It was already half past seven and I was running late again for the dinner appointment with my wife, Eleanor. We had1to meet at the restaurant at seven o'clock. I felt a little uneasy, but to my2，I had a good excuse: A business meeting had3and I'd wasted no time getting to the dinner.
When I arrived at the4，1 apologized and told Eleanor I didn't mean to be late. She screamed, "You never mean to." Well, I5tell she was angry. "I'm sorry but it was not6," I said. Then I told her about the business meeting.7, my explanation seemed to make things worse, which started to drive8mad as well.
Several weeks later, when I9the situation to my friend Ken Hardy, he smiled, "You10a classic mistake. You're stuck11your own way of thinking. You didn't12to be late. But that's not the point. What is13in your communication is how your lateness affected Eleanor." He pointed out that I focused on the intention14Eleanor focused on the result. Thus,15of us felt misunderstood and crazy.
Thinking more about Ken's words, I16recognized the root cause of such disagreement. It's the result of the action that really17.I should have started the conversation by expressing18my actions affected Eleanor and19the discussions about my intention for later, much later and even never.
Later on, after talking to Eleanor and really20her experience of the results of my lateness, I've managed to be on time a lot more frequently.

He withdrew from many school activitieshe didn't have the time or the. He had only one good suit. He triedthe football team, but the coach turned him down for being too. During this period Dale was slowlyan inferiority complex (自卑感), which his mother knew couldhim from achieving his real potential. Shethat Dale join the debating team, believing thatin speaking could give him the confidence and recognition that he needed.
