I was recently invited to dinner by a friend. During the meal, the manager of the restaurant came  16   and said our meal was free. He stood there   17   at me and he seemed a little   18   to me but I couldn’t quite place (想起) him.   19   I asked him if he knew me. He laughed and said I’d probably   20   him, but that I’d changed his life. My friend was quite   21   and asked him how I’d done this.

Twelve years ago he   22   a stress management class I was giving. I asked the group what their greatest   23   was and most, including him, said it was their bosses.

I listened   24   and then took a chair and placed it in the center of the room. I   25   on the chair for a few moments and then I   26   everyone to come and do the same. I wanted them to look at the room from up there. After everyone had done it, I asked the group to    27   how the room looked different when they changed their perspective (视角).

Then I asked them to   28   their bosses. Was this the same person who had seen their good   29   and hired them? Did they remember how happy they were to be   30   for the job? But how did these wonderful people become terrible bosses?

I looked at him and asked if he had   31   said thank you to his boss for the   32   to earn a living. He answered he hadn’t. Then I asked him why he hadn’t tried being   33   to his boss.

He told us his   34   changed that night. He went back to work the next day with a thank-you card to his boss. He said I’d   35   him to look at life from different perspectives and express gratitude.
