經典短篇故事:《留點漏洞給別人!》


老公換了新工作,住房就在公司宿舍六樓。沒有電梯,搬家那天,我們扛著行李爬樓梯。


樓道很乾淨,每層拐角處都放著一個垃圾筒,上面連一點汙漬都沒有。看來這裡的清潔工很敬業。


再看垃圾筒裡面,我的好印象瞬間打了折扣,裡面放的大多是空飲料瓶。把這種可回收資源扔進垃圾筒,既浪費又不環保,送到廢品收購處還能換幾瓶飲料錢呢。


等到打開房門,又被屋裡的情形驚呆了,只見屋裡到處都散落著空飲料瓶。看來這個房間的前主人喜歡喝飲料卻懶得打掃。


這些飲料瓶,整整裝了兩大塑料袋。第二天早上老公去上班,我拎著塑料袋下樓,打算送到廢品收購站去。


樓道還和昨天一樣乾淨,欄杆剛擦過,垃圾筒也都清空了。走到三樓,兩個女孩一人拎著兩個空飲料瓶扔進垃圾筒。


The day that you see me old and I am already not, have patience and try to understand me … If I get dirty when eating… if I cannot dress… have patience. Remember the hours I spent teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you,I repeat the same things thousand and one times… Do not interrupt me… listen to me When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you get to sleep… When I do not want to have a shower,neither shame me nor scold me…
Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I invented, in order that you wanted to bath… When you see my ignorance on new technologies… give me the necessary time and not look at me with your mocking smile… I taught you how to do so many things… to eat good, to dress well… to confront life… When at some moment I lose the memory or the thread of our conversation… let me have the necessary time to remember… and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous…  as the most important thing is not my conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me…

她們見我拎著裝滿空飲料瓶的袋子下樓去,眼裡露出一絲驚訝。


兩袋塑料瓶換回十幾塊錢,老公下班後,我把這事講給他聽,還憤憤地指責亂丟飲料瓶的人太懶。


老公卻說:“你知道他們為什麼把飲料瓶放進垃圾筒嗎?”


老公說,那些飲料瓶是清潔工的一筆隱形收入,把它們放進垃圾筒是為了讓清潔工撿啊。他們才更珍惜這份工作,努力把工作做到最好。當初大樓的清潔工換了很多,可衛生狀況一直不好。最後大家想到這個主意,衛生狀況才徹底改善。


老公意味深長地說:“留點漏洞,讓別人也有利可圖,這樣才能合作共贏啊!”


我慢慢地回過味來。確實,人與人交往都不必太精明,小事糊塗,關係才會更融洽。


商場上,留點漏洞給合作伙伴,大家都有利可圖,合作關係才會更牢固;


職場上,留點漏洞給下屬或同事,讓他們也有發光的機會,團隊才會越來越強大;


生活中,留點漏洞給鄰居和朋友,讓他們有好處可得,才會和你越走越近,在你需要幫助時伸出援助之手。


雖一件簡單的小事,細細品來,這是一種社交智慧,更是一種人生哲學。
