Assignment：Should we complain to get what we want？ 这次亚太地区的这个作文题目，乍看之下，这个complain好似无从下手。但是其实这个题目并没有逃出我们通常准备例子来写作的套路。不难联想到，我们准备的例子中这些遭遇苦难或者遇到挫折和困难，但是坚持了下来的这些人，不少都可以说他们在困难面前，并没有怨天尤人，而是迎难而上采取行动，最后通过这样的行为获得了成功。所以我们可以由这样的例子得出自己的观点，即抱怨并不能解决问题，要想获得我们所追求的东西，就应该不怨天尤人而是采取行动。按照这样的逻辑行文，这个题目难度不大。 Sometimes, a simple solution happens to be the most effective one, so that people tend to simulate the childrens trick of making noises in order to make their needs and desires heard and satisfied. However, as to significant conditions, advertising and complaining about ones demands do not work since few people are willing to compromise their interests to meet these demands, and even if they are, the demands can hardly be fully gratified. Complaint does not work when there is a genuine difference of interests between two parties. Jack Welch， the former CEO of General Electric, revitalized the company by taking actual actions instead of complaining about the hideous situation. Before Welch took office, bureaucracy dominated the company and senior officials took complete control of everything; the management hierarchy was divided into nine levels, seriously delaying the carrying out of decision. Deeply realizing the defects in management, Welch determined to eliminate inefficiency by decentralizing power and dismissing workers. However, he didnt complain about the declining trend or explain his strategy to other managers, thinking they wouldnt possibly support him since their interests would be sacrificed. Instead, he resolutely carried out his plan: he made sure that every employee had a voice to enhance their enthusiasm; besides, the hierarchy was reduced to four levels, which resulted in a quick response to the market. While Welch inevitably encountered objection and criticism during the process, he focused on his actual actions instead of empty words. Eventually, GE had gone from a market value of $14 billion to one of more than$ 410 billion at the end of Welchs tenure. If Welch had complained to other managers, he might have not only provoked more objection to his proposal, but diminished his resolution as well. By keeping relatively quiet, he made time to concentrate on his actions and delicately put his plan into practice, thus reviving the company from the verge of bankruptcy. |
