Chapter 65 Familiar with his work and give him help

If you don't have the relevant knowledge and can't understand well, although you can't do some more professional things for him, you can still help.Because as long as you want to be his good partner, you will have a deeper understanding of his work, thereby enhancing your endurance to understand him. One morning, the passengers on a bus stretched their necks.A petite, stylishly dressed lady jumped into the car with a shotgun slung over her shoulder! Passengers sat in their seats wondering, is this an advertising stunt, or a superwoman?Eventually, the woman arrives at the station, grabs her weapon and jumps out of the car.

The driver on the bus was relieved at this moment.Who is this lady?Her name is Eli Fisher.The scene in the car shows her helping one of her husband's customers by returning a shotgun purchased on credit to the store. Her family lived at 9 Mount Ladeau, St. Louis, Missouri, and her husband, Mel Fisher, was a successful salesman for an appliance company.He jokingly calls his wife "My Friday" because she always finds ways to help him with his work. "My husband is passionate about his work, eating, sleeping and even breathing, and I naturally share this enthusiasm. I have tried to help him in every way for 25 years, and I still enjoy doing these things today!"

In order to allow her husband to devote all his energy to the development of the business, the lady tried not to let him worry about trivial matters.She believed that when her husband was freed from these chores, he would be able to focus better and reach his highest potential. Her husband always has a lot of letters to take home every day to deal with, so she started to learn to type.She also learned to drive a car, because her husband's business area is very large, covering more than 30 states, and it is very tiring to drive alone.She once said: "I had such an experience, that time from Thames Square to the Golden Gate, I drove it, so that Mel could sleep in the car."

It's her hobbies, and she cooperates with her husband's work.For example, collecting old irons, among which there are old irons from 150 years ago.When holding a goods exhibition, displaying these items will definitely get good results. It is precisely because she has personally participated in her husband's career that they will enjoy a greater sense of accomplishment in his success.At a recent sales meeting in Tennessee, after Mr. Fisher had finished speaking, an audience member said, "I don't know who's going to be most interested in your talk tonight. Is it your wife or the salesman?"

If his wife listens eagerly to what he has to say, it is an excellent advertisement.No wonder Mrs. Fisher became her husband's spiritual support. Sadly, most women don't want to do what Mrs. Fisher did.They often say something like: "What is his secretary hired for?" Or: "If the company can pay me, of course I will be his assistant. But by then, he can already be as happy as I am." Take care of your work!" Good thing it's their husband's business, not mine.However, sometimes the extra help from the wife can really push the man to go faster and more steadily.

As for how you can help your husband, it depends on the nature of his job.Maybe he needs you to help him answer the phone, drive for him, or handle letters, write reports, or find information for him... In short, you can reduce his burden and use his energy on more valuable work.If you would like to help your husband in these areas but don't know where to start, ask him to tell you. Of course, a woman is already busy enough to do housework and take care of children. It is obviously not easy to find time to help her husband and become his "Friday".However, there are such people in life, they do the housework well, and they help their husband.Because they have such an incentive to give their husbands extra support.

One example is Peter Atat, who lives at 108 72nd Street in Ferris Hill, New York.After the Second World War, the young Peter Atat retired home and founded Astor Lemon New Automobile Service Company, his capital was 800 yuan and a car. When all the taxi companies get too busy, someone hires Peter's car.Because of his good service, the business gradually opened up.But he couldn't drive and answer the phone at the same time, so his wife, Rose, offered to let her answer the phone, as long as he agreed to install a business telephone extension in the house.After the phone was installed, Rose took up the job of contacting the business.

Now that Peter's business is booming, he needs to hire a driver.Still, Rose answered the phone when he was out.In addition, she has to take care of three small children and do all the housework.Peter said: "No matter how much money I spend, I can't get a service like Rose's. Rose is as familiar with the names and addresses of regular customers as I am. At the same time, she is still in contact with them, and she gets A lot of fun. They trust Rose's honesty that she doesn't try to hold them up when I'm out on a long drive, and if I'm really not available, she often calls them other taxi companies. For me , she is an indispensable right-hand man."

Rose said: "When her husband is busy, no one is too busy to help him. If she really wants to help him, she can arrange housework as efficiently as I do, and spend the rest of the time Do me a favor." If you don't need to take care of the children at home, you can go to the husband's office and help him more carefully. That is what Mrs. Bella Burroughs did, of 33 East Street, New York, whose husband was a well-known physician.On one occasion, due to the lack of a secretary, she temporarily represented the work.She did a fantastic job, it looks like she's been in that position for a long time.She always finishes housework in the morning and helps her husband with work in the afternoon.

Her husband said: "For Ruth, this is more than just a job. She cares as much as I do about the health of every patient who needs to be seen by me." In fact, anything a wife does for her husband's career is an extra help.Not only at work, but also in life, the common care will make them more closely bonded.How can a wife not do her best to help her husband. Those "Friday" wives who lighten the workload of many successful men. Before the publication of the novel by the British writer Trolup, no one read or criticized a single word, only his wife read it. He said: "Her appreciation has given me the greatest benefit."

The French writer Daudet originally had concerns about marriage, worrying that his imagination would become dull, but later he met Julie, and his thoughts changed.His best works were written after he married Julie.Julie has extraordinary taste, so Dude attaches great importance to her opinion.His brother recalled: "Every time Daudet wrote a manuscript, he had to be retouched and revised by Julie." Blind at the age of 17, Harper began studying natural history with the encouragement of his wife.His wife aided him in his studies with her eyesight and observations, which finally made Harper a great naturalist and authority on bees. Of course, if you don't have a corresponding understanding and appreciation for your husband's work, it is impossible to want to help him.The more you know, the more you can help him. If you don't have the relevant knowledge and can't understand well, although you can't do some more professional things for him, you can still help.Because as long as you want to be his good partner, you will have a deeper understanding of his work, thereby enhancing your endurance to understand him. What Every Woman Knows is a comedy by Sir James Matthew Gerry, in which there is a scene in which the heroine, Maggie Velie, sleeps with some books under her arm as her fiancé is Study law books."I know what he knows," she said to her brother. What a wife knows about her husband's work has been found to have a strong influence on her husband's career.The corporate world is trying to equip the wives of employees with that common sense knowledge. In the past, it was not easy for a large company to let the wife of an employee know more about his work than her work unit.Now, the situation has changed and the "company ladies" are being bombarded with information in different ways: brochures, lectures, films, magazines of all kinds... "Fortune Star" magazine quoted Mr. Desley, the general manager of Du Liber Tea Cup Company, as saying that he planned to issue a batch of company business brochures to the wives of the employees every two months.He believes: "As long as they read these brochures, they will be interested in the company's business." Those wives who are "interested in the business of the company" will be her husband's and the company's most important allies. A machinery manufacturing factory in Oerlikon, Switzerland arranged such an event. They let the wives of the staff visit the entire factory manufacturing process and explained various issues to them.The factory operators have found this to be an effective measure, and they have often been able to get good advice from the wives. In the United States, too, many companies have opened their doors to women, and have had good results.During a visit sponsored by a Midwestern appliance manufacturer, a wife had an idea after watching her husband work at a machine.In the evening she asked her husband why his machine needed a foot pedal instead of a lever that swung overhead—it would save unnecessary movement and save a lot of time.The husband took this advice to his boss.Her vision came true, and as a result, his labor efficiency increased by 20%, and the other harvest was that the idea brought him a $350 bonus. Since a husband spends most of his time at work, a wife should care about his career, and when necessary, devote energy and labor to him, because this will not only help her husband succeed, but also She also got the right to share in her success. Whenever I read an immortal literary masterpiece, I can't help thinking that Mrs. Tolstoy copied this work seven times with her own hands!She is worthy of old Mr. Tolstoy's "Friday"! If you want to give your husband some help in his career, then do this: 1.Get as familiar with his work as you can. 2.Do your best to give him the help he needs, because any help will make his job go more smoothly.
