When I first started to learn floral art, the school asked me if I wanted to get a certificate. As a result, 90% of the class chose not to take the exam. And I am one of the remaining 10%, so I chose textual research.
In fact, there is no absolutely correct answer to whether to get a certificate, but I personally think that craftsmanship is very important and certificates are equally important. This is your passport to prove your identity.
It's been a year since I resigned from the company. During this year, I learned a lot and participated in the 3.8 Women's Day activities at school. Almost all over Beijing, giving lectures and salons to various units. 10 activities, from 4, 5 am to 9 pm, 10 are normal. At that time, I really understood that the floral industry is not a leisure job, but a manual labor that treats women as men. However, even under such high-intensity work, I am not tired of this industry. Instead, I watched so many people like to play with flowers, asked me some related questions seriously, and finally took a photo with me to say thank you. That sense of accomplishment is unprecedented. Through this activity, I have strengthened my determination to be a flower shop.
My former boss has been contacting me this year, hoping that I can go back to the company and think that floral art is a niche industry. It is too difficult for a girl to do well and achieve something. She has been denying my choice. However, I refused my boss's invitation. When I chose this road, I thought it over, not for a moment. Even if you fail in the future, you should see a result instead of giving up halfway because you are afraid of the future.
Japan Flower Merchants Association has influence not only in Asia, but also in Europe, America, Australia, New Zealand and other countries and regions. NFD qualification certificate is recognized in 29 countries around the world and can be used as employment certificate. As a master of Japanese floral art, Japan Florists Association has certified NFD Florists' Qualification Certificate. Not only the top flower shops in Japan are proud of it, but also the top flower shops all over the world are proud of it.
I chose to go to Japan to study floral art in the second half of this year and get this certificate. However, not only to get this certificate, but also to learn different education systems. Many people will say that there are many good flower schools in China, which can be verified in China. Why do they spend so much money to study in Japan? Think I'm burning money and screwing around.
China does have many good floral training institutions and many top diplomats to teach. Although the tuition is expensive, it will be much cheaper than going to Japan. But I think I can't feel the culture and spirit of their country. No matter how good diplomacy is, some things have limitations, and so do what you can understand. Many good floral training institutions hold internships abroad for international students every year to feel the local customs and culture.
Floriculture originated in China, but it really developed in Japan. I want to go to Japan to personally experience the Japanese understanding of floral art and what kind of spirit and yearning they have for flowers.
A certificate is an ID card to prove yourself. It is an essential plan for my future florist to go to the local area to experience the feelings personally. When I arrive in Japan, I will often update my articles and record my feelings and learning. When I still have energy, dreams and yearning, I will experience everything I want to do, constantly revise, constantly learn and constantly improve myself.
At the age of 30, choosing a new industry is tantamount to starting from scratch, feeling uneasy, uncertain, at a loss, confused ... These feelings sometimes keep me awake all night, so I must work harder. Now that you have chosen, you must work hard to do it well. Even if it ends in failure.
