Smiles / 笑容


My ever first name card.

In physiology, a smile is a a facial expression formed by flexing those muscles most notably near both ends of the mouth. Among humans, it is customarily an expression denoting pleasure, happiness or amusement, and can also be an involuntary expression of anxiety. Besides that, i found another few more types of smile in my working atmosphere that containing different meanings.

A smile with expectation can always found from your superior or senior when they pass or ask you to handle a little tiny task. Once you have successfully done your jobs, a smile that showing a grateful expression can also be found from them. I think superiors wish their subordinates could help and lessen them the burden. A smile from your superior after a completed task could real push you forwards and achieve higher.

I bet no one like the smile that hidden a sword behind (literally translated from Chinese, 笑里藏刀). Mind you, dont be so naive until you thoroughly trust and appreciate what your co-worker have nicely done everything for you. He/she may have done so with another purposes. This is the biggest lesson i have ever learned so far. Also, apart of doing your own stuff correctly, you have to watch out and make sure you wont fall into the trap in front of you. Even a small mistake may simply spoil your name. Anyhow, even if you are in trouble, dont be panic-stricken but admit your mistake (even it is a trap) directly to your superior. You may get scolded but at least it is worth to see the picture clearly after that.

It is not easy to earn a smile that denoting respect from your workers. They would always have complaints towards their works. Unless you are a good leader having a good interpersonal skill, your workers will willingly follow your command and complete the work for you. The smile of respect can also be found around the eyes. Thus, eyes contact is also one very important element. It is nothing but motivation, no matter how tired i am, whenever i see them smile at me happily after a task has completed, it boosts me up just like the caffeine of cup of coffee. I appreciate their priceless smiles that real make my days.

To be frank, this is only my first month working in this company, in the construction field. I dont mind living up the 8am to 8pm lifestyle temporarily. I am still learning hard at the job site while attending the construction safety course at night. I give myself couples of months to get to know the job, see whether if i could get used to it. Meanwhile, i have to value the current working lifestyle despite the average high salary compared with others. All work and no play makes FuFu a dull boy, so i chase for a balance between my career and life. I miss the days i used to spend on blogging, sorry for not being able to write more often, pardon me for a while ok? I will make the right decision very soon. Just give let me consider every aspect thoroughly.

工作了刚好一个月。拿了我平生第一次工作的薪水。答应过会每个星期都上来招待我的网友们，但因为工作的繁忙我真的无法实现我的承诺。我打算和大家分享一下我的一些心得，我发现到我的办公室里充满笑容，可惜每个笑容都含有不同的意义。

先讲上司吧，每当他把一些事情交给我处理的时候，他都会很细心的交代或吩咐，充满希望的期待我会把事办好。如果我真的可以帮到忙，他们的工作量就会大大的减少。工作最高心的一幕不是领薪水的那一天而是被老板或上司赞赏，或自己所付出过的努力被敲定。看着上司脸上的笑容，还有最重要的就是从他的笑容里头，我充分地感觉到我的存在很重要。我要做好本份，日后成为他的左右手。

同事的笑简直可以说是笑里藏刀。表面上，他们的却笑得很灿烂，但是我们永远不知道那笑容的背后的葫芦到底装了什么东西。我很后悔没有听朋友的劝告，就是没有要和同事保持距离。人心难测，要随时随地的打醒十二分精神。幸好我平时都会把自己所做过的文件保存起来。那天我要早离开公司去上课，就吩咐他把一些数值填好。谁知第二天我把那个档案开来看昨天的资料有一半的数值不见掉了。我慢慢的把当天的一幕都给想起，把他之前所帮过我的画面连在一起分析。虽然我没有证据，但我对这个人已有了防备。

其他部门的同事不是每个都很冷淡，有些很友善的呢。有一位女同事还亲自的向我介绍她自己。可能因为我去过菲律宾，我其他部门的菲律宾人沟通是自然就会多了个话题，那就是当地文化，佳肴，语言，建筑物，交通，人等等。他们的笑都是感激我对他们的国家有认识。

我下属的笑容永远都是那么地含有推动力。只要你的领导方式好，他们一定会服你。我的下属们虽然没受过什么教育，但是他们的智慧无人能比，他们的心比谁都要真纯，他们的工作态度比谁都还来得认真。老实的说，我是没有什么工作经验，但他们从来没有看不起我这个小白老虎。很有耐心的教我和听我的指示。此外他们还叫我泰语。他们的笑容带有真诚的尊敬。每当我看见他们对着我那么的笑，无论有多辛苦，我都不在乎了。有时还和他们一起把工作做好。他们的笑容可以帮我挡那些藏着刀的笑。
