Chapter 256 Thoughts from the Grill on December 21

In life, the reason why many people are in constant trouble and unable to have a peaceful, harmonious, and happy life is because they cannot let go of many things, are reluctant to give up, and cannot "get rid of their desires".We often quarrel with others because of face, break up with friends because we are unwilling to apologize, lose our pursuit of the future because of immediate interests, and miss the opportunity to accept the truth because we are obsessed with our own opinions.What's worse, we don't understand where the source of the problem is. We just complain about society, others, and fate, but we rarely reflect on ourselves and find the source of trouble and pain from ourselves.

In February 2006, Yu Minhong and two teachers from New Oriental came to Australia at the invitation of Gary, the chairman of the Australian Federation of Famous Schools. During the period, Yu Minhong and the others visited more than a dozen famous local universities and middle schools.The last stop of the itinerary is Canberra, the capital of Australia, a young city.Gary's son works in Canberra. To receive Yu Minhong, he organized a barbecue dinner in a suburban park.It turns out that the government has installed many public barbecue pits in the park, and the barbecue pits will automatically ignite as long as the switch is lightly pressed.This made Yu Minhong sigh: the Canberra Municipal Department has considered so thoughtfully, and actually set up public barbecue pits in the park, which are provided to the public for free.

Gary told Yu Minhong with a smile: In the past, the barbecue pits in the park were all paid, and there was a charging device installed in the barbecue pits, and they could only be used if money was invested in them.At that time, there were often thefts. Someone took advantage of the dead of night to pry open the barbecue pit and steal the money inside.The government has thought of many ways to crack down, but none of them can stop the theft from happening.Every year, the cost of maintaining the grill is a considerable expense. Later, the government decided to provide the grill to the public for free.Since then, no grill has been visited by thieves.

The barbecue grill in Canberra aroused Yu Minhong's emotion and reminded him of the topic of good and evil in human nature. "It seems that human nature is similar, and it doesn't necessarily mean that the citizens of developed countries are more noble. Australia used to be a place where British prisoners were exiled, but now the order here is not entirely because of the high morals of the citizens, but because Well managed." How to manage employees well is a difficult problem faced by many enterprises.To manage employees well requires the adjustment of the internal environment, a sound institutional system, and a benign corporate culture.
