Shirley's Writting: Artistic Life & Art of Life --003: Improvisatory Accompaniment & Minor Role

One afternoon, in a summary meeting of a cooperated product launched, facing all guests and department managers, my boss interrupted my speaking. I was very embarrassed. In case my boss explained later, plused my art dreams -- I do not think that work is whole of my life, I felt relieved soon.

Last Sunday, I suddenly realized the “knack†of piano improvisatory accompany, my long term dream has been true. With a happy heart, I caught each little time, to make improvisatory accompany for myself and made record for my works for feeling the actual result. During this process, I suddenly understood the action of my boss and I got some inspiration about my own post as an assistant general manager/vice general manager.

My job is just like the improvisatory accompany of piano. One hand, I should have the ability to play piano with my left hand ? to deal with or to arrange the business job independently, to match the main work theme of the company forwardly; the other hand, I should be most willing to be a minor role, to obey and to match the demand of the main theme, to assure it more standout, more beautiful and more gliding. If the left hand’s improvisatory accompany is going beyond or play the peacock too much, it will make the main theme to be disturbed and the music will less the distinguishing of main theme and minor sounds, listener will not know the main meaning of the music and the departments do not know what to do. If the improvisatory accompany too passive, to wait the main theme always, then, the music will be too thin because the main theme is too alone. Also, if the improvisatory accompany is too high or too low, the time and power is not suitable, the music will no a tune and less the beauty of strewing and harmonious. So, as long as we accompany at a suitable time, with the suitable power, to play the suitable sounds, accompany and the main theme will march case, to create a beautiful and tuneful music together. My job is same.

As an assistant general manager and a deputy post, I must have the ability to take charge of a department alone when the company needs. At most of the other time, I must be most willing to a minor role to assort the main theme of the company, at a suitable time, with a suitable style and force, to assist the boss to mobilize every finger -- everyone’s activity, to remove any disturbs and suitable sounds, to complete the center job of the company in different phases. We can be really like a piano’s improvisatory accompany, to create some tunefulness music and to share its beautiful and wonderful together.

Have you work on any post to be an assistant to anyone? Do you agree with my views?
