Put a Little Love in Your Life(給生活多一份愛(ài))
Put a Little Love in Your Life
I remember growing up,my mom always said, "Half the fun of doing anything is sharing it with other." It's so true.Friends and mates allow us to savor our success and our joys, comfort us in our challenging moments, and provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves. I've always looked at friends as the family we choose. They enrich our lives. As Robert Louis Steven once said, "A friend is a present which you give yourself."
To be a good friend or partner, it's important to be a good listener. Hear what your friend or mate has to say first rather than jumping to conclusions or getting defensive. Sometimes it is useful to be their mirror, for when they hear their words repeated back to them, it can help them to realize that what they said was not exactly what they meant to say.
Patience, compassion and empathy are also important traits in being a good friend or partner. You know the old golden rule,"Care for others the way you would like them to care for you." The support of a friend during a tough time could make the difference between success and failure. Encouragement and confidence are priceless gifts that can help change a person's Life.
Take care, though, with whom you choose to have close relationships for they can have a tremendous impact on your self-esteem and life path. As someone once told me, "The attitudes of your friends are like the buttons on an elevator.They will either take you up or down."
給生活多一份愛(ài)
我記得在長(zhǎng)大的過(guò)程中，我母親總是說(shuō)，“做事的一半樂(lè)趣來(lái)自與他人分享。”這是非常正確的。朋友和伙伴讓我們品嘗成功和喜悅的滋味，在我們面臨挑戰(zhàn)時(shí)安慰我們，讓我們自我反省以更好地認(rèn)識(shí)自己。我經(jīng)常把朋友看作我們所選擇的家庭。他們豐富了我們的生活。正如羅伯特·路易斯·斯蒂芬所說(shuō)，“朋友是你給自己的禮物。”
要成為一位好朋友或好伙伴，成為好的傾聽(tīng)者是很重要的。先要傾聽(tīng)你的朋友或伙伴說(shuō)什么而不是急于下結(jié)論，或是心存戒心。有時(shí)成為他們的鏡子是很重要的，因?yàn)楫?dāng)他們聽(tīng)到他們所說(shuō)的話被重復(fù)時(shí)，這會(huì)幫他們意識(shí)到他們所說(shuō)的并非他們真正想說(shuō)的。
耐心、熱情和同情心也是成為好朋友或好伙伴的重要品質(zhì)。你知道一條老規(guī)矩：“要像你期待他們關(guān)愛(ài)你一樣關(guān)懷他人�！痹谧�
