Popularity @ Stake

I've encountered many friends and colleagues. Ladies.

They always smile so brilliantly like the sunshine and are so eager to help everyone at the work place. They try their best to please all co-workers. Perhaps they wish to be Ms Popular or Mrs Popular.

Yet when the requestors turn their backs, these ladies would immediately grumble and lash their tempers. "What do they take me as... a courier person?" or "Why're they asking me questions? Shouldn't they be asking you instead?"... The list of grumblings goes on & on.

I feel that if they are unhappy to be helping others, learn to say NO, REJECT... and assign the tasks to others.

An ex-boss once gave me a valuable advise which stay stuck in my head. "If you are so eager to help others & be Ms Popular, then don't complain. Otherwise, learn to say NO."
