Yesterday I was shopping with my 5-year old daughter a group of punk rockers walked by with orange spiked hair and tattoos much of their bodies . At the sight of them , my daughter immediately asked me , “ Daddy , why are they like that ? ” Years ago I would have felt very with such young people . I would have given a judgmental explanation and passed along to her my . However , that day I said to my daughter , “ I’m not really sure , but it’s interesting how we all are , isn’t it ? ” She said , “ Yeah , I like my own hair . ”
Actually , I was pretending to be an anthropologist . Anthropology（人类学）is a science which deals with man and his social habits . I think of anthropology here as “ being interested , without , in the way other people choose to live and . ” – When you are curious about the way someone behaves or the way they feel about something , it’s that you will be annoyed .
When someone acts in a way that seems to you , rather than react in your usual way , such as “ I can’t believe they would do that , ” say something to yourself like “ I see , that must be the way they things in their world . Very interesting . ” In order for this to help you , you have to be genuine as I tried that day . I my perspective from the bottom of my heart . And that made me .
When you are interested in other perspectives , it doesn’t mean you’re them . I certainly wouldn’t choose a punk rock lifestyle or it to anyone else . At the same time , however , it’s really not my to judge it either . One of the most important rules of joyful living is that judging others takes a great deal of energy and you away from where you want to be .

One very cold and rainy night in the winter of 2012, my husband and I were in a fast food restaurant. We were about to begin our meal 36 a man walked in. He was completely 37 from the rain and went into the men's room.
I watched him go by, then I said to my husband, "That man must have had nothing to eat in a long time." When the man came out of the men's room, he just 38 himself in a chair, not going anywhere near the food counter. I 39 that he didn't have any money for food and 40 wanted to dry off for a while.
I just couldn't eat my food knowing that someone else was sitting 41 only a few tables away. So, I 42 a $20.00 bill from my shopping money to my husband. "Please get him dinner," I said. "We can do with less money this week."
My husband 43 the man and quietly asked if he needed some food. The man 44 at us. "A small cup of coffee would be great," he said. "Thank you so much!" He 45 wasn't going to take advantage of us, but we 46 that he should have a full meal, which he gratefully(感激地) 47 .
After he 48 the food, he thanked my husband and my husband said, "No. Thank my 49 . She noticed that you were 50 ."
The man asked me, " 51 did you know I haven't eaten in a long time?" I smiled at him and said nothing , just asking him to 52 the change(零钱) from the $20.00.
Giving others a 53 whenever they’re in trouble not only brings happiness to the ones who 54 it but also to the ones who give it. I am so grateful that I was able to 55 with someone truly in need. It is a little bit of extra warmth on a rainy day.
