There are three levels of toasting at dinner. If you can master these three levels of toasting, I believe you will be appreciated by leaders.
The first level is to respect with hands, Holding up the wine glass without saying anything, the most important thing is to say "I did it, you are free." This is a very embarrassing behavior, have you found it? You didn't tell me the reason for drinking. Why should people give you a drink? Is that right?
The second level is to show respect with your mouth, Just can say some scenes. For example, showing respect to leaders, welcoming guests, thanking elders, expressing hope to young people, expressing enthusiasm to strangers, and celebrating people who have done good things. These are common toasting routines. It's better to say something than not to say it. At least it's pleasant to hear what you say, and everyone has a good time drinking, But if you want to make a better impression on the other party, it is useless to say more of these cliches. People will feel no sense if they listen to them more, right.
You need to understand The highest level of toasting is to pay homage with heart, and the secret is to add sincerity to truth.
For example, when toasting elders, if you say, "Uncle Zhang, you have been very kind to me these years, and you have given me so much help, this wine is my toast."
It's a bit thin for you to say so. If you can add some timely details, it will be better: "This wine is just for you and me to go to school when we were young. You not only lent me tuition fees, but also gave me a lot of advice. In particular, you said to keep learning attitude, which I will never forget in my life. Next, I will continue to work hard to live up to your aspirations. This wine is for you." You see, how thoughtful it is to say so, Right.
Another example is a toast to leaders. If you say, "President Wang, I especially admire your meticulous attitude towards work, and I will learn from you more in the future."
How insensitive of you to say so. You can talk about some details, Say this: "President Wang, I particularly admire your meticulous attitude towards work. I remember the first time I sent a document to a customer, I didn't have much experience at that time. I remember that you pointed out my key details at that time. You taught me how to do a good job in details and serve customers. The impression that gave me was really profound. Today I can make these small achievements in the department, which is really special Don't thank you for your advice. I will take my work more seriously in the future and follow you to make better achievements. " It's more powerful to say so, isn't it.
When toasting, whether it's to express praise, gratitude, celebration, hope, etc., you can combine the details of the real facts with your heartfelt statements, so that the other party will be more moved, because you know more, right? The other party is also more willing to have deeper interaction with you.
