When someone gives you advice,
listen without judgment, try to find value in what you’re hearing, and say: “Thank
you”. This wise advice is easy to understand yet hard to practice. I’ll give
you an example from my life when I totally blew it in term of practicing
what I teach.
In my work I travel constantly. I
always put off going to the airport until the last second. My wife, Lyda, was
sitting next to me in the front seat. I was racing along and not paying much
attention. Lyda cried out: “Look out! There is a red light up ahead.”
Being a trained behavioral
science professional—who teaches others the value of encouraging advice—I naturally screamed at her: “I know there is a red light up ahead!
Don’t you think I can see?” When we arrived at the airport, Lyda didn’t speak
to me. I wondered why she seemed mad at me.
During the flight to New York, I
did a cost-benefit analysis. I asked myself: “What was the cost of just
listening when Lyda called out the warning? Zero.” I then reasoned: “What was
the potential benefit? What could have been saved?” Several potential benefits
came to mind, including her life, my life, and the lives of other people.
I landed in New York feeling
ashamed of myself. I immediately called Lyda and told her my cost-benefit
story. I convinced her: “The next time you help me with my driving, I am just
going to say, ‘Thank you!’”
A few months passed, and I had
long forgotten the incident. Again, I was racing off to the airport, when Lyda
cried out: “Look out for the red right!” I was embarrassed, and then shouted: “Thank
you!”
I’m a long way from perfect, but
I’m getting better. My suggestion is that you get in the habit of asking the
important people in your life how you can do things better. And be ready for an
answer. Some people may tell you things like “Look out for the red light.” When
this happens, remember that there is possibly some potential benefit. Then just
say: “Thank you.”
1.What do we know about the author?
A. He is expert at
behavioral science.
B. He is gifted in cost-benefit
analysis.
C. He seldom takes his wife’s
advice.
D. He often runs the red traffic
light.
2.The underlined part “blew it ” in
Paragraph 1 probably means “_______”.
A. became annoyed with
the adviser B. forgot the practical method
C. failed to say “Thank you” D.
lost personal judgment
3.It can be inferred from the passage that
people _________.
A. tend to be defensive
when given advice
B. intend to follow others’
suggestions
C. had better study behavioral
science
D. should give their opinions
patiently
4.The purpose of the passage is to advise
people to ________.
A. do a cost-benefit
analysis in daily life
B. treasure others’ suggestions
C. learn from the author’s
experiences
D. discover potential benefits
