If you help others, you can also make a profit
It is impossible for a person who only cares about sweeping the snow in front of his own door, who cares about the frost on others, and regards helping others as "asking for trouble" and "asking for hardship" is impossible to have friends.
One of the magic weapons to expand interpersonal relationships is to take the initiative to extend a warm hand to help and care for others, because our help can not only help others, but also bring strength and confidence to the other party, so that they have greater courage to overcome difficulties. Maybe this is just a gesture for you, but it may really be a relief for others, in this way, others will have "the grace of a drop of water, when the spring reciprocates" gratitude. Li Chen is a very young lawyer, smart and hardworking, and after a few years of work, he set up a law firm in Beijing. Thanks to Li Chen's efforts, his law firm began to gain fame in the local area, and wealth followed, with offices expanding and the company's staff increasing.
But when the stock was in a bull market, Li Chen, like many stockholders, was obsessed with stock speculation, and invested all his assets in a thought, and finally almost lost everything. And what is even more unfortunate is that at this time, the law firm was in trouble in a major case, owed a large amount of debt, and he had to sell the RV to pay off the debt, and finally closed the law firm.
Li Chen suddenly returned to the point of having nothing, and just when he was worried about his livelihood, he unexpectedly received a letter from the president of the company. The letter said that he was willing to give him 50 percent of the company's shares free of charge, and that his two companies welcomed him as a lifelong legal representative at any time.
At that time, Li Chen couldn't believe his eyes, how could there be such a good thing in the world? He decided to find out, he found the very grand company according to the address on the envelope, and the president of the company who received him was the president, but Li Chen didn't know him.
The president didn't say anything, just took out a crumpled 5 yuan money order and a business card with Li Chen's name and address from the huge office drawer, Li Chen still didn't remember what was going on.
The president said: "Five years ago, I came to Beijing and was going to apply for a card with only 5 yuan on my body, but I didn't know that the handling fee had risen to 10 yuan. If I didn't get the card that day, then my position in the company would be topped by someone else, and at this time, you handed over 5 yuan from behind, and I asked you to leave your name and address so that you could return the money in the future, so you left this business card......"
Li Chen remembered the incident in a trance, and asked, "What about later?" ”
"Soon after, I applied for two patents in a row in this company, and my career developed, and I wanted to double the money to you, but I thought that after coming to Beijing, I experienced so many hardships and cold treatments in my work and life, and it was your 5 yuan that changed my attitude towards life and society, how could I give this 5 yuan away easily? Now, I think it's exactly when you need it, and it's my chance to pay it back. This story seems to contain a lot of contingency, but there must be a lot of inevitability in the accident. At the beginning, it was Li Chen who helped others with 5 yuan, and 5 years later, when he encountered difficulties himself, he also received favors from others. This kind of reward is not so much a gift from God, but rather a good cause that Li Chen planted in the first place, and a person with a good heart and good deeds should be rewarded.
In other words, when you help others, you are actually helping yourself. Xiao Wang received a call saying that his wife was about to give birth, and he jumped into the company's broken car and rushed out. "The car can't climb the hill!" A colleague shouted from behind. It turned out that Xiao Wang needed to cross a hill to go home, and the hill was very steep, and the company's car was too old.
Xiao Wang stepped on the accelerator and said, "I can't help it, I have to try it." ”
Sure enough, as soon as I started climbing, the car couldn't bear it, but I was still able to go up slowly. Seeing that he was about to rush up, a man with a wooden box came to stop the car: "Can you give me a ride?" The box was too heavy. ”
Xiao Wang didn't even pay attention to him, he thought to himself: "I may not be able to get by?" At that moment, the car stopped, no matter how much he pressed the accelerator, to no avail, and began to slide down.
Xiao Wang simply retreated, ready to sprint again. This time the car actually climbed up slowly, Xiao Wang breathed a sigh of relief, he was excited, but he saw the person who stopped the car just now from the rearview mirror, and Xiao Wang's face immediately turned red.
Xiao Wang turned around and said embarrassedly, "You helped me just now?" ”
"Well, you...... Can you give me a ride, I'm in a hurry to help deliver the baby! ”
It turned out that the person who stopped his car was the doctor who was going to deliver his wife. As the saying goes: "Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river." "The world is impermanent, no one knows who will need help in the future, it is convenient for others, convenient for yourself, why not do it?
Eb. Hubbard said, "Wise people understand that the only way to help themselves is to help others." "Yes, many people have a feeling of not knowing where to start when building and expanding their network, in fact, as long as you are willing to lend your warm hand when others need help, then your network will become wider and wider.
