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。

Just listen
I think the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our 16 ，and especially if it’s given from the 17 ．When people are talking，there’s no need to do anything but 18 them．Just take them 19 ．Listen to what they’re saying．Care about it．Most times caring about it is even more important than 20 it．
One of my patients told me that when she 21 to tell her story，people often 22 to tell her that they had once had something just like what happened to her．Her pain became a story about themselves． 23 she stopped talking to most people．It was just too 24 ．We connect through listening．When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand，we move the 25 of attention to ourselves．But when we listen，they know we care．
I have ever learned to 26 to someone crying by just listening．in the old days I used to reach for the tissues （纸巾） 27 I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them 28 ，to take them out of their 29 of sadness and pain. Now I just listen．When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there 30 them．
This 31 thing has not been that easy to learn．It certainly went against everything I had been 32 since I was very young at school．I thought people listened only because they were too 33 to speak or did not know the answer．A loving silence often has far more 34 to connect than the most well-intentioned 35 ．

Love cures people—both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.
——Dr. Karl Menninger
I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a major insurance company. I told him 41 that the main reason why I was 42 with them was my need to keep my family in Boston. My wife of 26 years old had recently died of a heart attack . A(n) 43 in Boston would also help me reduce some of the pain of the loss. Bruce ,the interviewer ,was politely sympathetic, and didn’t probe(探查) any 44 .He acknowledged my loss and ,with great respect ,moved on to another 45 .
After the next 46 of interview , Bruce took me to lunch with another manager .Then he asked me to take a 47 with him. He told me that he , 48 , had lost his wife .And he had also been married 20 years and had three children. In his sharing, I realized that he had 49 the same pain 50 I had , a pain that was almost 51 to explain to someone who had not 52 a loved 53 . He offered his business card and home phone number and 54 that, if I needed help or just wanted someone to 55 , I should feel 56 to give him a call. No matter whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that he was there if I 57 needed any help.
From that one act of kindness, when he had no idea 58 we would see each other again, he helped me 59 one of life’s greatest losses. He turned the normally 60 business interview process into an act of caring and support for another person in a time of need.

My mom is a teacher．She finds a lesson in everything．I was watching Sesame Street by my second birthday so I’d 16 my ABCs and 123s．Our weekly family trips to the library began when I was three．And my mom had me spotting （认出） the historical markers with childlike 17 on family vacations by the time I was six．For her, life was all about learning．But the biggest lesson she 18 me was never to let my 19 define who I am, and never forget what is 20 in life．
I was born with Freeman-Sheldon Syndrome, an extremely 21 genetic bone and muscular disorder．There are only about 100 reported 22 ．At birth, my knees were bent more than 90 degrees, and I had my first surgery to 23 them when I was just six weeks old．This surgery was the first of many in my 24 ．I’d had 26 surgeries by the time I was 15．

Every night before I go to bed, I 33 my mom for everything, for all the great help she’s given me．And 34 I get older, I know that “Thanks, Mom” is about so much more than the physical assistance．And that’s 35 matters the most．

Knowing how much her own children loved presents at Christmas, Ann Sutton, a social worker, always tried to seek help for one or two poor families. This year, Kinzie, Ann’s seven-year-old daughter, was 31 that Santa Claus would make a special visit to a young mother named Ashley who worked in a factory and was 32 her 12-month-old son, Evan, and her 12-year-old brother, Kenny, by herself.
At a 33 dinner, the phone rang. A representative from a local charity was calling to say that the 34 Ann had requested for Ashley had been cancelled. No Santa Claus, no presents, nothing. Ann saw the cheer fade away from her children's faces at the news. Without a word, she 35 down from her chair and ran from the room. Now, it didn't feel much 36 Christmas anymore. Kinzie returned, her face set with determination. She had opened up her piggy 37 , and now she counted out the coins and broken dollar 38 , one by one, onto the dining table: $3.30. Everything she had.
“Mom,” she told Ann, “I know it's not much. 39 maybe this will buy a present for the baby.”
Then 40 everyone was reaching into pockets and purses. Adding to Kinzie's gift became a game, with everyone 41 for loose change. By the time the search ended, there was a small mountain of bills and a neat pile of coins. The 42 : $130, plenty for a Christmas for three. “God multiplied your gift,” Ann said to Kinzie.
That evening, Kinzie went with her mother and sister to 43 the money.
On Christmas Eve, Ann 44 through the pouring rain to the small cottage where the family lived. When Ashley opened the door, Ann stood under her umbrella and 45 the astonished woman a merry Christmas. Then she began to 46 the gifts from the car, handing them to Ashley one by one. Ashley laughed in disbelief, and still the presents came. Ann abandoned the umbrella, and the young woman joined her in the rain, passing gifts 47 to Kenny. “Please, can I open up just one tonight?” he begged. Soon both women were 48 to the skin, and surprise had turned to something 49 , the kind of joy that brought them close to tears.
Reflecting on a little girl's generosity, Ashley says she hopes she'll one day be able to do something similar for someone else in 50 . “Kinzie could have used that money for herself, but she gave it away,” Ashley says. “She's the type of kid I'd like my son to grow up to be.”
