The Harder You Try, the Worse It Gets
你越努力,情况就变得越糟
There are people whom the harder you try to please, the less they reciprocate in kind. In fact, they treat you worse. You think to yourself, they have a bad attitude at work. And you may be right. But what can you do with your own attitude? In this case, my advice to you is to stop trying to be nice. I am not saying start being nasty.All I am advocating is to be nonchalant.
对于有些人,你越想努力使他们高兴,他们越不能以友好态度回报你。事实上,他们对你的态度反而变糟了。你在心里暗想,他们的工作态度不好。你也许是正确的,但你可以就自己的态度做些什么呢?在这种情况下,我建议你不要再努力示好。我不是说你应该开始变得让人讨厌,而是主张你要表现得若无其事。
Take a Step Back
后退一步
When you are able to detach yourself from it, you begin to see a clearer picture. Think about your attitude at work. Are you being sincere with your words and deeds?
当你抽身后退一步时,你就能开始将局面看得更清楚。思考一下你的工作态度。你平时的言行是否诚恳?你能充满愉悦地工作而不对他人有要求吗?自我反省并改进你的工作态度。当然,工作态度问题解决起来比较困难。虽然困难,但它并不是不可解决的。有些时候,我们最好从自我做起。
