Don't be perfect in your dealings with people

When a friend goes to great lengths to help you do something, if you don't even say thank you, then your friend's disappointment can be imagined. Even if, for some reason, a friend doesn't help you do what you were asked to do, you should be sincerely grateful. Otherwise, if you have to ask for others, even if you can, I'm afraid your friends won't want to do more. Zhao Xu has been working in Beijing after graduation, and one year he was going back to his hometown for the Spring Festival, but he had temporary work tasks at that time and couldn't spare time to book train tickets. So, he entrusted his friend Zhang Bin to buy train tickets for him, Zhang Bin was also very righteous, and immediately ran to the train station and queued up for a long time, but the tickets were sold out.

After Zhao Xu knew that Zhang Bin didn't buy a train ticket, not only did he not even say a word of thanks, but his face was very ugly, thinking that Zhang Bin didn't do his best to do this for himself and delayed his trip.

Later, Zhao Xu asked Zhang Bin for something else, but Zhang Bin always found excuses to shirk, and their relationship gradually faded. When we ask someone to do something, many people may have this mentality: the other party helps them do things, and if it is done, then it is natural to thank the other party; If things don't work out, you don't have to thank the other person, and you may even blame the other person.

As everyone knows, the other party didn't help you get things done, maybe due to some objective reasons, but he has done his best. And your thank you is an affirmation of his dedication, which can not only maintain the original friendship, but also lay the foundation for the next interaction. There was once an employee who had been working in the mountains, and due to the humid climate in the mountains, he suffered from rheumatoid arthritis, which was very painful, so he wanted to apply for transfer. The employee told a friend at the head office about the matter, who had no real power at the time, and although it took a lot of effort, he still couldn't get the thing done.

The employee didn't blame him for this, but found a way to bring him some local products from the mountains to express his gratitude.

Once when I went to the head office, the employee specially invited this friend to have a meal, and said sincerely: "That incident has caused you a lot of trouble, thank you." This friend was also very touched by his actions and never forgot about him. Later, this friend became the general manager and soon transferred him out of the mountains. Let's imagine that if this employee was a snob, and he didn't appreciate his friend when he didn't get things done, then his transfer would definitely be in vain.

It can be seen that when we make friends and do things, we should not be too demanding of perfection, your friends are not immortals with boundless power, how can we guarantee that what you ask for will be done? Although the matter was not done, the other party also paid hard work and labor. If you don't even say thank you, then it is equivalent to ending your relationship, and he will definitely not help you again.
