8. Rigor is not the same as being expressionless and unsympathetic

In real life and work, a rigorous attitude is necessary, but a person's facial expressions such as cordial, gentle, and full of joy are far more attractive and popular than you wear a set of high-end and luxurious clothes. Therefore, pay attention to your expression while being rigorous, be serious when you should be serious, and relax when you should be relaxed, which is the state that you should maintain as a person and do things.

Stephen is the president of a well-known company in the United States, and he is still very young. He has almost all the qualities that a successful man should have: he has a clear purpose in life, and he has the perseverance and confidence to constantly overcome difficulties and surpass himself and others; He strides forward, is resolute, does things neatly, and never procrastinates; His voice was deep and mellow, and his speech was to the point; Andβ€”

He always seemed ambitious and energetic. He is well-known for his seriousness in life and rigor in his work, and he is also very sincere to his colleagues, paying attention to fairness, and those who are close to him are proud to have such a good friend.

But those who met him for the first time did not have a good impression of him, much to the surprise of those who knew him well. Why? After careful observation, it turned out that he was too strict and had almost no expression when dealing with people.

His eyes were always blazing, his face was cold, and his lips were closed. This is true even in casual social situations. His graceful dancing on the dance floor appealed to almost all the ladies, but few danced with him. The female employees of the company are even more afraid of him when they see him, and the male employees do not support and identify with him very much. In fact, he was just missing one thing - expression. Expression is a kind of emotional thing, it can reflect your tolerance, your acceptance, your anger, your rejection, your happiness, the appropriate expression shortens the distance between you and others, so that people are connected, sincere love.

You should be enthusiastic with your colleagues, and when they need your help, you should take the initiative to talk to them, rather than stand by them. When he succeeds, you should congratulate him, greet him with a smile when you meet a colleague in any company, and think about it: what do you think when you go to the office and find that everyone is ignoring you, no one wants to talk to you, and no one is confiding in you the joys and pains of your work? Even if you're focused on your work, but an overly rigorous exterior murders the enthusiasm that those around you should have for you, and you're in a place where you spend a third of your time working with your colleagues and not many people communicating with you, will you be happy?

Rigorous attitude and style of doing things and overly rigorous expressions are two different things, only a proper distinction can make rigor a help to achieve things.
