I was recently invited to dinner by a friend. During the meal, the manager came over and said that our meal was free. He stood there
at me, he seemed to know me.
I asked if he knew me. He laughed and said I had probably
him, but I had changed his life. He said that twelve years ago he was in
stress management class. I asked the group what their number one stress was and
of them, including him, said it was their
.
He said I listened carefully and then took a chair and placed it in the center of the room. I
on the chair for a few minutes and then I invited everyone to do the same. I wanted them to look at the room from
there. After everyone had done it, I asked the group to think about how
the room looked 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? Do they remember how happy they were to be
for the job? 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 opportunity to make a living. He answered no.
He told me his
changed that night. He went back to work with a
card to his boss. He had been the manager for 8 years. He said he owed it all to me: I had taught him to look at life from different perspectives and I had taught him to express gratitude.
