Relationships are hard. It doesn't matter whether it is a relationship two workmates, a doctor and a patient, a mother and her child or a couple. The fact is, it is a relationship involving people, there will always be conflicts once in a while because human beings are complicated（复杂的）．
I guess even in the animal kingdom there are complications, too. For instance, just last weekend l thought my neighbor's cows were .They like standing outside our gate where there is a huge tree they use to themselves from the burning sun. Anyway, it was quite that the grey cow was angry about something and since I didn't “cows", I couldn't tell what she was complaining about. My guess was that one of the other cows had done/said something to . her because there was one cow she kept ”addressing".
I guess this goes to tat as long as one is breathing (man or animal), misunderstandings and .will always happen, regardless of whether it is at home or at the office, until one is finally ．
The is how you handle your displeasure. How do you conduct your arguments? What words do you use7 After the argument, do you ever sit back and probably anything that you might have said in anger? I ask this I know for a fact that when you are angry, the likelihood of having the best you'll ever regret is very high. The words you speak to someone can either build them up, or break them down, or start
a in their heart or put it out completely. That is how words are. Words have the power to or destroy.
If you do not want to hurt those you come into with, remember to be careful with your words because once they are ,they can only be forgiven, not forgotten。

She showed me a list of tunes, and I a family favorite. “Thank you, Jacquelyn,” Sister said, “Next, please.”
After a while, when the other children studied music, Sister looked kindly at me. “Jacquelyn, have you heard the expression tone-deaf? It means you think you are singing is from the music.” Sister patted my hand. “ , it’s nothing to be ashamed of, dear. You can take part in it. You may mouth the words, but no . Do you understand what I’m saying?”
All right. But I was so . After school I took the bus straight to Aunt Dolly’s house for help. “What will I do?” I sobbed. “If I don’t sing, will think I don’t love him.”
She thought hard. Finally her eyes grew . “I’ve got it!” she said. “I will wear my hat!” She her brown eyes on my face. Her voice . “Jacquelyn, I’m about to a bit of secret information about angels, but first you must swear that you will never tell a soul.”
“When I was in Rome,” she said, “I overheard a conversation. It seems that other tone-deaf people also have about God not understanding their in song. They were told that a simple piece of aluminum foil(锡纸) hid in the hat can help. Your silent words off the foil. Angels capture the words and they carry up to God.”
At the performance, I did just as told to. With my eyes on her hat, the fact that none present could hear my voice didn’t . My silent singing was for God’s ears .

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so, I find the article on the side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to in good health, or about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text the title. Therefore, the scissors would before they start, .halfway done when I find out the result.
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your .You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be up. But you know the future is unpredictable(不可预料) — the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left . Thus you are in a difficult position and feel sad. How that nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.
In fact that is what is like: we are often with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only we get into another. The may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I remember a philosopher's remarks, “When one door shuts, another opens in life.” So a casual(不经意) may not be a bad one.
