Question

I was recently invited to dinner by a friend. During the meal, the manager of the restaurant came       and said that our meal was free. He stood there          at me and he seemed a little         to me but I couldn’t quite remember him.         I asked him if he knew me. He laughed and said I had probably        him, but that I’d changed his life. My friend was quite         and asked him how I’d done this.

He said that twelve years ago he        a stress（压力）management（管理）class that I was giving. I asked the group what their greatest          was and most of them, including him, said it was their bosses.

I wanted them to look at the room from up there. After everyone had done it, I asked the group to        how the room looked different when they changed their perspective（角度）.

      Then I asked them to       their bosses. Was this the same person who had seen their good          and hired them? Did they remember how happy they were to be         for the job? But how did these wonderful people become terrible bosses?

He said I looked at him and asked if he had         said thank you to his boss for the         to earn a living. He answered he hadn’t. Then I asked him why he hadn’t tried being        to his boss.

He told us his         changed that night. He went back to work the next day with a thank-you card to his boss. He said I’d         him to look at life from different perspectives and express thanks.
