I'm sure that by far the most helpful person ever is my colleague and friend Ann. You know, there are many people who are ready to help you out when they don't have to go beyond and above. But Ann is always willing to give you a helping hand whenever you ask her for it, even when she's up to ears in work or even if she feels tired.

First of all, she's really great at problem-solving. So she is the first person my colleagues and I rush to when we have some dilemma. Somehow she manages to come up with brilliant solutions to all problems we discuss. Secondly, she can negotiate till the cows come home. For this reason, we often ask her to speak with difficult customers or suppliers who don't want to find a compromise.

Also, when someone is ill or when someone's on a business trip, she covers for this person. If it weren't for Ann, for example, anytime I had to miss a couple days in the office, whether it be for personal reasons, a vacation, or an illness, I would get stressed out as I would worry about the emails I'm missing, the meetings I had to cancel, and I would think about the hours upon hours it would take me to get caught up. Ann picks my workload and helps me avoid this vicious cycle by stepping in to lend a helping hand when and where she can.

Sometimes, when I'm away, I ask her to feed my pets, water my flowers and keep an eye on my flat. She helps me out in any difficult situation I face. She always seems to be on the lookout for an opportunity to help out. I know about her selfless nature and I try not to abuse her kindness.
