All right. This is a very bad world. I don't like it, seriously. The thing is, i can't really change what i am now so i might as well continue going on. As many of my friends told me that.."zuo ren hao nan..", well, its damn right. The worse position i can ever think of is being a middle man. If you are nice to the workers, they will start to slack because they think that you are friendly. As a result, the production becomes slower and your boss is not happy. Your boss starts to yell at you and blame you for not managing the workers well. You start to stress out and become stricter towards your workers. They become angry with you and start to gossip about you. How? Its a lose - lose situation. It is almost impossible to make everybody around you happy.
Another bad situation. Some people just refuse to listen to the truth. I know that the truth may be very bad but you just have to accept it. Then there are people who tell lies, words that are nice to hear but is actually wrong. This is called...Poh. Or bootlicking. Many people like this kind of life form. Another type is called hack-care. No matter what you ask him or her, their replies will be, "dono", "don ask me", "not my business". Of course. Look at the society now. Most people prefer bootlicker. There are people who really don't know and there are people who says don't know just to avoid trouble or giving wrong infor. Imagine a boss came into a room.
Boss:"how is my shirt today?"
A:"omg..its so nice..really match your pants!. wow..its fantastic!!"
B:" erm..ok ok la..i dono.
C:"your shirt does not match your pants. It looks very weird. A combination of blue and green is not nice so you should change your shirt to white."
Dumbest:"its sucks.. you might as well don wear. You really look like a clown you know. LOL...HAHAHAHAHA."
The boss sack 3 of them in this manner. First is D, then C, then B. A won. The boss likes A because everything A says is nice and sweet but is totally wrong.
AS A RESULT. The boss went around the exhibition hall with a trail of people laughing behind him. He turned to his worker, A and asked if he really looks awful.
A:"No No...not at all. You are the best. You look so handsome today man...They are laughing because they are jealous of your good looks!!"
So..its really up to you to think. If you always scold or becomes sad when somebody tells you the truth, then people around you will learn from it and will therefore keep quiet or tell lies. "I know its really painful when somebody points out your mistakes. You tend to argue bad or give excuses or even hate that person. But hey...he can choose to keep quiet and let you repeat your mistake again and again. So... Accept it and learn and not argue back that you are right.
I can't always preach what i said because because of my human nature and ego. It really takes time and effort to become a better person. Are you prepare to do this?
