A List

One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.
Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.
It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers.
That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual.
On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. "Really?" she heard whispered. "I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!" and, "I didn't know others liked me so much," were most of the comments.

That's Life

God created the donkey 
and said to him: 
"You will be a donkey. 
You will work un-tiringly from sunrise to sunset 
carrying burdens on your back. 
You will eat grass, you will have no intelligence
and you will live 50 years." 
The donkey answered:
"I will be a donkey, but to live 50 years is much.
Give me only 20 years" 
God granted his wish.

笑了就好辦

都是從網上得來的好東西,值得與人分享,中看的,不妨多來走走,並願讀後有所得著

輕鬆化解言語衝突
笑,不但能讓我們生財,還能化解人與人之間的齟齬衝突呢!
有一個老公,情人節當天買了一件衣服送給老婆,老婆一翻標籤,哇!這麼貴,樣式又不很喜歡,不禁脫口就唸:「你怎會買這麼貴、樣式又土的衣服呢?真是沒水準!」
老婆心疼錢就這麼一直罵老公「沒水準」,那位老公曾經上過情緒管理的課程,情緒轉化的相當好又很幽默,只見他輕輕地附在老婆的耳畔說:「不要緊,我買衣服很沒有水準,但我討老婆可是很有水準的唷!」哇!老婆聽了,就高興地安靜了下來。
普天下的男士們 !當老婆罵你是「臭男人」時,你就回稱她「香女人」,當老婆說「我恨你」時,你就說「我愛妳」,當老婆說「嫁給你好像是一朵鮮花插在牛糞上」時,你就提起手臂說「來,現在牛糞要邀請鮮花去散步了!」
只要老婆噗哧一笑,包管雨過天青、天天天藍。

種樹理論

也是從網上得來的好東西,值得與人分享,中看的,不妨多來走走,並願讀後有所得著
早些年,我有個鄰居醫生,他很喜歡在自家的大院子裡種樹。但他很少給樹苗澆水,那些樹長得很慢。有一天,我決定去拜訪一下那個醫生,問他會不會為樹苗長不快而感到擔心。他帶著一種自豪的口氣,給我講了他的絕妙理論。
他說,如果老是給樹苗澆水,樹根就會習慣于土壤淺層的舒適環境,而且總等著輕易就能得到來自地面的水。因為他不常澆水,樹確實會長得慢一些,但這樣樹根就能向土壤的深處生長,去那裡尋找水份和養料。因此,這些樹會有很深的根,更能抵抗惡劣氣候的侵襲。他還告訴我,他每天都會拍打這些樹。

3個酸媽媽

                                                                                                                                                                                 作者:小野
3個媽媽聚在一起聊天。

其中一個非常失落地說:「中秋節難得全家團聚,剛剛接下他爸爸事業的兒子和新婚媳婦也從大陸趕回家來,大家一起烤肉。
我兒子每烤好一串肉,就夾到媳婦的盤子裡,夾滿了整整一盤。我的盤子始終空空的,他都沒看見,就像他永遠看不到我空虛的心一樣。
幾個月前我們才花一大筆錢幫他們辦婚禮,新房也是他老爸送的。他們吃的住的都靠我們,而我卻連一串烤肉都分不到。夠心酸的吧?」
