01 At Standard Oil, a small clerk has a strange habit. When he stayed in a hotel on a business trip, he would always write the words "Standard Oil at $4 per barrel" under his signature. Even letters and receipts are no exception, as long as they can be signed, those words will be written. As a result, he was called "$4 a barrel" by his colleagues. Chairman Rockefeller was curious when he found out and approached him to ask why. It turned out that the junior clerk had looked for a lot of jobs before, but they all thought he was inexperienced and screened him out. Just when he was cornered, it was the oil company that sent him an offer to join him. He was grateful when he received the invitation, and when he learned that the company needed to advertise, he didn't hesitate to use himself as a living advertising slogan. Whenever there was a signed document, he wrote the words "Standard Oil for $4 a barrel" to set up a label for the company and attract customers. Rockefeller was so moved that he invited him to dinner. He is honored to continue to improve his skills and create great value for the company with his outstanding performance. He was the second chairman of the oil company, Archiboth. There's a good saying:Nobles are attracted by themselves. No one wants to help someone who doesn't know anything in return. Knowing how to be grateful is the best attitude at work. A person who can drink water and think about the source and always think about giving back to others will naturally be appreciated and favored by others.
02 Harvard Business Review columnist Greg told a story. When Anna first joined the company, a female colleague often criticized her, saying that she was not careful and did not do her job properly. Whether it is doing PPT or making a summary report, as long as there is a little mistake, it will be used by colleagues to make a big fuss. Anna was also irritated by this, but she always valued her work and didn't want to be discouraged by a word or two of criticism from her colleagues. She wants to build a more positive and productive relationship with her colleagues. So, Anna began to look for something to be thankful for from her colleagues. In the beginning, it was hard to do. But then Anna realized that with a slight change in her perspective, the negative impact of this colleague on her could be turned into a positive factor. When her colleagues criticize her, Anna is grateful to her for helping her correct her mistakes and improve herself. When a colleague dislikes her for being too slow, Anna will be grateful to her colleague for at least leading her instead of carrying the burden. Over time, it became easier and easier for Anna to see the good in this colleague and began to praise her. And the colleague seems to have improved his attitude towards Anna, and although he will also point out Anna's mistakes, his words are much softer, and at the same time give reasonable advice. In this way, my colleague not only answered a lot of questions for Anna, but also became Anna's most tacit work partner. American social psychologist Abraham Maslow said: "For those who know how to be grateful, they know how to communicate with others, and when faced with conflict, they are more able to regulate themselves and others to resolve conflicts." "At work, we will inevitably encounter all kinds of contradictions and conflicts. Blaming the blame will only make the results worse. Only by being grateful and discovering the excellent aspects of others can we turn disadvantages into advantages, turn negative energy into kinetic energy, and be like a fish in water in the workplace.
