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 .

By passing course after course he began to gain a measure of self-respect. He was a great singer and he was the school’s cross-country team.
Every time I saw him on campus, he would brighten up and say, “One bite at a time.” Whenever he introduced me to his friends, he would tell them that he was when he was supposed to be failing. His , he said, was that he was what I taught him before classes ever started: “Take it one bite at a time.”

My brother and I were driving home together .We something interesting on the way. Because of the conversation, my brother took a turn.
Unfortunately, the turn took towards a bridge and we had no way to turn back. My brother the bridge toll (通行费 ) and drove on. He was frustrated by the mistake and the needless waste of $4.
When we reached an exit slip-way, my brother that a young guy pulled over to the side of the road. I was busy trying to which way we went next when my brother pulled over and asked the guy if he needed any . And he did. He had a flat tire and needed a wrench(扳手) to get it off.
My brother him a wrench, and then began to help him the tire. The young man said that this had been a week for him; earlier he had gotten into a minor car accident, and now this flat on his way home from work. But he called us “breath of fresh air”, and kept us because he really would have been stuck we hadn’t come along.
After we had finished the job he thanked us and pulled out $20 and to give it to us. “No,” my brother said. “We were supposed to get on that bridge. Yet we took a wrong turn. But now we know we did. It was to help you. Thank you for turning our mistake into an opportunity to .”
My brother’s reaction in the situation is a(n) for everyone and we felt so good the rest of the day.

That was when my son was 6 years old. My son is now 22 but whenever I look at him even as a grown man, I remember the small child with .
Our cat was to give birth. And like all young children, my son was very interested in the birth of the babies. During the following week, he never stopped me for a chance to witness it. At last, I agreed. I answered all his questions and prepared him the best he might not be shocked or frightened.
That when my son arrived home, one baby cat had been born. He was so at what he saw that he would put his hand on the mother cat’s stomach and feel the other babies . When the mother cat began to very loudly, it was clear that the second baby was on its way. My son but never said a word. Then he asked me, “Mum, why does she cry so loudly when the baby comes?” I that it was not a hurtful pain but a pain of great pleasure the mother.
When the of the third baby was coming by the crying of the mother cat, my son hugged (拥抱) me with tears his face, saying, “Mum, I’m sorry for the I brought you to have me.” My heart almost stopped. With a(n) choice of words, I told him that his birth has brought me but smiles, and that I would like to it 100 times.
Now my son is a grown man, but he always that night, for it was on that night that he finally what the word “love” meant.
