No, you said, nothing was lost when I came home from the party that day!Wallets, mobile phones, necklaces, watches... nothing is missing, even the sunglasses that are most easily forgotten in the past, this time they are not missing! However, you did lose something. At that party, you said to A Mang: "Leave it on me! My uncle is the general manager of a big company, and their Er is recruiting talents like you, I will go and tell him, yes! "You don't have such an uncle who is the general manager. There is a neighbor in the building where you live, who is the general manager, but you are usually in front of the building. When you see him coming out of the car, call him. Greet him, call him uncle, and he will just smile at you. It's just a little contact, how can you intervene in his company's personnel affairs, and how can he easily accept your recommendation to A Mang?

You are talking big to A Mang.You lose your sincerity. Mang took your big words seriously.The next day, he sent his resume to you with the name "Yimeier". From the postscript, it can be seen that Amang is full of expectations for your commitment, and he is anxiously waiting for you or the company to give him good news. Facing Ah Mang's "Yi Meier", you are a little embarrassed. You return "Yi Meier" to A Mang.Admit it honestly, it was a drunken lie. This idea was wandering around in your mind, but you finally abandoned it.You said to A Mang in "Yi Meier", hey, what's the hurry, my uncle has gone abroad and will come back next month, and I will give you good news next month!

You went from bragging to blatant lying.You have completely lost your integrity. This kind of loss, if you pick it up consciously and in time, not only can you get others out of the fog, but you can also gain comfort and peace in your own heart. You're not a villain trying to mislead people.But since that day, your losses have followed one after another.A Mang called you and told you a news. He sent a resume to a small company. He got a reply and asked him to go for an interview. He asked you, how likely is it that your uncle will accept him?If it is more than 90%, then he will not go to that small company for an interview. "Hey, what's the harm in trying it out? Wouldn't it be better to ride a horse to find a horse?" The words were already on your lips, but you swallowed them again.You also regretted it afterwards. If Ah Mang succeeds in the interview and goes to that company, although your previous loss cannot be counted as recovery, it will finally come to an end, and you will not lose more and more.But what you said to A Mang on the phone was: "Why do you go to that small company? How shabby! The possibility of my uncle? I asked my dad to tell him too... My dad is the major shareholder... Ninety percent? More than ninety-nine!..." After turning off your phone, you feel flustered, but after drinking a cappuccino from Starbucks, you forget about it.

Your loss is getting worse and worse.The most precious thing among them is kindness. It must not be lost any longer.It's been almost a month since the party that day.Mang will definitely come to you these days and ask: Is your uncle back yet?When can you take me to see him?What should I prepare for a formal interview?Pay attention to something... You have to try to make up for everything that was lost. Yes, it's already hard.But no more hesitation, this is a necessity of life.
