The Complete Works of Wolf Road

Chapter 39 Wolf Loyalty (3)
The lamb kneels and sucks, and the crow feeds back, which shows that animals are grateful, let alone us humans who are the spirits of all things?From family to school, from school to society, it is important to have a grateful heart.We teach our children, from an early age, let them know the so-called "one porridge and one meal, you should think about hard-won; every strand, you should know that material resources are difficult", the purpose is to let him know how to be grateful.

Gratitude has become a common social morality.However, one can be grateful for a little help from a stranger, while ignoring the kindness of a boss who gets along day and night.Taking everything for granted, as a purely commercial exchange, is one of the sources of tension between bosses and employees in many companies.Indeed, hiring and being hired is a contractual relationship, but behind this contractual relationship, isn't there a little bit of sympathy and gratitude?There is no confrontation between the boss and the employees. From a business point of view, it may be a win-win relationship; from an emotional point of view, there may be a family relationship and friendship.

Have you ever thought about writing a note to your boss, telling him how much you love your job and how grateful he is for giving you the opportunity to work?This creative way of thanking you is sure to get you noticed—and maybe even promoted.Gratitude is contagious, and the boss will likewise express his appreciation in concrete ways for the service you provide.

Don't forget to thank those around you - your boss and colleagues.Because they know you and support you.Say your thanks out loud and let them know you appreciate their trust and help.Remember, do speak up, and often!This can enhance the cohesion of the company.

Always need thanks.When the salesman is rejected, he should thank the customer for patiently listening to his explanation, so that he can have the next chance to patronize!When your boss criticizes you, you should thank him for all the teachings he gave.Gratitude doesn’t cost a dime, but it’s a major investment that will go a long way toward the future!
True gratitude should be sincere, heartfelt gratitude, not hypocrisy to cater to others for a certain purpose.Unlike flattery, gratitude is a natural expression of emotion that does not expect anything in return.Some people are grateful to their boss from the bottom of their hearts, but because they are afraid of gossip, they hide their gratitude in their hearts, and even deliberately alienate their boss to show their innocence.How naive is this idea!If we can realize from the bottom of our hearts that it is because of the boss's painstaking work that the company has developed today, and it is precisely because of the boss's earnest teaching that we have made progress, why should we worry about other people's gossip? ?
Gratitude doesn't just benefit companies and bosses.For individuals, gratitude is an affluent life.It is a profound feeling that enhances one's charisma, opens doors of magical power, and unearths infinite wisdom.Gratitude, like other desirable traits, is a habit and an attitude.

Gratitude and compassion are close relatives.Always be grateful, and you will become more humble, honorable and noble.Take a few minutes every day to be grateful for being a member of the company and to be grateful for meeting such a boss.All things are relative, no matter how bad your situation is.

"Thank you", "I appreciate you", these words should be on the lips often.Expressing your gratitude in a special way, giving your time and energy, working harder for the company and the boss, is more valuable than material gifts.

When your hard work and gratitude are not rewarded accordingly, when you are ready to quit and change jobs, also be grateful.Every job and every boss is not perfect.Think carefully before resigning. Every job you have ever held has a lot of valuable experience and resources.The frustration of failure, the joy of self-growth, strict bosses, warm working partners, and thankful customers... These are all experiences worth learning in life.If you can go to work with a grateful heart every day, I believe that the mood at work will naturally be pleasant and positive.

7 To deceive others is to deceive yourself

One must not be dishonest, acting by deceit will only lead to a disastrous defeat, because honesty is the basic character of being a human being.The last person a deceiver deceives is himself.

Koike Tadako, the founder of Yamaichi Securities Company in Japan, said: "The first key to success in business is honesty. Honesty is like the root of a tree. If there is no root, the tree will not even want to have life." This is indeed Koike Speaking from experience, he was built on honesty.

Koike Tianzi opened the Koike store in his 20s and worked as a salesman for a machine manufacturing company at the same time.For a period of time, he sold the machine very smoothly. Within half a month, he signed contracts with 33 customers and received deposits.Later, he found that the machines he sold were more expensive than machines with the same performance produced by other companies. He felt very uneasy. He immediately took the contract and deposit and spent 3 days looking for subscribers door to door. Explain that the price of the machine he sells is more expensive than that of others, and ask them to rescind the contract.This moved the subscribers deeply. As a result, none of the 33 rescinded the contract. Instead, they had great trust and admiration for Koike Tianzi.As the word spread, people knew that Koike was honest in business, and people came to his store to buy goods or order machines from him.Honesty made Koike Tianzi a lot of money, and finally became a big entrepreneur.

In many people's minds, the prejudice that "honest people suffer" and "honesty is synonymous with uselessness" is very harmful.The enterprise spirit pursued by Daqing Oilfield back then was "three old and four strict", and the "three old" means "to be an honest person, to speak the truth, and to do honest things".Numerous facts have proved that honest people do not suffer.

If you sow honesty, you will reap credibility; if you sow deceit, you will only reap failure.

There is such a fable:

Once upon a time there was a wise and beloved king who managed the country well.The king was growing old, but had no children at his knees.In the end, he decided to select a child from all over the country to be adopted as a adopted son and train him to be the future king.

The king's standard for selecting children is very unique. He distributes some flower seeds to each of the children and announces that whoever uses these seeds to cultivate the most beautiful flowers will become his adopted son.

After the children got the seeds back, they began to cultivate carefully, watering, fertilizing and loosening the soil from morning to night. Everyone hoped that they would be the lucky ones.

There is a boy named Xiongri who also carefully cultivates flower seeds all day long.However, 10 days have passed, and half a month has passed, and the seeds in the flower pots have not even sprouted, let alone bloomed.

The day came when the king decided to look at the flowers.Countless beautifully dressed children rushed to the street, each holding a flowerpot full of flowers, looking forward to the king who was slowly patrolling.The king looked around at the colorful flowers and beautiful children, and was not as happy as everyone imagined.

Suddenly, the king saw Xiong Ri holding an empty flower pot.He stood listlessly, and the king called him to him, and asked him:
"Why are you carrying an empty flower pot?"

Xiongri remorsefully told the story of how he took care of it meticulously, but the flower seeds never sprouted.Unexpectedly, the happiest smile appeared on the king's face. He hugged Xiongri and said loudly, "Son, you are the one I am looking for!"

"Why is this?" Everyone asked the king in puzzlement.

The king said: "The flower seeds I send are all boiled, and it is impossible to germinate and bloom."

The children holding flowers all bowed their heads, and they all sowed another seed.

There are many fake things in the world, and they have indeed deceived many people for a period of time, but the fake ones are fake after all and cannot stand the test.If we want to achieve great things, deception may work for a while, but it is far less useful than honesty.

8 Would rather fail than lose faith
Honesty and trustworthiness are the most important capital for a person to succeed.

In 1986, Japanese businessman Fujita accepted a contract from an American oil company to customize 300 million sets of cutlery and forks, and stipulated that they would be delivered in Chicago on September 9 of the same year.He immediately entrusted manufacturers in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture to make it.In order not to delay the delivery date, Fujita asked the manufacturer to ship from Yokohama on August 1, but the manufacturer has been delayed until August 8 to ship.As a result, unless it is shipped by air, it cannot be delivered on schedule.

Fujita knew that the cost of air freight between Chicago and Tokyo was about 3 US dollars, which was not cost-effective to transport 300 million sets of knives and forks.However, he thought: "The counterparty of the contract is the 'American Oil Company' dominated by the Jews. The Jews are very trustworthy. No matter what, we must deliver the goods on time. Once the contract is broken, the other party will never trust us any more." So, Fujita He did not hesitate to spend 3 US dollars in air freight to rent a Boeing 707 aircraft, loaded the goods on August 8, flew to Chicago at 31 o'clock, and delivered the goods on September 10 as scheduled.

The other party greatly appreciated Fujita's move, and ordered Western food utensils from him in the second year, the number of orders was double that of the previous one, 600 million sets.However, the manufacturer missed the delivery date again, so he had to rent a plane to deliver the goods by air.He rented the plane twice to deliver the goods on time. Although he suffered a lot of losses, he gained the high trust of the Jews in him.

The news that Fujita was not afraid of losing money twice and rented the plane to deliver the goods on time spread like wildfire and spread throughout the world, which earned him the reputation of "Ginza Jew", which means "the only businessman in Japan who abides by the contract".Since then, orders from Jews have been coming in, making Fujita a lot of money.

In fact, all people should pay attention to the role of credit. We are based on the world, and trustworthiness to others is the best way to make ourselves deeply rooted in our development. Deep rootedness can make us smooth sailing. Even if we encounter difficulties, we can rely on the help of others. Get over it.

But those who do not keep their promises and abandon their promises are different. Not only will people not cooperate with him, but they will even treat him as worthless, and they will become lonely because of not keeping their promises. Naturally, there will be no good results.

Being strict and trustworthy can win a good reputation for yourself.It is not only manifested in behavioral control in front of others, but also in self-restraint behind others.Therefore, this is a noble character that a person should but is not easy to develop.Success in life will tell us: Keeping promises and being strict with oneself is the infinite power in life and the guarantee of success in career.

"Smart deceit is not as good as clumsy sincerity." "Smart deceit" refers to the practice of deceiving and covering up. "Smart deceit" seems to be a clever strategy at first glance, but over time, the possibility of people around you becoming suspicious or even staying away will increase. "Zhuocheng" refers to doing things with sincerity. The behavior may be rather stupid, but it will win the hearts of most people.Therefore, instead of using clever methods to deceive others in life, it is better to treat others sincerely.

It's easy to get to know someone. Counting 365 days a year, there are too many people who pass us by.But starting from shoulder-to-shoulder contact, there are very few people who can open up their hearts and talk to each other, no matter whether it is in the form of letters or meeting as a guest. "Gold is easy to get, but a confidant is hard to find." "It is enough to have a confidant in life, and the world should treat it with the same heart."

After Lu Xun made friends with Qu Qiubai, he wrote this couplet as a gift.

Indeed, friends can become close friends. After becoming confidants, they care about you, love you, comfort you when you are difficult, bless you when you succeed, remind you when you are forgetful, and encourage you when you are discouraged.This is very, very rare.It can be said that there is no one who is unwilling to devote his whole life to making such a friend.A good friend can embellish your life, make you appreciate the rich layers of emotion, the colorful life, make you more energetic, and cherish the value of life.

In order to find friends and confidants in the vast sea of ​​people, besides the unresolvable fate, the most important thing is to rely on one's own self-cultivation and hard work, just like eating fruit requires planting fruit trees first.Friends will not come to you for no reason, nor will they become confidantes with you for no reason.To win friends, you must first make yourself a person who is easier to be appreciated by others. This appreciation certainly includes appearance and demeanor.But what is more important is the quality and self-cultivation shown by a person, such as honesty and trustworthiness, broad mind and so on.

Many people seem to like to use deception these days.In fact, the basic principles of human relations are not much different from ancient to modern.People who like deceit, although they can deceive others for a while and gain benefits, but over time, they will definitely show their feet and lose others' trust in you.In the end, not only did not gain much, but the loss was even greater.

After making friends, it is also very important to always maintain a positive attitude.If there is a friend who appreciates you very much, cares and loves you very much in various occasions and situations, and you just enjoy this friendship comfortably and warmly, but you don’t understand that you should repay him with the same sincerity , then this period of friendship that was originally developed may die halfway.Only by making a heart-to-heart wish can we get a lifelong friendship.Therefore, the ancients said: "Hundred hearts cannot win one person, but one heart can win hundreds of hearts."
