2．You are going along in a conversation with a friend and it all seems to be good，and suddenly，you say something and the conversation stops entirely．And you're thinking"What happened？"You didn't say anything insulting（侮辱的）or mean，you just voiced your opinion．Or so you think…
I had lunch the other day with a dear friend．I travel a lot for work，and she used to．I was complaining about the air travel．I said how I would love some day to get into the first class cabin where sutely conditions were far better than the economy（经济舱）．My friend said"You know what I used to do？I'd buy my coach ticket，but then，at the last minute，right before boarding started，I'd go up to the counter agent and ask if there were any first class seats still available．And often，they'd say‘yes!'and I'd only pay an extra 200insteadof 2000and get to fly first．"I immediately retorted with"Oh，that would never happen now．They jam the planes so full，there's never an available seat to be had．"And with that，the conversation ended-at least that part of it．
It was only later that it hit me I had unwisely said no to my friend's experience of life．I had slammed（砰地关，使劲摔）my reality in her face，as if hers didn't matter．
There are few things worse that we do to our friends than make them feel like they don't matter．We rarely mean to，yet we do it all the time．It would have been so easy for me to consider her experience in my response："I never thought of that．I wonder if it would still work，given the general overcrowding．"I would not have thus denied either her experience or mine．And there would have been a continuing basis for conversation，had we wished to do so．
Simply put，instead of listening competitively，we need to listen to learn．

19．With my hands and knees on the floor of the airplane，I was searching for an old lady's missing hearing aid during the flight from Sydney to Los Angeles．It occurred to me that this may not be the most dignified posture for a Buddhist nun（尼姑）．
I had seen the old lady from the seat in front of me as she walked up and down the passage with a flashlight．I asked a few times what was wrong，but she didn't answer at first--she couldn't hear me．She was wearing a woolen coat．Judging from her accent，she came from Eastern Europe．
Do you know what hearing aids cost？Thousands，especially for the new tiny hidden-in-the-ear type she described．It takes a long time for an appointment to make a new one，and many doctor visits to get the thing adjusted right．Therefore，my dignity seemed less important than finding that hearing aid．But how does one find a tiny black object in a shadowy jet cabin（机舱）？
The lady wasn't even sure where or when she had lost it．At one point，a couple of flight attendants did a random search around the lady's seat； I wasn't impressed．They left suggesting that she search the seat of her previous flight!My flashlight turned up all kinds of small objects，bits of plastic，broken pieces of headphones．
The old lady said that she gave up．Yet I couldn't．After we landed，as passengers streamed past us，I insisted that the lady move aside while awaiting her wheelchair．Then I got into a real down and dirty search among the dust under her seat and on the floor．
Look!A little peanut-sized shiny black object caught the light of my flashlight in a floor crack near her seat．
What a rush．"I found it!"
With great astonishment and gratitude，the old lady responded，"I haven't the words to express my thanks!"

17．When the one-year anniversary of my mother's passing came around，I found myself in the kitchen preparing some of her favorite dishes．
As I poured myself into cooking，some of the deep sadness I was experiencing at this one-year mark moved through me．I loved my mom's turkey soup．I remembered the time she made some especially for me．It was summer then and I had a terrible head cold．She arrived unexpectedly one afternoon at my work place with a huge jar of her turkey noodle soup．At the thought，I began to feel a little more relieved in the pain of losing her．
It was then that I realized I was reconnecting with my mother through food．I laughed a bit at myself when I reflected on all the dishes I had cooked that week．Without knowing it，I had created a beautiful ceremony to honor my mother and to comfort myself at this vulnerable（脆弱的） time．I suddenly felt my mother at hand and was filled with her presence．I was so uplifted and excited that I began talking to her，imagining she was there．
"What else should we make？"I asked of us both，wanting to keep the ceremony from ending．
"Irish Potato Pancakes，"was the reply．
I hesitated．The thought of these brought up another loss．The last time I made potato pancakes was two and a half years ago．I had taken off my engagement （订婚） ring and never found it again．Since then，I resisted using that recipe even though I really liked those pancakes as if it were partly to blame．
My mom should know better than to suggest these，I thought．She knew how upset I was about losing my ring．But despite these hesitations，I found myself caught up in the joy and celebration of the moment，and I reached for the cookbook without another thought of the ring．My mom did love Irish things．I opened the cookbook and turned to the pancake recipe．At once，something at the bottom of the page caught my eye…It was shining!Amazingly，there，pressed into the pages of this book，was my diamond ring!
That day，I made potato pancakes in the shape of hearts．
