124.要被他人想念
要被他人想念。贏得眾人歡心的人十分罕見。若能贏得智者的青睞,便是三生有幸。人走茶涼是普遍規(guī)律,但要獲得善意的回報(bào),也不是沒有辦法。最穩(wěn)妥的方法就是:在工作中、在才能上出類拔萃,若還是和藹可親之人,那樣人們會(huì)說是工作需要你,而非你需要那份工作。有的人能給自己的工作帶來榮耀,還有的人憑借自己的工作而為自身帶來榮耀。如果你的繼任者不能勝任工作而顯得你工作不錯(cuò),這絕不是什么榮耀。因?yàn)檫@并不代表人們懷念前任,僅說明他們希望繼任滾蛋。
124.Get yourself missed
Get yourself missed. Few reach such favour with the many; if with the wise it is the height of happiness. When one has finished one's work, coldness is the general rule. But there are ways of earning this reward of goodwill. The sure way is to excel in your office and talents: add to this agreeable manner and you reach the point where you become necessary to your office, not your office to you. Some do honour to their post, with others it is the other way. It is no great gain if a poor successor makes the predecessor seem good, for this does not imply that the one is missed, but that the other is wished away.
