I remember the first time I asked a particular person to do
something for me, she said yes, but her facial expression and body language
said ‘NO’.
She did the thing haphazardly and when she gave it to me, she complained
about how difficult it was to do. I knew it was not that difficult because it
was the simplest part of her daily job. I decided not to ask her to do anything
and that was the case for many years. One day I needed something done. I knew that
the reluctant person was good at doing it, but I had two minds about asking. Days
later she came to my home for me to do something for her. I did it without
hesitation. She was pleased with it so I felt that she would be willing to do
the thing I wanted. When I asked her, her facial expression and body language was
on. I wanted to kick myself, but I said, “Don’t worry I would use something else.”
With out hesitating she said, “Okay.”
After that incident, she would
ask me to do things and I would do it. Today is a different story…
