On my way home I knocked into a man when he ."Oh. I'm terribly sorry," I said. ‘That's all right. Please excuse me too; I didn’t even you. I wish(希望) I didn't hurt you."

We were very . We said good-bye and went on our way.

But at home we often treat (对待)our loved ones in a different way.

Later that day, when I was cooking the evening meal, my daughter stood beside me very quietly.

When I turned, I nearly her down. " Move out of the way." I shouted. She walked away, tears(眼泪) in her eyes.

When I lay in bed, I realized(意识到) how I'd spoken. So I decided to get up to say sorry to my daughter. On the way to her bedroom, to my surprise, I found some by the door of the kitchen. At that time my tears began to fall. I quietly went and got down on my knees by her . She woke up and put her arms around my neck . Then I asked," Did you pick these flowers for me?"

She smiled," I found them by the tree. I picked them they're like you. I knew you'd like them. I stood quietly because I wanted to give you a .'"'Oh dear, I'm really sorry for the way I acted today; I shouldn't have shouted at you."

“That's okay. Mom. I love you anyway."

I suddenly realized what a clever way it is to explain(解释) the word like this:

( F) ather (A) nd ( M) other, ( I) ( L) ove ( Y) ou !

A group of men, highly successful in their jobs, went to visit their old teacher. Soon they began to about the stress in work and life.

The old teacher went to the kitchen and returned a pot of coffee and different kinds of cups: glass, plastic; nice-looking ones, ugly ones; some , some cheap. He told them to help to the coffee.

When all the students were holding a cup of coffee, the teacher said: “I’ve found that all the nice-looking expensive cups were and you’ve left behind the ugly and cheap . While it is for you to take only the best for yourselves, your problems and stress come along.

You know that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee, what you wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you went for the best cups.

Now think this: life is the coffee. The jobs and money are the cups. They are just outlooks of our life, and the type of cup does not the quality of life. Sometimes, we care about the cup, and we fail the coffee that life offers us. Life hands us the coffee, not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee!”

The happiest people don’ t have the of everything. They just make the best of everything.

So please speak kindly, live , and love deeply.
