Асханада жұмыс істеймін. Бүгін таңертең бір азамат келді. Кассадағы кезегі жеткен соң «Менің артымда тұрған қыздың кофесін мен төлеп кетейін. Менен оған «Қайырлы күн!» тілей салыңызшы» деді. Ол кеткен соң қыз оның қылығына таң қалды. Көп ойланбастан өзінен кейін тұрған адамға ол да солай жақсылық жасағысы келді. Осылай бес адам бірінен соң бірінің кофесін төледі! Жақсы күн тілеймін! Жақсылықты көп жасайық!

I work in the canteen. A man came here this morning. As soon as it was his turn at the checkout, he said, "I'll pay for the coffee of the girl behind me. He asked me just say, " good afternoon!" to the woman. When he left, the girl was surprised by his behavior. Without thinking much, she wanted to do the same thing to the person standing after her. So five people paid for coffee one by one for each other! Have a good day! Let's do good things more!

One of the key drivers of workplace anxiety is the fear of the unknown. When faced with a high-stakes negotiation, it's natural to feel apprehensive about the potential outcomes and the consequences of our actions. To combat this, it's important to thoroughly prepare and gather as much information as possible. Research the other party, understand their interests and priorities, and anticipate potential objections or roadblocks. The more informed and prepared you are, the more confident and in control you'll feel during the negotiation process.

Another common source of workplace anxiety is the fear of confrontation or conflict. Many people shy away from negotiations, worried that they'll come across as aggressive or that the interaction will turn adversarial. However, effective negotiation is not about winning at all costs; it's about finding a mutually beneficial solution. Approach the negotiation with a collaborative mindset, focusing on finding common ground and exploring creative options that address the needs of both parties.

Instead of viewing the negotiation as a high-stakes battle, consider it an opportunity to showcase your problem-solving skills and demonstrate your value to the organization. Shift your mindset from "I have to win" to "I have the chance to find a solution that works for everyone." This subtle shift in perspective can help reduce the sense of personal threat and allow you to engage in the negotiation process with greater confidence and composure.

Finally, it's important to remember that workplace anxiety is a natural and common response to high-pressure situations. Rather than trying to eliminate it entirely, focus on developing strategies to manage and channel that energy in a productive way. Engage in stress-reducing activities, such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness practices, to help you stay grounded and focused during the negotiation process.
