Many of us spend a great deal of time and energy trying to prove that we are right and others are wrong. Many people1that it’s their job to show others how their positions, statements, and points of view are2, and that on doing so, the person they are correcting is going to somehow3it, or at least learn something. Wrong!
Think about it. Have you ever been4by someone and said to him, “Thank you so much for showing me that I’m wrong and you’re right”? Or, has anyone you know ever5you when you corrected them, or made yourself “right” at their6? Of course not. The truth is, all of us7to be corrected. We all want our position to be8and understood by others. Being listened to and heard is one of the greatest9of the human heart. And those who learn to10are the most loved and respected. Those who are in the11of correcting others are often resented(怨恨 ) and12.
A wonderful way for becoming more peaceful and loving is to practice13others the joy of being right ---give them the glory.14correcting. When someone says, “ I really feel it’s important to …”, rather than breaking15and saying, “No, it’s more important to…“, simply let it go and allow their statement to16. The people in your life will become less defensive and more17. They will appreciate you more than you could ever have18. You’11 discover the joy of joining in and witnessing other people’s19, which is far more rewarding than a battle of egos( 自我 ). Starting today, let others be “20 ”, most of the time.

Some plays are so successful that they run for years on end. In many ways, this is1for the poor actors who are required to go on repeating the sane2night after night. One would
3them to know their parts by heart and4have cause to falter(结巴).Yet5is not always the case.
A famous actor in a6successful play was once cast in the role of an aristocrat7had been imprisoned in Bastille for twenty years. In the last act，a gaoler(监狱长，看守)would always come on to the stage with a letter which he would hand to the prisoner.8the noble was expected to read the letter at each9,he always insisted that it should be written out in full.
One night, the gaoler decided to play a joke10his colleague to find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn the11of the letter by heart. The curtain went up on the final act of the play and revealed(使显露)the aristocrat sitting alone behind bars in his dark cell. Just then，the gaoler12with the precious letter in his hands. He entered the13and presented the letter to the aristocrat. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in
14as usual. It was simply a blank sheet of paper. The gaoler looked on eagerly,15to see if his fellow actor had at last learnt his lines. The noble stared at the blank sheet of paper for a few seconds. Then，squinting(眯着眼看)his eves，he said,“The light is16.Read the letter to me.”And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler.17that he could not remember a word of the letter either, the gaoler replied，“The light is indeed dim，sir. I must get my18”With this, he hurried off the stage. Much to the aristocrat’s19，the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses and the20copy of the letter which he proceeded(继续进行)to read to the prisoner.

My life as a little person is filled with stories. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.It has taken many years of1my confidence to be able to do that.
I didn’t2how short I was until I started school.As time went on，I just tried to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be3my whole life.I was determined to make my4an advantage rather than a disadvantage.My friends became increasingly 5 . They’d help me up the bus steps.If people were cruel，they would take them aside and6them.
7I lacked in height，I 8in personality my ability to laugh，even at myself.For example，one time I was9the washing machine at my parents’ house to grab the wet clothes.I fell 10in and yelled for Mother，who was sitting nearby reading the paper.Watching feet11everywhere，she laughed and said，“I should leave you in there.” I12her.
I’m 47 now，and the13have not reduced as I’ve grown older.People ask my friends if I live in a dollhouse.They look14when they see me get out of my car on the driver’s side.During those times，I try to keep a good15 . When people are rude，I16myself，“Look what else I have --a great family，nice friends.”
And it’s the children’s questions that make my life17.“Why are you so short? How old are you? Are you a mommy?” When I talk with children，they are left18that their questions have been answered.My hope is that in taking time with them，I will19them to accept their peers，whatever size and shape they come in，20treat them with respect.

As a young boy my family was very poor. I would often help do something for the neighbors to 1 a little pocket money.
One day I 2on the door of an elderly woman and asked 3she needed me to clean the yard. She asked why I was not in 4and I showed her my worn 5, which no longer kept me warm. She 6me to work in the yard. When I finished, she looked at me and said, “I suppose you want to be 7now.” She then 8 a jar filled with dollar bills and said, “I’m glad you’ve done a 9job today but that is not something you should be doing again. I want you to 10new clothes and get back to school. I also want you to come back to 11me with your report card and I will 12you when I see you have worked hard and have some good 13. Now reach out your little hands and take out as much 14as you can.”
I put my hands in the jar and 15so much money that it was 16for me to buy what I badly needed. Later, I returned several times to see the woman and she did just as she 17. She looked at my report card and gave me a handful of dollars and some delicious food every time I 18her that I had an “A”.
I was twelve years old when I moved from that neighborhood. I will never forget the huge 19this wonderful lady made over my life with her 20. This is something I hope to do myself in this lifetime over and over again.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in6. the professor said:" lf you have noticed, all the nice-looking7. cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is8for you to want only the best for Your belives, that is the9of your problems and stress. The professor continued," Believe that the cup itself adds no10to the coffee. ln most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases it even11what we drink. What all of you12wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went13the best cups. Now14this: life is coffee, the jobs, money, and15in society are the cups， which are just tools to hold and16life, and the different types of cups we have don't decide, nor17the quality of life. lf we concentrate only on the cups, we will18to enjoy the coffee in it. So don't let the cups19you...enjoy the coffee instead."

When my twin sons, Chad and Brad, were born, I was concerned about everything. Five years later, our little girl, Becky,1our family.I wanted everybody to be healthy and happy.I worked hard to see that they 2.
As the kids grew older, I worried about headaches, throat infections and many other3childhood illnesses.I didn't like it when the boys spent time "warming the bench (板凳)" during Little League football games.I worried about Becky when she4the ball while playing softball.Before long, the teen years were upon us.I stayed5late t night waiting for the boys to return home.Many times the6crossed my mind that I would call the police if they weren't home on time.7, they always arrived home safe and sound8I had to take such measures.
"Please don't ever call the police," one of the boys said when I9him after a late arrival.The day the boys moved away to college was a10day indeed.I worried about their being able to take care of themselves.Would they starve?
A few months after the boys left college, our11rang in the middle of the night. It startled (惊醒)us when we looked at the clock.It was 3 o'clock in the morning."12must be wrong," I shouted to my husband, Roy, as we both jumped up.We ran to the door, opened it, and there13a police officer.
"You need to14your sons," he seriously announced.I picked up the telephone, but unfortunately, it was15.A line outside had been accidentally (偶然) cut.Roy and I jumped into the car and16to the nearest telephone.My stomach ached.My husband was17so badly that he could hardly dial the number.
On the first18, Chad answered the telephone."What's wrong?" Roy shouted into the receiver (听筒).
"We were worried about you," Chad told him."We've been trying to call you all night, but you didn't19We called the police and asked them to go and check on you."
For the first time in their lives, the boys were worried about us.And they were the ones who20had to call the police.
