushed out all night yesterday arrived "just in time", so I called and suggested modifications.

-7:30 Take a shower, cologne, and a touch of pine wood to drive away the remaining tiredness. For breakfast, a cup of freshly ground coffee without sugar or milk, and a few pills of vitamin deep-sea cod liver oil.

-I drove to the office on time at 8:00, arriving an hour earlier than all the employees. As always, I smiled kindly at the aunt who had just cleaned up.

-8:00-? Work, negotiate, work. Take the time off to confirm your flight to Paris the day after tomorrow. If you're really lucky enough to "steal half a day's leisure," you'll probably either have a "golf diplomacy" with the boss of Company A or attend a business party with Client B.

If you can squeeze out a little more time to accompany your "friends" in a private club, that will be even happier than winning the sports lottery. But the price is more or less the feeling of "wasted time", and you quickly shorten your sleep time that day or increase the density of tomorrow's schedule to compensate.

--7:00 is the time to sleep and the time to get up is ironclad.

Mr.

"High-end Gray" Vs Mr. 90 Degree Pants

Happy family is the driving force for success

"His pants are straight, his posture is upright, and there is a knot under his knees when he sits. A 90-degree right angle, where you can open a door."

"He has a stutter and wears white clothes after get off work. He has a strict personality and has read the most recent novel "Journey to the West". , making models at home on weekends. There is no sentiment, and Vicki was given a fruit juice machine for her birthday.”

“Although he doesn’t speak sweet words, what he does is impressive. During lunch, he will peel two apples and slice them. Put it in a plastic bag. Then put it in the hospital envelope and send it to Vicki by courier before one o'clock."

Compared with Mr. 90 Degree Pants, he wears a strict and rigid suit all day long. ” They are almost so happy that they can run wild, at least from the bottom of their hearts, they still long for uninhibition and freedom. Outing, off-roading, they will never point to the vegetables like Internet idiots and say "the grass in the wild is so beautiful." However, if they only go with a tour group to participate in a "countryside one-day tour" in the countryside less than 10 kilometers away, they will be armed to the teeth, put on sunglasses, hiking shoes, apply sunscreen to isolate ultraviolet rays, and then put on a A travel backpack filled with a kettle, a raincoat, a map, a compass, a flashlight, a Swiss Army knife, cold medicine, band-aids, painkillers, and anti-inflammatories, happily "returning to nature." Of course, being in the countryside, "urbanites" will inevitably have a more or less sense of superiority, and the pretentiousness of "high-end gray" is understandable.

Most of the "high-end grays", if they are not "diamonds", have happy families, and many of them have the traditional tendency of being afraid of their wives. As long as Mr. L, a well-known brand manager, comes home late after working overtime, he will sleep on the sofa in the living room obediently - "My wife has insomnia, so it's not good to disturb her." For "high-end gray", feelings are either 100% or 100%. Ground insulation, or take care of everything early.

It is hard to imagine that people who are surrounded by flowers and willows can still devote all their energy to the road of "high-end gray". It is rare to leave a little thought to warm one person, but if you want to be a blessing to others, I am afraid It's beyond my capabilities. Therefore, the "high-end gray" who is familiar with "a happy family is the driving force for success" is as careful and gentle as the "pants".

The new poor: poor people with high wages
