Chapter 91 Tip 81 Let them savor the joy of helping others
Susan Evans is my client, she owns a large real estate company.Once, we were in her office discussing an upcoming project, and the secretary said over the intercom, "Excuse me, Miss Evans, your brother-in-law is calling."
"Oh, yes," she smiled, "take him over." Susan apologized and picked up the phone.I got up and left her office so as not to invade her privacy.
When I got back, Susan was about to hang up when I heard her say, "Sure, tell him to call me." Susan told me that her brother-in-law had a younger cousin who worked at a gas station, a young man I really want to learn about real estate. "The lad will call me and I'll see if there's anything I can do to help him." Apparently Susan felt happy helping her brother-in-law.So we went back to the previous case.
In less than 5 minutes, the secretary pressed the intercom again, "Miss Evans, a Sonny Lake is calling. He said he is your brother-in-law's cousin. Someone asked him to call you." Susan was a little surprised.I could tell she was thinking, "Wow, my overzealous brother-in-law doesn't waste any time." The whole situation was clear: Susan's brother-in-law, Harry, must have been overexcited and in a hurry to call his cousin Sonny, tell him the great news: Susan Evans has agreed to see him!Sonny immediately called halfway through without saying a word, and seemed to regard the interview as the first priority in his boring life.
A friend may promise to help you, let the generous him enjoy the joy of helping others, and then ask him to pay the price. How long will it take?At least 24 hours.
In any case, it was obvious that the little cousin had violated the principle of non-disobedience adhered to by the great man: when someone promises to help, don't approach him immediately.Let the other party have time to savor the joy of agreeing to others, and then ask him to take action and draw his sword to help. The brother-in-law and younger cousin violated Susan's taboo, all because of bad timing.Harry should tell his cousin the next day, in case the young man harassed Susan, a busy real estate mogul.And Sonny should have asked Harry first what Susan's schedule was like.Sometimes it is helpful to call back right away, but don't be too impatient when someone offers to help. Now, let's look at another thread that runs between the helper and the recipient. If this thread is severed, the relationship between the two parties will also be damaged.
