Humans don't perceive others as others but others including their affiliations, status, and environments.

Mr. Yamada, the department head, Ms. Tanaka, the new guy, Mr. Sato, the technician, Ms. Takahashi, who lives in Germany, and so on.

Especially in the case of the first meeting, it can not be helped.

At that time, we have no information to evaluate others.

However, the phrase "Mr. Ebata, a famous researcher" does not include affiliation, position, or environment.

It only contains "adjectives" that can be interpreted as both respect and contempt.

The other day, I found this phrase in an email and realized that "I see, I'm a famous researcher".

-----

When I was exchanging business cards with the other person, I was introduced by a colleague who said, "This is Ebata from the same department."

"Oh, You are Mr. Ebata... I've heard a lot of great things about you."

I got the comment.

-----

"Who is the source ?"

"What kind of great things ?"

Even if I want to dig in, I have to put up with it with a bitter smile.

This is an "adult business people"
