Burnout and Mental Health

We know we should appreciate people more often but do we know how to acknowledge them and why is it even so important? 

In a conversation when you acknowledge people, they feel heard and valued. They become more open-minded even if you are opposing their beliefs. It’s because, through your acknowledgment of their ideas, they know that you have been listening and you understand where they are coming from. If you want to do business with people or maintain a good relationship with them, without learning how to acknowledge people, you will get nowhere.

Acknowledging is easy.

Just paraphrase what they said and follow up with a relevant question or your opinion. Paraphrasing proves that you understand them since you express their ideas using your own words. 

During negotiations or discussions even if you disagree with people, you can make them hear you out by disagreeing politely or by partially disagreeing with them. A strong disagreement shows that you are unwilling to talk. This makes the negotiation take a negative turn and go downhill. 

So, disagree politely and follow up with relevant questions to show that you are interested in learning more about them. 

What you do is often reciprocated. When you listen, they listen. When you show interest in people, they will show interest in you. When you acknowledge them, they will acknowledge your work, ideas, and suggestions.

Acknowledge people. Have more discussions and not arguments.

10. Ask about Date（日期）part2

The other day, I had dinner with a foreign friend, he called the waiter to clean up the table, and he said ‘这些不要了（we don’t need these）’.It’s OK, and we also have the corresponding Chinese saying like English.

I often say ’不好意思，麻烦收拾一下（bù hǎo yì si, má fan shōu shi yí xia）-Excuse me, could you please clean up here?’

5. 不好意思，麻烦收拾一下/ Excuse me, could you please clean up here?

       兔子和乌龟要赛跑了。小鸟一叫：“一二三！”兔子就飞快地跑了出去。乌龟一步一步地向前爬。兔子跑了一会儿，回头看不见乌龟，他很得意，就想：“乌龟爬得真慢，我睡一觉，等他追上来我再跑，我仍然可以得第一。”这样一想，兔子就睡起觉来了。
        乌龟在后面不停地向前爬，从兔子身边爬了过去，一直爬到了终点，得了第一名，可兔子还在那儿睡大觉呢！
