In The Workplace, We Must Stride Across The "Height That Can Not Be Crossed".

Six years ago, a friend went down south.

I wrote a letter of recommendation to the chief engineer of a telecommunications company and asked my friend to make an appointment for a time interview.

Unexpectedly, she said she had never been a supervisor in such a large telecommunications company, I'm afraid.

She first sent a resume to several household units, and waited for half a month, but no news was found. Then, she went to a district level talent market or employment agency, and met several family members.

Finally, she telephoned the chief engineer of the telecommunications company. The chief engineer's secretary answered the phone and asked, "may I ask whom you are looking for?" she replied, "please find the rest."

The Secretary said, "sorry, Yu is in a meeting. May I leave your message?" she felt embarrassed to leave a message.

A week later, I told her a story about fleas: someone has done such an experiment: putting a flea into a glass, we can see that the height of the flea can usually reach 400 times that of its body, and if the height is increased, fleas will not jump out.

But when you take an alcohol lamp to the bottom of the cup and the flea is too hot to bear, it will bang up and jump out.

As in the art of war, "put to death and live".

My friend soon realized that when she went to work on the second day, she called Yu Yu, and the Secretary answered the phone. But she called on Yu's name, and the secretary did not dare to neglect it.

Now my friend has become the director of the design room of the company.

Yu always said to me, "I really should thank you. The colleague you introduced to our company is honest, competent and fastest growing."

In fact, many of us are repeating this "flea life": psychologically, it acquiesced in a height of "not to be crossed" and willing to endure the life of a loser.
