隱性剛毅木納

本來免為其難,開會時認頭了研究生會活動的司儀角色和答認致電呼籲同學出席,但回家後,越想越不妥,回覆主席其他事情時,順便加了幾句:
BTW, I'd like to explain myself clear to you as we'll work as a team, and I do hope we all enjoy every moment working as a team.
Before I quitted my job, the tasks I hated most are being MC, making telephone to follow up guests' attendance and guest reception, no matter how I was praised for the outcome. Now, I quitted, the most happy thing is I can do what I like and don't need to do what I was paid for...... I really don't want to repeat the jobs I hated most in my dog day life.
I hope you understand my sentimentally stubborn resolve.

ps yesterday when I promised to make follow up call, it's not my will...

過了一天,收到她的回覆:
Thanks for your mail and I hope you're not quit from our team, right!......This is strange and I'll be the MC of the seminar, and I hope to know more about each other, pls feel free to talk. I'm really very simple as my husband told me yesterday......I hope this kind of advice and conversation would help things to go better, sometimes to grow as a great job.

再度回郵,答謝她的諒解:
I'm always happy to work as a teammate with a friend like you. So, I chose to share my uneasy feeling with you in an early stage, you know, I seldom say no when I can help.

簡單的人多好,大家把話說出來,事情便解決了。

快半百了,真的無謂為了不好意思,勉強自己做不自在的事。

當年受訓期間,班主任要我做中秋晚會司儀,不容異議,在採排對稿時,幾乎粗口也罵了出來,他自動送上香煙啤酒,軟硬兼施,雖然演出成功,完事後即時胃痛發作。

後來再次回學堂,換了角色,同事要我做司儀,多了少許討價還價的能力,從此免役。

數年前,有次和備受眾人敬重的顏老師談起,原來他和我都是最討厭迎送賓客和跟進不覆RSVP的貴賓,顏老師剛毅木納,當然之至,但大概沒有太多人想到,像我這個表現如斯乖巧的小女子,竟會和顏老師一樣。

這是一種深層的隱性剛毅木納。
