Meanwhile, another man would say to himself, "I thinks the boss was having a bad mood this morning. Maybe there is something that is bothering him. Hopefully if I worked well today, I will be able to make him happy". Although located in the same situation, the two men have different perceptions, hence their response to a case is also different.
