So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don't wait for an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr.  Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time. ” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you.  Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person's perspective (视角). You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance (无知), fear—even love. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person's point of view.

Giving Back

The Westborough High School golf team had taken the official photos with the state prize. The other teams, disappointed, were on the bus heading home. And then Westborough instructor Greg Rota noticed something wrong on one of the score cards. A 9 had been recorded as a 7. They were not the state prize winner; Woburn High had won. “No one would have known,” said Woburn's instructor, Bob Doran. For Rota, it wasn't a difficult decision: “The prize wasn't ours to take.”

Coin Stars

“College students are lazy, but they also want to help,” says University of Pennsylvania graduate Dana Hork.

    “See that red light near Austin Avenue (大道)？”the controller asked a visitor. “There’s a repair truck fixing the road, and the traffic has to go around it.”

    I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off it and walked or on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough. Then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived and even that I pronounced badly.

    I stopped to ask a friendly-looking newspaper-seller. He smiled and handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. The policeman listened to me carefully, smiled and gently took me by the arm. there was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.

    About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was to find the nearest rail-way station.
