□ 心温まる物語 (自分の意見を英語で表現する訓練)
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
When Nagging Gets in the Way
- By Gina Gardiner
Whether you are working with your partner, your teenage children, or
a work colleague, the principle is the same. What you say and the way
in which it is said, the tone of voice, the words you use, and the
timing of when things are said all have the capacity to widen the gap
between you and the other person, to let them off the hook as they
can rationalize your nagging as unreasonable, or to make them think.
If you want things to be different, you have to change old patterns
of behavior. Listening to yourself and understanding what that
triggers in the other person is a vital step to creating a different
future.
This article uses the relationship between workaholics and their
partners as the focus, but you can use the principles when dealing
with any relationship.
Most partners of workaholics feel neglected; they see themselves
taking second place to their partners work. Clients often describe
how their partner will take the time and trouble to listen to a
member of their staff far more readily than they do them or their
children.
"If they loved me enough they would want to spend time with me." They
make the assumption that it is lack of love which causes their
partner to spend long hours away from them. Their frustrations and
sense of loneliness take over, and as soon as their partner gets home,
the frustrations spill over and they share how they are feeling and
the recriminations begin.
Like so many of the strategies we use when we are feeling
un-resourced, it is incredibly unproductive. Despite the fact that
the strategy rarely works, many partners (and parents) find they go
into nag mode knowing it is destined to fail and make them feel bad
into the bargain.
Einstein's definition of madness is to carry on doing the same thing
even though we know it doesn't work. Yet millions of us continue to
behave in a set way long after we know it is failing.
This is not about blaming. We do the best we can given the personal
resources at our disposal. What we want to do is to help you feel you
have a wider range of resources at your disposal and the choice when
to use them.
To understand why it fails so often, you need to take a step back and
take a long hard look at what is really going on. Understanding what
is actually happening can also give you the opportunity to behave
differently.
Most workaholics are workaholics because of some deep seated need
within themselves. Many are driven to succeed on terms which only
they can define as they push themselves long after most people would
feel highly successful.
For some, it is the dread of failure rather than the pull of success
which drives them. A poor sense of self-worth developed in childhood,
the need to feel significant by doing things for others, or having
external verification of worth are all common reasons for people
feeling more secure in their working life than in their personal life.
You know your partner well. Consider what is driving them. Think
about the relationship they had with their parents, siblings, or at
school.
Partners will often respond disproportionately to a particular tone
of voice or to being told that they have failed. It often hits a deep
seated raw nerve which has been created during their formative years.
The nagging becomes synonymous with a parent telling them how useless
they are or a teacher or class bully belittling them.
Over the next few days, just listen to yourself. Put yourself into
the shoes of the other person and consider how you would respond.
Be honest with yourself, but be constructive. This is not about
blaming. It is about seeing more clearly why things have gone wrong
and doing your best to find a productive way forward for you and your
partner.
Finding a win-win solution is always best. Making it a competition
between you and their work is a risky business.
Over the next few days, think about how you handle yourself when
dealing with your partner. You are the only person you can truly
control.
Think about what you truly want. If you want to change the
relationship you have with your partner for the better, then simply
waiting for them to change is unlikely to give you the result you
want.
To change things for the better, you have to make the decision to
change the one person in your power. That is YOU.
Think about the way in which you speak, when you choose to bring
things up, and how you couch things. Pouncing on your partner as soon
as they come in tired and irritable from work is probably not the
most productive time to talk about how unreasonable you think they
are, at least not if you want them to truly listen to you.
Run the conversation in your head and plan to do it differently. As a
general rule of thumb, make a distinction between how you feel about
them and their behavior.
"I love you very much, but I find ------ really difficult." Keep calm
and try not to see it as a point scoring exercise.
Making a change to your approach can make a difference over time.
Be realistic; if your partnership has been rocky for an extended
period of time, it can take time for a new strategy to work.
私の回答は、こちらです。

Q1: Please make a few sentence with "As a general rule of thumb,
xxxxxxxxxxxx."
As a general rule of thumb, you have to spend a lot of time on
a target market when you start a new business.
Q2: What do you say when your partner comes home tired and
irritated from work?
I just say, "You look tired. Why don't you take a hot tub and
relax before I make a cup of tea?"
Q3: What do you see when you put yourself into the shoes of
the other person?
I have a client who is trying to steal my know-how on a web-site
building. If I put myself into the shoes of that client, I see
he needs my know-how to start his own business.
It took me three years to learn the working knowledge on the
web-site building and I do not like to be stolen.
However, the know-how I accumulated through the years is not easily
copied so there would not be a concern.

□ 編集後記
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
自分でビジネスを始めると提供したサービスへの支払い回収という問題が
発生する。
私のビジネスは、原則、前払い。
ただ、
時として「前払い」という決済条件がクライアントに受け入れられない場合
がる。そんなときに限って支払日に入金されていない場合が多い。
多くの中小企業は、売り上げがたっても債権回収が出来なくて悩む事を何度
も経験する。
私のビジネスも例外ではないが、原則、「前払い」と話して仕事をしている
ためそれほど問題になるケースは多くない。
だが、ゼロではない!
営業で仕事を取る、クライアントを探すとき、自分にとって良いお客かどう
かを判断する目が必要だ。
どうも、このお客は決済面で危ういと少しでも感じたら適当に断ることにし
ている。このお客を判断する目を養うのに最低3年はかかると思っている。
”石の上にも3年”
起業して1年と9ヶ月目だ。まだまだ、学ぶべきことが沢山ある。

米国の大学で初めて英語の授業を受けた。まず、習った事は、
パラグラフの書き方だ。その次が、A41ページのエッセーの書き方だ。
毎回授業がある度に宿題でエッセーを提出させられた。そして、添削
された宿題が点数(A, A-, B+, B, B-など)と共に戻ってきた。
日本で学んだ方法とは、180度違っていた。それが新鮮だった。
