Near the end of the year, the manager asked our department to prepare a dance for the New Year's Spring Festival gala to celebrate, but also to participate in the competition. We do not want to sign up, who do not want to perform, said they do not have dance skills, will not dance. Finally, the manager named the designated, shouted to who, must go on, no excuses. As a result, six of us were selected. I thought, rather than dilly-dallying on stage and squirming, I'd better actively prepare and practice. We looked for dance videos on the computer to provide alternatives. We prepared a couple of modern dances that felt elegant and were ready to practice. The manager came to find out what was going on and vetoed the option, saying that the party was buzzing with activity and that this dance was too quiet, and that you, the non-professionals, would be drowned out.
The manager asked that the dance music be upbeat and loud, and that the joyfulness fit the theme of the Spring Festival Gala. Later we were assigned a square dance. The music can be put into the super loud, as long as the dance steps neatly look very powerful kind of. We didn't have much time to practice, so what did we do? Dance. I was in charge of learning the video and teaching it to them. I worked really hard to learn the dance as quickly as possible, and then after work we rehearsed together, and we all worked really hard on the music and practiced the moves. This was our agreement. We made a pact with our manager, and we made a pact with ourselves. Although the time is very tight, but we seize the time to fully prepare, make-up, dance clothes with all aspects of the appropriate, in the scene performance super level play, won the third prize.
It turns out that the agreement with the leader can be so full of meaning, not simply understood as the completion of a superior accounted for the task, that's all. This will make us in order to excel in the completion of the agreement to go to work harder, to do the best of themselves. A sense of responsibility is born. When it is achieved, one becomes happy.
Grandpa's house was literally a zoo, having had cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, pigs, turtles and birds. These animals have the same batch of two-two combinations appeared, such as raising a cat by the way to raise a dog, raising chickens by the way to raise a flock of ducks, raising turtles by the way to raise a few birds. There are also groups of three or two, such as raising a pig at the same time as raising chickens and ducks. What's more, the transitional stages appeared together at the same time. Grandma was going crazy, and she was not a good-tempered person, muttering from morning to night, loud and clear, and the next-door neighbors knew it. I couldn't stand living in their house for a few days, and it was hard for Grandpa to suffer for the rest of his life. Later on, there was no other way, and I couldn't argue with Grandma, so I was only allowed to keep one thing, and in the end the only thing left was to keep the birds for fun. Grandpa, in addition to going to work, after work, grocery shopping and cooking, the rest of the time he likes to tease the birds, take the birds for walks, go to the park and sing. He raised a parrot for several years will imitate people's speech, the neighbors especially like to tease it to play, and then was stolen is also saddening.
Grandpa seems to be an unsmiling, unromantic person to modern people, but he always insisted on guarding his own side of the net in these ordinary days, raising birds, taking good care of them, and releasing them when the time was ripe. That's why Grandpa's heart was extraordinarily soft and his character was gentle and kind. We can also guard our own important small things, perhaps once a person has a sense of mission, the meaning of life will be unusual.
To give life a little spice, in the ordinary days to create surprise. When my mom married my dad, life was still the same as it was in the days of the masses, when we needed food stamps, meat stamps, and cloth stamps for everything. Mom said that at first the family only had a sewing machine, a Phoenix bicycle and a flashlight, which were called the "three big things" at that time, and were considered to be very decent household appliances. After a few years, mom and dad quarreled and said, "I have nothing to marry you, so what do I want?" Which know that afternoon dad ran to the department store to the family added Simmons, refrigerators, sofas, televisions and other household items, to the mother happy yo. It was really a big surprise. So much so that later mom mentioned this thing when still full of spring.
Yes, on weekdays to create some small surprises, unexpected, will make people feel warm. For example, in a long time no see WeChat group to send a blessing red packet, regardless of the amount of money, let a person feel warm heart; to a friend in a distant place to make a phone call, greetings, nagging daily, so that each other know that although not often contact, but the heart is still there each other; travel back to the love of a small gift, even if it is the local products, let TA know that you love TA. all these small surprises let a person touched, life is so beautiful.
When I first started working, the leadership arranged a master for me. Master is a woman, big eyes, willow leaf brow, very like to laugh, a smile up face shows two deep dimples, or a mother-to-be, wearing the company's special clothing for pregnant women. Master is an acute, bright personality, the first day of work, she let me take a notebook behind her to take notes, learn the company's system steps. She said a sentence, let me write down a sentence in the book, and said to me, I tell you how to operate, you first write down, and then do not understand to ask. I nodded frequently, and felt that this master is beautiful and kind-hearted, very happy.
After a few months, the master went to give birth to a child, and I did not have a special inquiry object. The other colleagues in the company became my master, I would run to ask everyone. At first, it was okay, and then asked more often, people began to me a little bit of opinion. A coworker who came with me would not be criticized. She told me: "You do not run to ask everyone, everyone is very busy, have their own things to deal with. They are not your relatives or family members and are not obliged to help you with anything you encounter at work. You must first learn to think independently. Do you know why I can catch on so quickly? Because I always check the information in private, I think about it myself, and if I really don't understand, I will ask again, so that others are also happy to answer you." It's really a wake-up call. Think about yourself, indeed, in the work of what problems encountered on the shouting master, thinking that anyway, there is a master cover is not afraid. Thanks to the master has a good nature. Now the master vacation. I realized, in fact, I asked a lot of questions are repetitive, did not go through their own thinking, of course, the impression is not deep. Then I began to learn to think about solving some problems by myself and try to operate by myself. Later I realized that this way people would instead be willing to take the initiative to help me.
When we encounter things, we first think independently, and in fact there are many problems that can be solved by thinking on your own. When really can not solve the problem and then ask the people around, they will be very happy to help you, because you are a person with the ability to think. Instead of just being a reacher. Anyone who is bent on bothering others and trying to reap unconditional rewards, even if it helps once or twice, it can't help forever.
Life is a cup of water, what you add to it, it is what flavor. Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, each have tasted. But we all want to add a little more sugar in the plain life, create more surprises, live an ordinary life, live a different self.
