I was recently invited to dinner by a friend. During the meal, the manager of the restaurant came and said that our meal was free. He stood there at me and he seemed a little to me but I couldn’t quite remember him. I asked him if he knew me. He laughed and said I had probably him, but that I’d changed his life. My friend was quite and asked him how I’d done this.
He said that twelve years ago he a stress(压力)management(管理)class that I was giving. I asked the group what their greatest was and most of them, including him, said it was their bosses.
He said I listened and then took a chair and placed it in the center of the room. I on the chair for a few moments and then I everyone to come and do the same. I wanted them to look at the room from up there. After everyone had done it, I asked the group to how the room looked different when they changed their perspective(角度).
Then I asked them to their bosses. Was this the same person who had seen their good and hired them? Did they remember how happy they were to be for the job? But how did these wonderful people become terrible bosses?
He said I looked at him and asked if he had said thank you to his boss for the to earn a living. He answered he hadn’t. Then I asked him why he hadn’t tried being to his boss.
He told us his changed that night. He went back to work the next day with a thank-you card to his boss. He said I’d him to look at life from different perspectives and express thanks.
