YAOXIAOSHU Vol.63: Rainbow Fart

Once, Teacher Luo was confused because the small cups of Star Coffee were called medium cups and the large cups were called super large cups.

At that time, as a sallow, Niu Ma was also confused about the evaluation system in the company, because here: it was generally called "very good", and "very good" was called "close to perfect". The first time I was evaluated like this, I once thought I had reached the peak of my life. Everyone's evaluation of my work is actually so high. Everyone began to doubt that they didn't do well in primary school Chinese. They had set too high standards for themselves before.

It was not until the appearance of the word "rainbow fart"...

It turned out that in order to maintain a seemingly harmonious and pleasant communication atmosphere, everyone began to praise exaggeratedly and without limit. In such an atmosphere, objective feedback and constructive suggestions will be marginalized, replaced by hypocritical praise for the sake of pleasing and catering to others, and trust among people will be constantly weakened. The proliferation of "rainbow farts" can distort people's values. In a culture that overly emphasizes external performance and immediate feedback, genuine abilities and efforts often become nothing.

People all like to be praised, but they hope even more that the praise is sincere. "Approaching perfection" should be the goal and motivation to strive for, rather than a senseless compliment.

So, a rainbow-colored fart is just a fart.
