题目内容
5.We were standing at the top of a church tower.My father had brought me to this spot in a small Italian town not far from our home in Rome.I wondered why."Look down,Elsa,"Father said.I gathered all my courage and looked down.I saw the square in the center of the village.And I saw the crisscross(纵横交错的网络) of twisting,turning streets leading to the square."See,my dear,"Father said gently."There is more than one way to the square.Life is like that."
Now I understood why I was there.Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school.But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.
When I turned to Father for help,he would not interfere(干预).Instead,he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson---the value of an open,searching(锐利的) mind.By the time we reached home,I had a plan.
At school the next day,I secretly poured my luncheon soup into a bottle and brought it home.Then I talked the cook into serving it to Mother at dinner.The plan worked perfectly.She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered(喷溅),"The cook must have gone mad!"Quickly I told what I had done,and Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!
In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson Father taught me.I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago.I wouldn't stop working until I tried every way to my goal.

★Be aware of the fact that some conflicts are unavoidable at work.On numerous occasions,conflict and disagreement are likely to happen.But when a conflict happens it's not the end of the world.On the contrary,it can be the beginning of an interesting learning process.Conflicts mean that people care enough to disagree strongly.The trick is not to allow the conflict to go on forever.
★Deal with conflicts sooner rather than later.Solve a conflict when it starts,as it only gets worse with time going by.Conflicts at work arise not from something that was said,but from something that wasn't said!Everyone's waiting for the other to admit he's wrong and gets more unpleasant after the conflict has lasted a while.It's essential to interrupt the"waiting game"before it gets to that point.
★Ask nicely.If somebody has done something that made you angry,or if you don't understand their viewpoint or actions,simply asking nicely about it can make a world of difference.Never assume that people do what they do to annoy or hurt you.Sometimes there's a good reason why that person does what he or she does,and a potential conflict disappear right there.Do remember to make an inquiry,not an accusation of any sort.
★Appreciate.Praise the other part in the conflict.Tell them why it's worth it to you to solve the conflict.This can be difficult as few people find it easy to praise and appreciate a person they disagree strongly with,but it's a great way to move forward.
