Question

A woman decided to ask her boss for a raise in salary(薪水). All day she felt nervous. Late in the afternoon she came up to her boss with great courage. To her joy, the boss agreed to a raise.

The woman arrived home that evening to a beautiful table set with their best dishes. Candles were softly growing. Her husband had come home early and prepared a big meal. She wondered if someone from the office had told him the message, or…did he just know that her boss would not refuse her?

She found him in the kitchen and told him the good news. They hugged and kissed, then sat down to the wonderful meal. Next to her plate the woman found a beautiful note. It read, "Congratulations, darling! I knew you'd get the raise! These things will tell you how much I love you."

After super, her husband went into the kitchen to clean up. She noticed that a second card fell from his pocket. Picking it up from the floor, she read, "Don't worry about not getting the raise! You deserve(应得) it anyway! These things will tell you how much I love you."

Someone has said that the measure(度量) of love is when you love without measure. The man will give her all his love, whether she succeeds or fails. Love your family and love your friends. Love them without measure.
