如果你希望别人热情接待你,你一定要热情接待别人。

我曾要求成千上万的商业人士时刻对某人微笑,持续一个星期后,到班上来讲讲结果。它会产生怎样的效果呢?让我们来看看……这封信是一个叫威廉·B。史坦哈德的先生写的,他是纽约的一个股票经纪人。他的情况并不少见,事实上,它是成千上万的案例中典型的一个。

“我已经结婚18年多了,”史坦哈德写道,“在此期间,从我起床到准备好出门上班,我很少对妻子微笑,或说上一两句话。我是那些匆匆行走在百老汇的人当中最不高兴的人。

“当你要求我以微笑的经验发表一番谈话时,我决定试一个星期。所以,第二天早上梳头的时候,我看着镜中满面愁容的自己,就对自己说:‘比尔,你今天要把脸上的愁容一扫而空。你要微笑起来,现在就开始。’当我坐下来吃早餐时,我问候太太‘早安,亲爱的’,同时对她微笑。

“你曾提醒过我,她可能大吃一惊。噢,你可能低估了她的反应。她不知所措、惊愕不已。我对她说,从此以后可以把我这种态度看成平常的事情。我每天早晨都坚持这样做。

“我改变后的态度,这两个月里给我们家带来的快乐,比去年一年的还要多。

“我去上班时,我会对大楼开电梯的人微笑着说‘早上好!’我还微笑着跟看门人打招呼。在地铁售票处兑换零钱的时候,我也会微笑着和服务员打招呼。当我站在交易所大厅时,我向那些以前从未见过我微笑的人们微笑。

“我发现每个人都对我报以微笑。我用愉快的方式对待那些过来发牢骚或诉苦的人。我微笑着听他们说,问题就很容易调解了。我发现微笑给我带来了钱财,每天都大有所获。

“我同另一位经纪人共用一间办公室,他有一个职员是一个讨人喜欢的小伙子。我很为自己取得的进展而高兴,于是我将最近自己关于人际关系的新哲学告诉他。后来,他承认说,当我最初与他的公司共用办公室的时候,还以为我是个郁郁寡欢的人呢——直到最近才改变看法。他说,我微笑的时候很有人情味。

“我也改掉了批评别人的习惯,现在,我总是欣赏和称赞别人,而不是指责。我不再只谈论自己的需要,而是试着从别人的立场来看问题。这些逐渐彻底地改变了我的生活。现在我完全变成了另外一个人,一个更快乐、更富有的人,而且拥有更多的友谊和快乐——毕竟这才是真正重要的东西。”
