用心聆听是心灵沟通的重要途径，是一种心灵的关怀

每个人说话都要有人听。相信我，善于聆听的人受欢迎，而且难能可贵，就好象撒哈拉沙漠中的甘泉一样。聆听时，试用一些很短的评语或问题来表示你在用心听，协助对方说下去，让对方有一舒心中抑郁的机会，心情便会好得多。另外，还要学会听出言外之意，在对方诉说后，较为心平气和时，你只消稍微说一两句表示关心的话就可帮助一个满腹牢骚的人，以不伤感情的方式消气。我们要学会用心听，但不要急于判断。我们总是勇于订立是非的标准，判断谁是谁非。只判断而不用心听，便会切断许多心灵沟通的途径。　　
要学会听出言外之意. :xedfingers:

The World is a Big Giant Playground

The world is a Big Giant Playground....

we are just sea creatures in this big OCEAN....

接受自己不過是個「小小的我」，

但眼裡要能夠容納「大大的世界」。

Acceptance 包容

包容

人活着，聪明也好，愚蠢也罢；有才也好，无才也罢，重要的是要有一颗包容心，人生自然就会多出许多快乐。

Acceptance of others their looks, their behaviours, their beliefs bring an inner peace and tranquility instead of anger and resentment

人生如坐公交车

人生，就像乘坐一辆公交车

我们知道它有起点和终点，却无法预知沿途的风景。

有的人行程长，有的人行程短。

有的人很从容，可以欣赏窗外的景色。

有的人很窘迫，总处于推搡和拥挤之中。

获得舒适与优雅，座位是必不可少的机会，因此总被人们争抢。

有的人很幸运，一上车就能落座。

有的人很倒霉，即使全车的人都坐下了，他还站着。

有时别处的座位不断空出来，唯独身边这个毫无动静。

为了坐上或保住座位，有的人漠视良心，甚至伤害他人。

有的人却因为这样那样的原因，不得不将到手的座位让给他人。

有的人用了种种的方式，历了长长的等待，终于可以坐下。

但这时他已经到站了。

下车的一刻，他回顾车厢，也许会为区区一个座位而感慨，自以为大彻大悟。

其实即使重新来过，他依然会去争抢，因为有时如果不坐下，连站的位置都没有。

除非你永远不上车，而这并不由自己决定。

到站的人下了，车上的人还在。

依然熙熙攘攘，依然上上下下……

祝大家在人生的公交车上都能找到适合自己的“座位”——当然，能坐上出租车、私家车甚或飞机、“嫦娥一号”也是相当不错的

又或者，步行，用自己的双脚丈量人生。

Lives are like Bus Rides

They say...our entire lives are like a bus ride...

For some of us the journey might be short and simple. Likewise some people's journey can be quite long and taxing.
For those who are calm and serene, they will enjoy the sceneries along the journey.

Some people always seem to be stuck in the middle of crowd. They cannot go forward, neither can they step back.
Then again it is better than those who are standing at the door. Those dangling at the entrance are in danger of falling off the bus.

Of course in order to travel in comfort, one must be able to get a seat. Hence everyone will be fighting tooth and nail to get a seat on a bus.

Some people seem to be extremely lucky for the moment she hops onto a bus there is a vacant seat awaiting her.

Sometimes there are seats which keep on being vacated but not the one right beside you. You wonder why...

But when you decided to leave elsewhere to have a better chance of getting a seat, the one beside you is vacant right now. How unlucky right?

In order to get a seat some people might stoop so low and they might even resort to quarreling or fighting with others.

Then again don't be surprised to know that some people are willing to give away the seats.

Some people are finally able to get a seat after resorting to all kinds of method.

The irony is...when he is finally able to sit...he has reached his destination.

When he alighted from the bus, he turned back and glanced at the bus. He reflected about what happened earlier on and he realized what he has done is not something he will be proud of.

However he acknowledged that he would still do the same thing all over again if he could turn back time. Because he believed if he didn't fight for his seat, he might not even have the chance to stand in the bus.

UNLESS you don't get onto the bus...BUT...the choice is not yours...

Even if you leave the bus, there are still lots of people in the bus heading to their destinations.

There will always be people getting in and out of the bus...it never ends...

So remember folks: life is like riding a bus. At the end of the day, we will all reach our destinations. Whether we will be happy, sad, angry, depressed or bored...it is up to us. So enjoy your bus ride folks.
