Doing such a good thing is unintentional but happy.

Because I took two days off last week, yesterday and today were busy cleaning up the work that was piled up before.

At work yesterday, I overheard some bad news and disturbed my mood and emotions.

I thought a lot at night, and I was able to sleep like a dream. .

(But this is not the focus of today's sharing. In short, it is about the consequences that must be borne because of personal work choices. Fortunately, I figured it out later)

When the time came this morning, when I was preparing materials for the noon meeting at work, I suddenly received a reply.

It's as simple as this:

Hi, thanks for your help and references.

It turned out that this was a letter I sent to my old colleague last week, and it was an email reply from the new company he was going to work for.

Introducing my old colleague from the Philippines who is now in Australia.

We left the former company around the same time three years ago.

This is the second time he applied for a new job and asked me to do his job referee (job qualification reference) to provide some information for the new company (such as his work attitude, skills and some previous work performance).

Here's a brief introduction, our relationship at that time was like this:

• When I used to work there, I belonged to a minority of Chinese in the department. Although he was part of my team, he spent most of the time chatting with his fellow villagers. I usually just wander around by myself and get used to the days of eating alone.
• When he used to work there, he was brought into the company by another boss from the same town. After the boss opened a new team, I was promoted before he was transferred to my subordinates, but he still had a good relationship with the boss.
• Later, when I was working on my team, he was not only boring, but also was often told by other colleagues that he had no team spirit in order to express himself. My comments to him are also very direct and rigid, but we have always maintained a professional attitude, and the work discussion has never been delayed or hindered the progress of the work.
• We have been in the same department for almost two years. At that time, apart from going to work, there were only a few dinners or gatherings (it should be no more than 10 times), and we went out with all our colleagues.

But in fact, this issue is not important, because he really works hard and takes good care of his family and children.

When he came to me, I said OK without hesitation.

Luckily, when I got the email and told him that I had helped to reply to the new company,

The end of his message reads like this (already translated):

Thank you again bro!

I have received a call from a new company and have been successfully accepted. .

I've signed the contract and all background checks have passed! I am really grateful and lucky!

I really owe you a favor

Although my relationship with him is really not very good, I will always like and cheer for his latest life photos on social media.

Now seeing his sincere reply, I'm really happy!

 **The trouble that bothered me yesterday still had some shadows, and it disappeared completely after that**

Maybe little things like this don't make a lot of sense to you, but I fully understand the anxiety of longing for a job in a different place (he is now in Australia).

Also understand the expectations and desires of a man who needs a better job and income to take care of his family.

Today's sharing is really purely happy sharing (I don't mean to say that I am a good person, just unintentional help since it will feel happy, and it is stupid to help many people without benefit).

Maybe because of the epidemic, working from home for too long feels really gloomy, so I am happy with the little things.

I don't know if you have done something to help people recently and feel happy?

In the end, I still hope that I can continue to maintain positive energy.

Everyone also take care of your health, I wish you all the best of luck and smiles!

good night~
