22、Once there was a manager (经理) who had a team of around 40 hardworking members. Everything seemed great. But one thing worried him: the group had a hard time communicating (交流) and sharing information with each other.
Then one day, the manager had an idea. He decided to take his group to play games together, and he prepared 3 rounds (轮次) of games carefully.

Within just a few minutes, everyone had his balloon with his own name. The manager was very happy and discussed with his group about the reason why they didn’t find their balloons in the second round.

23、 Good advice can help people make better decisions(决定). When someone asks you for advice, you should take it seriously and try your best to give good advice. Sometimes you should remember what your mother taught you: if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, because bad advice may have terrible results. There are some ways for you to give advice.
☆Listen to the person asking you for advice. Every situation(情况) is special, so never think you know all about a problem. Listen to the person who wants advice, and learn as much as possible about the situation.
☆Put yourself in others' shoes. Think about what you will do if you are in the same situation. Don't just depend on(依赖) your experiences to give advice.
☆Think about the results of taking and not taking your advice. When possible, think twice about all the possible results. This is more important for really difficult problems.
☆Understand that the person may not take your advice. Someone asks for your advice, but he or she may not take it. When you give advice, the idea is to give someone the tools( 方法) to make their own decision, not make the decision for them. The person knows more about the situation than you do, so your advice may not be the best. Don't be surprised when a person doesn't take your advice. Live with it, and let the person live with his or her decision.
☆Don't be afraid to let the person know that you don't have anything to say if you are not able to give any advice. Take some time to think about it. You may share your thoughts later.
