Do you know what’s the best way to get what you want? SAY what you want!
A friend of mine kept complaining about work with me and our other friends. I finally asked her if she had talked to her boss about this problems. She hadn’t. Once she did, her boss told her she had no idea she felt this way and made a lot of changes to make her work a lot more enjoyable. Now my friend loves going to work!
About a month ago, I was at the movie theater and this guy in front of me wouldn’t shut up. I was really upset. I started thinking about how inconsiderate this guy was and my mind was full of angry thoughts. Finally I asked him to be quiet. He apologized and didn’t say another word for the rest of the movie. I can’t believe that I wasted 15 minutes of my life being angry when all I had to do was to speak up and say what I wanted.
Don’t complain about your spouse at work and about work when you’re at home. Talk to your spouse about what you want in your marriage and talk to your co-workers about what you want at work.
Tell your employees how you want things done. Tell your co-workers what you expect from them. Encourage them to do the same with you. Tell your clients what you need them to do to get the most out of your services. Tell the world what you want. You might as well get it!
