要过年了,说点儿轻松的。
《有话好好说》是张艺谋早年的一部作品,很精彩。男主角是姜文和李保田,张艺谋自己还客串了一个收旧货的,站在女主角的楼下大喊“安红,额想你!”,过了一把上镜头的瘾。故事的情节我已经记不清了,大概其的意思是,人与人发生冲突的时候,由于没有做到有话好好说,最后竟然闹到了老实人动刀子,差点出了人命。
在人的成长过程中,智商(IQ)是很重要的,因为智商的高低大致决定了一个人学习新知识新技能的接受能力和掌握速度。同样,人的一生中,情商(EQ)也是不容忽略的。一般认为,情商是衡量一个人处理人际关系能力的一个指标,它衡量一个人应对情感、挫折、荣誉、险境等境遇的能力。情商高的人,可以左右逢源,轻松化解人与人之间的矛盾。情商低的人,却可能把冲突升级,导致本来可以避免的悲剧结局。在大是大非上坚持原则,眼睛里不揉沙子,性格倔犟,这些都算是美德。但是,在小事上何妨灵活掌握,学会妥协和退让,从而获得一个双赢局面?
在科研单位和高校,情商尤其重要。这是因为,知识分子成堆的地方,大抵智商是不缺的,情商的高低,往往决定了一个人的职业生涯。尤其是在同事之间有冲突和矛盾的时候,能否采取理智和高明的方法去化解冲突,情商的高低会起到很大的作用。
一年多以前我写过一篇博文,叫做《通过沟通与协商化解冲突》,介绍了一些化解冲突的基本方法。博文地址:http://bbs.sciencenet.cn/home.php?mod=space&uid=71485&do=blog&id=262833。
之所以旧话重提,是因为最近出了一件令人啼笑皆非的事儿。
加州州立大学Northridge分校的数学系助理教授Tihomir Petrov跟系里的同事闹矛盾。具体是什么性质的矛盾,矛盾的起因和已经采取了那些解决方式,现在还不清楚。这位教授选择的进一步处理矛盾的方式,是很特别的。他不是尽量去沟通,或者是遵循正常合法渠道去为自己讨个公道或者说法,相反,他采取了只有年轻的坏孩子才能做出的举动——他趁周围没有人的时候,到对方的办公室门前,冲着办公室的门,酣畅地撒了一泡尿。
可能他认为这样可以部分舒解自己心头的愤懑。也可能他认为自己这样做,神不知鬼不觉,不会有什么严重后果。但是,不幸的是,他们办公楼安装了监视录像装置。他留在门上的尿渍很明显,人们发现以后,通过调阅录像,很容易就锁定了他。
现在,Tihomir Petrov被提起公诉。按照情节,如果罪名成立,他应该只会受到轻微的处罚。但是,这件事对他未来的职业生涯所造成的负面影响,一定是很大的。他不得不为自己的一时冲动付出代价。
Tihomir Petrov并不是个毛头小子,他今天43岁了。2002年,他从一流名校纽约大学获得博士学位,应该是个智商比较高的人。可惜,他的情商跟智商的高低并不匹配。公诉人说:或许他是个学者,但他绝不是个绅士。
以下是这个事件的英文报道:
(http://www.aolnews.com/2011/01/28/college-math-professor-tihomir-petrov-accused-of-urinating-on-co/)
A California university professor videotaped urinating on a colleague's office door may be a scholar, but he's no gentleman, prosecutors say.
Tihomir Petrov, a 43-year-old math instructor at California State University, Northridge, has been charged with two misdemeanor counts of urinating in a public place, prosecutors said.
Investigators allege the urination violations occurred in December and were a direct result of a dispute Petrov was involved in with another math professor.
College officials set up a hidden camera near the co-worker's door in Santa Susanna Hall after suspicious puddles were found in front of it, the Los Angeles Times reported. The camera captured Petrov in the act of relieving himself, officials said.
"We will not be releasing the surveillance tape as it is evidence in the ongoing trial," university spokeswoman Carmen Ramos-Chandler told The Daily Sundial.
Petrov's attorney, Garret Weinrieb, appeared on behalf of his client in San Fernando Superior Court on Thursday. The defendant was granted a 30-day arraignment extension. His arraignment has been rescheduled for March 3.
"At this point, as in the case of any other criminal matter, we're gathering all the evidence so we can properly evaluate the case and proceed forward from there," Weinrieb told AOL News today. "It's not being treated any differently from any other criminal matter."
Calls to Petrov's office phone went unanswered today, and he did not immediately return e-mails requesting comment.
