In nightfall that day, my son suddenly told me excitedly on phone, “Dad, I am telling you a good news! I have been employed!” Greatly surprised, I could not wait to ask him, “What’s the whole matter?”My son told me that he received another text saying that he was employed. My son felt very confused about it, so he made a call to the company for inquiry. Actually the first text sent to my son was also part of the test in the interview. Three men received the same text this morning and only my son’s reply was satisfying to the company, so he was employed. I asked my son, “How did all of you reply?” My son said, “One did not reply. The other said “goodbye” and I said “thank you”.”
傍晚,兒子在電話中興奮地說:“爸爸,告訴你個好消息,我被錄取了?!蔽乙魂圀@喜,忙問:“這是怎么回事?”兒子告訴我,他剛剛又接到了“你被錄取了”的短信,很激動,但莫名其妙,就打電話詢問。原來這些短信也是復試的一個步驟,參加復試的3人上午都接到了同樣的短信,只有兒子的回復讓招聘方滿意,所以就錄用了。 我問兒子:“你們都是怎么回復的?”兒子說:“一個沒有回復,一個回復‘拜拜’,我回復了‘謝謝’。”
nly then did I know that my son’s “hope” came in that way. That is, when you feel disappointed, do not forget to say thank you to the one who disappoints you. Actually, it is a piece of cake to say thank you. But whether you are willing to say it in a peaceful and grateful manner does count. Saying thank you shows respect for others’ work and demonstrates your grand generosity. Therefore, while under the same condition, you will get the upper hand in terms of opportunities compared with others!
兒子的希望原來是這么來到的。就是在你失望的時候,別忘了向讓你失望的人說聲謝謝。其實,說聲謝謝很容易,就看你是否愿意說出口,能否以平和、感恩的心態說出來。一聲謝謝,既尊重了人家的勞動,又體現了自己的心胸,同樣條件,機會的天平就會向你這邊傾斜。
