口舌上的贏,可能輸掉友情

文/戴晨志


語言,是「伴隨著溫度」的東西。當我們的說話幽默、生動,或言之有物、令人感動,則會使人感到「興奮、快樂或悸動」,我們體內的溫度,也隨之感到溫暖。相反地,若我們的言語索然無味、了無生趣,甚至令人厭惡,則聽者體內的溫度,也會隨之降低,而覺得心冷、顫然。

有個女孩說,她有個同事小莉,講話好討厭哦!譬如,這女孩說──我們幾個女同事一起逛街,在路邊買了一些紅豆餅,一邊走一邊吃,也請小莉吃,結果她說:「拜託,『邊走邊吃』這種沒水準的事,我才不做!」
到餐廳吃飯時,大家叫飲料喝,可是小莉說:「拜託,這種添加色素、糖水的果汁怎麼能喝?我們家都只喝現榨的原汁,其他的都不喝!」


還有一次,同事們談到某個公立小學辦得不錯,以後小孩可以到那邊唸書,小莉一聽,馬上說:「現在什麼時代了,還唸公立小學?我們家親戚都嘛是唸『私立雙語小學』,小孩以後長大,英語才會流利!」


溝通是一種技巧,也是藝術。有時咱們的原則是「對的」,出發點也是「良善的」,但是,如果口氣「太強勢」,或在公眾面前指責對方的不是,則聽起來都像是一種「無情的攻擊」,也徒增他人的反感。


曾有人提出所謂的「冰山理論」,來說明溝通與處事的道理。怎麼說呢?因為壯麗的冰山只有八分之一是「露出在海面上」,而另外八分之七是「沉在海底」,是「看不見的、不可捉摸的」;人也理當如此,要學習「含蓄、謙卑」,不能老「自以為是」、硬要「強出頭、教導別人」!古人也警惕吾人──「人之患,在好為人師」,更何況是以「我對你錯、你不該如此」的口吻來教訓別人。


溝通小箴言


有些人的講話,習慣性地「抬高自己、貶抑別人」;雖然人很漂亮,卻像是隻「全身長滿刺的孔雀」,當不同意別人的說話時,立刻張開滿刺的羽毛,來「防衛自己、刺傷別人」。


想想,一隻「全身是刺的美麗孔雀」,是不是很恐怖?


因此,我們必須學習──要避免「驕傲式的說話」,而且,炫耀的話要「多聽少說」,免得成為別人厭惡的對象!


西洋有句俗話說:「無心與人談話,不如保持沉默,以免無意中說出傷害人家的話。」


同時,一時口舌上的贏,卻可能會失去一輩子的「友情、愛情和親情」啊!

A Little Inspiration To Keep Rolling


Life is like a Cup of Coffee. Savor the coffee not the cups. The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.


你感恩了吗?

其实每天早上能够张开眼睛,都要感谢天父有允许我多活一天。


很喜欢这句话:生命不能用一年年来计算,生命是由一分一秒来计算。因为谁都无法说得上自己下一秒是否能继续活着。因为你所浪费的今天,是昨天死去的人仰望的明天;你所厌恶的现在,是未来的你回不去的曾经。


生命无常,愿我们感恩所拥有的每分每秒!

来听听这首歌:你在烦恼什么?当你难过得时候听听这首歌, 就会覺得生命還是很美好, 你是幸福的!~

Life is How You See





Bad can equal good and good can equal bad. It's all in how you look at it, ,make yours far from sad. Life is how you see if. No matter good or bad, if you find the good in things, the bad can't make you sad.

But if you do the opposite, when things don't go your way. You'll find yourself far from happy. Wishing for another day. Instead cherish all your days, all the good and bad, we must be happy for all we have, even if it makes us sad.

Thinks positive. No matter what happens, life still goes on and you have your loved one who always support you. You are a blessed one :)

A Picture Says a Thousand Words



"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far it is possible to go."

Meaning of Life


“People work too hard to figure out the meaning of their lives. Why me, why now. The truth is, sometimes things don't happen to you for a reason. Sometimes it's just about being in the right place at the right time for someone else.” ― Jodi Picoult, Second Glance 


Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become.


You never know who these people may be, a roommate, a neighbor, a professor, a friend, a lover, or even a complete stranger. When you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some profound way.

尊重


我們在與別人交往中,

總是會有這樣的經歷,

一句不經意的讚美,

一句抱歉及對不起之類的話語,

總會使人感到心情舒暢。

道理很簡單,

從中人們感覺自己受到了別人的尊重。

受到別人尊重是每個人的願望。

想要得到他人的尊重,

首先應當尊重他人。

只有當你尊重了別人,

你才有可能從別人那裡得到應有的尊重。

Sand & Stone


This is a story about two friends who were walking through a forest. At one particular point the two got into an argument and one friend hit the other in the face. The one who was hit was hurt, but without any word he wrote in the sand: "Today my best friend slapped me in the face.’ 

They walked on until they found an oasis where they decided to have a bath.The one who had been hit got stuck in the mud and was drowning but the friend saved him When he came to, he carved in a stone:‘Today my best friend saved my life’ The friend who had hit his best friend then saved him asked:‘After I hit you you wrote this in the sand and now you carved in the stone that I saved you, why did you do this?’ 

The other friend answered:‘When someone hurts us we must write it in the sand where the wind of forgiveness can blow it away’ But if someone does a good deed for you, we have to carve it in stone where no wind can blow it away.’ Learn to write the hurt in the sand and carve your good experiences in stone.  It is said that it takes only a minute to find extraordinary people, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but it takes a whole life to forget them.

Journey




“The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination.”
