感恩一切 Thanks for Everything
My wife, Shirley, and I have gone on vacations to a quiet beach in southwestern Florida for most of our married life. If that beach could talk, it would tell of teenage newlyweds who sunned and wrote "I love you" on its sands. It would tell of a little girl with eyes the color of the sea gathering seashells and of three wild boys leaping and diving into the surf. It would tell of joyous visits over the years from friends, parents, Grandparents, new brides and grooms -- and now grandchildren. The beach would tell glorious tales of warmth and gratitude.
But I realized one day that I had rarely expressed my gratitude to the one who'd lived those years with me. On our 40th wedding anniversary, Shirley and I walked again the familiar margin of the sea. I told her then how thankful I was that she shared my life.
We don't have to wait for anniversaries to thank the ones closest to us -- the ones so easily overlooked. If I have learned anything about giving thanks, it is this: Give it now! While your feeling of appreciation is alive and sincere, act on it. Saying thanks is such an easy way to add to the world's happiness.
A few years ago, a young woman from a neighboring town won a scholarship to a prestigious college. Although the inner-city high school she attended was plagued with problems, she overcame them and excelled. When she graduated, she commended the often-maligned school for its challenging courses and her teachers for their special interest and encouragement. "I can't say enough good things about the school and the teachers who gave me so much of themselves," she said. "I shall be eternally grateful to them."
Saying thanks not only brightens someone else's world, it brightens yours. If you're feeling left out, unloved or unappreciated, try reaching out to others. It may be just the medicine you need.
Before A. J. Cronin became a bestselling author, he was a doctor. Once he told about a colleague who gave an unusual prescription to patients afflicted with worry, fear, discouragement or self-doubt. The doctor called it his thank-you cure. "For six weeks I want you to say thank you whenever anyone does you a favor. And to show you mean it, emphasize the words with a smile." Within six weeks most of the doctor's patients showed great improvement.
Of course, there are times when you can't express gratitude immediately. In that case don't let embarrassment sink you into silence -- speak up the first time you have the chance.
I recently returned home to Montpelier, Ohio, for a short visit. Memories of my boyhood flooded back as I walked the familiar streets. Then I saw Mrs. Bible, and my mind flashed back to high ected by
I was a freshman, more interested in sports than school work, and I was falling behind in my Latin class. Then Violet Bible, a neighbor who was a schoolteacher, found out about my problem. "Oh, Latin's great fun," she told me. "Come over tonight after dinner and I'll show you." For the next several weeks, she tutored me until I could conjugate with the best of them -- well, almost. Anyway, I passed. At the callow age of 14 it seemed perfectly natural to me that a working wife and mother had nothing better to do after a hard day's work than tutor me in Latin.
Now as I saw her, I realized what an uncommon sacrifice it had been. And, after all those years, I told her so! "What you did was way beyond the call of duty," I said. "Thank you." I was rewarded with a surprised smile and a sparkle in her eyes.
Each human being is yearning for kind words of appreciation. In December 1991, 17-year-old Candi Brown's car overturned; the roof collapsed and crushed her skull. The crews of Engine Company 8 and Med 15 in Grayson, Ga., rushed her to Gwinnett Medical Center. Doctors told her parents to prepare for the worst. But Candi survived. A year later the family served a holiday dinner to the Gwinnett County firefighters and emergency medical technicians. During dinner Candi, whose goal is to walk naturally again, rose painfully and said, "Thank you for helping God save my life and giving me a second chance. I love you."
The Most Important Body Part 身體最重要的部分
My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would guess at what I thought was the correct answer.
從前我母親經常問我，身體最重要的部位是什麼。許多年來，我一直以爲自己所想的是正確答案。
When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy."
當我很小的時候，我認爲對人類而言，聲音很重要，因此回答：“媽咪，是耳朵。”
She said, "No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."
她說：“不對，有許多人是聾人。但是你繼續想，不久我會再問你。”
Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes."
當她再度問我時，已經是好幾年後了。自從第一次回答之後，我就一直仔細的思考正確答案。所以這次我對她說：“媽咪，視覺對每個人都很重要，所以應該是我們的眼睛。”
She looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind."
她看着我，對我說：“你學的很快，但還是不對，因爲有許多人是盲人。”
Over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, "No, but
you are getting smarter every year, my child."
往後的年日裏她又問了我幾次，但她總是回答：“不對，可是孩子啊，你每年都有進步喔。”
Then last year, my Grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"
去年我祖父去世，每個人都很傷心，大家都哭了。輪到我們向爺爺做最後的告別時，媽媽看着我，問我：“寶貝，你知道身體最重要的部位了嗎?”
I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived your life." I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder."
她在這時候問我這個問題，令我嚇了一大跳。我一直以爲這只是我和她之間的遊戲。她看我一臉迷惑的樣子，對我說：“這問題很重要，它是你真正理解生活的標誌。”我看她眼睛裏充盈着淚水，她說：“寶貝，最重要的部位是你的肩膀。”
I asked, "Is it because it holds up your head?"
我問：“是因爲它能支撐腦袋嗎?”
She replied, "No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry on when you need it."
她回答說：“不，是因爲讓我們的朋友、我們所愛的人哭泣的時候，它可以給予依靠。寶貝，每個人在一生中都會有需要一個可以靠着哭泣的肩膀的時候。我只是希望當你需要時，會有足夠的愛人和朋友，給你一個可倚靠哭泣的肩膀。”
Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one. It is sympathetic to the pain of others.
從那時起，我知道身體最重要的部位不是利己的部位，而是對別人的痛苦能感同身受的部位。
