In a food store I heard a woman say her foot was hurting and that she was going to call a cab. When walking back home, I saw her outside the store, probably for a cab.
I asked her where she was going. She told me a place which was actually on the to the craft store I’d be to. So I asked her to the cab and I’d give her a ride. To my , she said okay without . I wonder if I’d have been so if a stranger made me the same offer!
Where she was going was on the way to where I was going. It was such a interaction. But there was more!
When I had what I went for and was waiting at the checkout, the woman behind me said she had a coupon（优惠券）for 50% off any in the store. She gave it to me because she had a（n） one! I thanked her and gave her a card.
They say “what goes around comes around”, but sometimes it is hard to see how that as there is often a “manifestation（显现）delay”. Each action a ripple （涟漪）that eventually back to us, but sometimes it is much so we forget their connection.
Today the causes and effects have appeared in a linkable manner in . I’m also opening myself to receiving gifts, now or in the future. I can learn so much from others as to how they are to receive gifts in a way I might not have been if the same.

A young school teacher had a dream that an angel appeared to him and said，" You will be given a child who will grow up to become a world . How will you prepare her so that she will realize her intelligence, develop both her confidence and sensitivity, be open-minded, yet
in character? In short, what kind of education will you
so that she can become one of the world's truly great leaders?"
The young teacher in a cold sweat. It had never occurred to him before-any one of his present or future students could be the person
in his dream. Was he preparing them to reach any position which they may
？ He thought，" How might my
change if I knew that one of my students were this person?" He
began to formulate （规划；想出）a plan in his mind.
This student would experience as well as instruction. She would need to know how to solve problems of various kinds. She would need to know the value of lifelong learning in order to keep a curious and
mind.
His teaching . Every young person who walked through his
became, for him, a future world leader. He saw each one, not
they were, but he treated them as if they would be the world leaders. He
the best from his students, yet tempered （使缓和）it with pity. He taught each one as if the future of the
depended on his instruction.
After many years, a woman he knew to a position of world fame. He realized that she must
have been the girl de-scribed in his dream. Only she was not one of his
，but his daughter. For of all the
teachers in her life, her father was the best.
Where and how you will this child is a mystery. But believe that one child's future may depend upon the influence only you can provide, and something remarkable will happen.

Like poorly managed stress, anger that isn’t handled in a healthy way can be not only uncomfortable, but even damaging to one’s health and personal life. Consider the following research on anger:
One study from the University of Washington School of Nursing studied problems in husbands and wives. Researchers cited(引用) previous evidence that anger problems and depressive symptoms have been linked to all major
of death, but found that wives specifically found a greater association between anger and
of depression,
men tended to instead experience an
between anger and health problems.
According to a study from Ohio State University, those who had less control over their anger to heal more slowly from wounds. Researchers gave blisters(起疱膏) to 98 participants and found that, after 8 days, those who had less control over their anger also tended to be
healers.
, those participants also tended to have more cortisol (a stress hormone) in their system during the blistering procedure,
that they may be more stressed by difficult situations as well.
study from Harvard School of Public Health studied hostility(敌对行为) in men and found that those with
rates of hostility not only had poorer pulmonary functioning (breathing problems), but experienced higher rates of decline as they aged.
Research with children and shows that anger
is important for the younger set as well. Findings showed that youth who cope inappropriately with their anger are at greater
for problem-ridden(受…支配的) interpersonal relationships. Their
is also at risk; those who cope poorly with anger tend to have more negative
when it comes to both mental and general health. This highlights the fact that anger management is an important skill to
early.
These are just a few of the many studies linking anger to and emotional health problems, from the obvious to the
. Because poorly managed anger presents such a significant problem in so many areas of life, it’s important to take steps toward learning and using healthy anger management techniques in daily life,
