Assume others should care about your needs.

认为别人都应该在乎你的需求。


Maybe you're desperate. Maybe partnering with a major player in your industry could instantly transform red ink into black. No one cares. No one should care. Those are your problems and your needs.

或许你很绝望,或许你的商业伙伴能够瞬间让你扭亏为盈。但是事实上,没有人会在乎你的事情。也没有人有这个义务。那些都是你自己的事。

Never expect others to respond to your needs. People may sympathize but helping you is not their responsibility. The only way to make connections is to care about the needs of others first. Ask how they're doing. Ask what could help them.

不要期望别人在乎你的需求。 人们或许会很同情,但是帮助你不是他们的责任。与人交往,从关心别人的需求开始。询问他们的近况,并在需要时伸出援手。

Care about others first; then, and only then, will they truly care back.

先关怀他人,然后,也只有这样,才能换来别人的关怀。
