Many people have forgetfulness (健忘). And, yes, I was one of those forgetful people before. So I've had to develop some kinds of ways to improve it.
How do you know you are forgetful?
You know it: when people ask whether you've found the answers they wanted, but you can't recall them; if you often have trouble remembering where your keys are, or where you have parked your car in the parking lot; if you miss appointments (约定); or if you can never remember a person's name even a few seconds after being introduced.
The following are some of my tips for fighting with forgetfulness.
Can't find the keys. Right now get a small bowl (碗) and set it on a table in your kitchen. When you come back home, always put your keys in this bowl. The "key" to remembering where your keys are is to always put them back in the same place at once ever}r time you come back home.
Can't find your car in the parking lot. I kept running into this problem until one day I solved it quite simply. Now I always park in the first or second row(排) to the left of the entrance (入口). That way, when I come out, I naturally start walking toward where my car is parked because it has become a habit.
No one can deal with all the problems on his own. We all have to ask for favors（寻求帮助）sometimes. But it can be a difficult thing to do, even when you ask a good friend. So how can you ask for a favor and be sure to get a positive response（正面回应)?Here are some suggestions.
Be a nice person. When you ask someone for a favor，you're really asking the person to go out of his or her way to help you. Show the person that you understand he or she is doing something especially nice for you. If people think you're friendly, they're more likely(可能的)to want to help. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}And，of course, a smile goes a long way.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#}How do people respond to requests（请求）like this one，"Hey，Mike，lend me your carl"? They probably refuse. How can you avoid this problem? Be especially careful with how you show your request. For example，say，"Mike，would you mind doing me a favor?" Mike will probably respond like this，" Maybe. What do you need? "{#blank#}3{#/blank#}People are more likely to agree to help you when they know the whole story.
Show your respect（尊重）. If someone agrees to do you a favor，allow the person to choose when he or she helps you. Be respectful of the other person's time，and try not to ask for too much. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Don't make a habit of asking for favors, and always make sure you're ready to do someone a favor in return.
A. Now you have his attention and can explain the situation. B. Choose your words carefully. C. If someone refuses your request, you should accept the answer politely. D. Thank them sincerely (真诚地）when they help you. E. Try your best to help the one who did you a favor once in your way. |
