Ask someone who doesn't like you

My vocational school classmate, Gang Zi, was not good at school at that time. He took the college entrance examination twice before he could barely get into a second-rate university, majoring in computer science. After graduation, I worked in a computer company, but felt that I could not fulfill my ambition, so I simply jumped out on my own.

When the first graduation five-year party, he is wearing ordinary work clothes to come, he is the last one to come, a glass of wine, the number of life bitter, sigh the world is impermanent, because of the hardships of life, even a girlfriend did not mix.

At our second five-year reunion, he showed up smartly dressed. Five years, from an unknown small role, to become the executive vice president of a machinery company, the speed of jumping the dragon gate is really amazing, he now has an annual salary of more than one million, but also become the authority of the industry technology.

Several of us, who had been obsessed with him in high school but were now content with mediocrity, pressed him for the key to success. Gangzi told us his career story:

He is a computer major, but in a machinery company fell down, the original shy heart immersed down, he thought of first to support the family, and then wait for another career.

Computer students, are arranged to the workshop as maintenance workers, two eyes a dark, nothing?

Several senior old engineers, used to overbearing in daily life, did not put him in the eyes, hard work, and technology can not touch the edge, half a year down, people thin black, grinding out cocoon, skills have not improved at all.

Gangzi was inept at words and not good at communicating with people, and looked around at several apprentices who had graduated, and some of them had already taken up the position of department manager.

Once unloading the mold, the engineer let him go to open the switch of the crane, he looked for a long time also did not find, had to ask a worker next to the head, the other happily helped him. That night, he had an Epiphany, and from then on, he learned to ask for advice.

To consult those who like themselves, but also to consult those who do not like themselves, this is also a good way of communication.

And it worked. Because of diligent learning and good questions, the old master began to like him, because of a good talent, coupled with the point, his skills improve quickly, in a raid operation, because of the way to solve the big failure, unexpectedly got the appreciation of the company's leaders.

He developed a modest and inquiring style, and at night, he wrote down all the answers he asked in his diary, and in two years, he made more than two thousand pages of technical notes alone.

A deputy general manager of the company, who is doing quality work, felt that he was overconfident and incompetent, deliberately difficult him, gave him a difficult problem, and asked him to complete the maintenance of the inspection device within one day. The machines imported from abroad, the Sky's the Limit, are every time the senior engineers invited from Hong Kong at great expense.

Gangz did not ignore, in front of the machine for three days and three nights, an English-Chinese dictionary into "ten thousand peach blossom open", and finally figured out the source of the problem, but there are some quality parameters do not understand, only the quality vice president master this knowledge and experience.

Gangzi bought a bottle of Erguotou, and broke into the dormitory of the vice president of quality alone at night. Each half a bottle, after drinking, then opened the box. Within a week, Gangzi completed the repair work of this imported equipment "for the first time", and the impossible became possible.

Not only that, the quality vice president who did not like him actually suggested to the leadership to promote Gangzi: modest and prudent, diligent and inquiring, is an indispensable talent of the company.

Gangzi when the vice president at the beginning, will not encounter the problem to consult the boss, or to consult the outgoing vice president, was a competitor, the outgoing vice president unexpectedly and Gangzi became a good friend, every New Year festival, the two sides are very close.

After the story of Gangzi is told, there is not much ready-made experience for us to paste. But the story revealed in the hollow, diligent learning and inquiring is our workplace people's shortcomings. Self-reliance is high, do not put everyone in the eyes, high eyes are low, it is a common problem in the workplace, to ask people who do not like their own advice, is not only a noble virtue, but also a person's secret to success.
