人與人的相遇就像是一個隨機抽樣
在不同的時間空間之中……彼此相遇……
有些時候……你會發現……
你一開始最看不順眼的人竟然是你的好友……
因為你發現了他的好……
有時候……你根本不想去認識一個人……你覺得無趣
後來你卻發現……
他是你想要認識的那種人……
有時候……你非常喜歡一個人……但是你知道……
你們根本不能在一起……
愛你的人……你不愛……
你不愛的人……卻是那樣的愛你……
這複雜的習題卻又如此的跟著我們……解不開算不清
人家說在對的時間愛一個人……你是幸福的……
在錯的空間遇到一個人……你是痛苦的……
有些人你就是有一種一見如故的感受
有些人你怎樣就是說不上幾句話……
像是一部公車……大家在這一站上車……
又在另一站下車 事事總是充滿變數與未知……
曾經感情很好的朋友……即使感覺還在……
可是大家都有自己的事情而疏離
所以大家要珍惜每次都偶然邂逅
因為你根本不知道
錯過了這次
你跟他會在哪個空間在相遇……
也許 這是你們唯一一次的相遇……
要了解，也要開解；要道歉，也要道謝；
要認錯，也要改錯；要體貼，也要體諒；
是接受，而不是忍受；是寬容，而不是縱容；是支持，而不是支配；
是慰問，而不是質問；是傾訴，而不是控訴；是難忘，而不是遺忘。
是彼此交流，而不是凡事交代；
是為對方默默祈求，而不是向對方諸多要求；
可以浪漫，但不要浪費；可以隨時牽手，但不要隨便分手；
以上的都做到了，即使不再愛一個人，也只有懷念，而不會懷恨。
美國知名主持人「林克萊特」一天訪問一名小朋友，問他說：「你長大後，想要當甚麼呀？」小朋友天真的回答：「嗯！我要當飛機的駕駛員！」林克萊特接著問：「如果有一天，你的飛機飛到太平洋上空，而所有引擎都熄火了，你會怎麼辦？」小朋友想了想：「我會先告訴坐在飛機上的人綁好安全帶，然後我掛上我的降落傘跳出去。」
當現場的觀眾笑的東倒西歪時，林克萊特繼續著注視這孩子，想看他是不是自作聰明的傢伙。沒想到，接著孩子的兩行熱淚奪眶而出，這才使林克萊特發覺這孩子的悲憫之情，遠非筆墨所能形容，於是林克萊特問他說：「為甚麼要這麼做？」小孩的答案透露出一個孩子真摯的想法：「我要去拿燃料，我還要回來！」
當你聽到孩子說：「我掛上我的降落傘跳出去。」你的反應會不會是：簡直是太自私了吧？別急，聽聽他未講完的話吧！「我要去拿燃料，我還要回來……」多麼讓人感動的一句話！當你聽到別人說話時，你真的聽懂他說的意思嗎？你懂嗎？如果不懂，就請聽別人把話說完吧！
這就是「聽的藝術」。
有的人常常將別人的話只聽一半，就急著說我知道，急著表達自己的看法，還有的人，常常將自己的意思，硬套在別人所說的話上頭……
國王有七個女兒，這七位美麗的公主是國王的驕傲。
她們那一頭烏黑亮麗的長髮遠近皆知，
所以國王送給她們每人一百個漂亮的髮夾。
每一天早上，大公主醒來，一如往常地用髮夾整理她的秀髮，
卻發現少了一個髮夾，於是她偷偷地到了二公主的房裡，
拿走了一個髮夾。二公主發現少了一個髮夾，
便到三公主房裡拿走一個髮夾；三公主發現少了一個髮夾，
也偷偷地拿走四公主的一個髮夾；
四公主如法炮製拿走了五公主的髮夾；
五公主一樣拿走六公主的髮夾；
六公主只好拿走七公主的髮夾；
於是，七公主的髮夾只剩下九十九個。
隔天，鄰國英俊的王子忽然來到皇宮，
他對國王說：「昨天我養的百靈鳥叼回了一個髮夾，
我想這一定是屬於公主們的，而這也真是一種奇妙的緣分，
不曉得是哪位公主掉了髮夾？」公主們聽到了這件事，
都在心裡想說：「是我掉的，是我掉的。」
可以頭上明明完整的別著一百個髮夾，所以都懊惱得很，
卻說不出。只有七公主走出來說：「我掉了一個髮夾。」
話才說完，一頭漂亮的長髮因為少了一個髮夾，
全部披散了下來，王子不由得看呆了。
故事的結局，想當然的是王子與公主從此一起過著幸福快樂的日子。
為什麼一有缺憾就拼命去捕足？
一百個髮夾，就像是完美圓滿的人生，少了一個髮夾，
這個圓滿就有了缺憾；但正因缺憾，
未來就有了無限的轉機，無限的可能性，
何嘗不是一件值得高興的事！
人生不可免的缺憾，你怎樣面對呢？
逃避不一定躲得過，面對不一定最難受；
孤單不一定不快樂，得到不一定能長久；
失去不一定不再有，轉身不一定最軟弱。
別急著說別無選擇，別以為世上只有對與錯，
許多事情的答案都不是只有一個，
所以，我們永遠有路可以走。
你能找個理由難過，也一定能找到快樂。
懂得放心的人找到輕鬆，
懂得遺忘的人找到自由，
懂得關懷的人找到朋友。
天冷不是冷，心寒才是寒，
願您的心都是暖暖的……
雖然鬧鐘響時我會懊惱，會拉棉被蓋住頭。
我要感謝上蒼，因為我能聽得到。
有好多人耳聾。
雖然我還是閉著眼睛，厭惡清晨的陽光，
我要感謝上蒼，因為我能看到。
有好多人眼瞎。
雖然我賴床不想起身，
感謝上蒼我有能力站起來。
有好多人需終生睡在床上。
雖然這一天剛開始就一塌糊塗，襪子找不到，
稀飯溢得到處都是，小孩又吵又鬧，每個人火氣都很大。
感謝上蒼，我有一個家。
孤寂的人到處都是。
雖然我們的餐桌從來沒有像雜誌的圖片那樣，
早餐也是拼拼湊湊。
感謝上蒼賜給我們食物。
飢餓的人是那麼多。
雖然我的工作枯燥乏味，常常千篇一律。
我還是要感謝上蒼。我有工作機會。
失業的人好多好多。
雖然我常抱怨、感嘆命運不好。
感謝上蒼賜給了我生命。
不知道這篇短文對你有什麼影響。
我看完之後，曾閉上眼睛好好的思索了一會兒。
我想到在同一個辦公室裡，薪水一樣的同事，
為什麼有的人比較快樂，充滿活力？
為什麼經濟狀況近似的家庭夫妻恩愛，親子關係，
小孩的笑容完全不同，幸福指數的差異會這麼大？
卡內基有卅條方法幫助人克服憂慮、壓力，
其中一條就是--盤算一下你的福氣。
不幸的是我們常盤算自己不如意之處。
我也突然想到這些年來接觸到的公司，
無論是中小企業或大集團，包括新興的高科技公司，
印象裡，凡是企業文化中帶有感恩與分享的公司，
氣氛常較好，遇到挫折、低潮常能站起來。
在困難來臨的時候，反而能從中找到機會看到希望。
最後我還想告訴你一件有趣的事。
作者希望我把這篇短文傳給所有的朋友，包括他本人在內。
我想他一定是希望自己能認真作到感恩，
所以需要再次的提醒。
可見知道一個理念還不夠，需要活出那理念才行。
要想活更有意義的生命，需要常常與好朋友分享。
你是我的好朋友，你也有很多好朋友。多好。
英國皇家海軍有一次招考雇員，只試題目為：在一個大風雪的夜晚，你開著一輛車，經過一個車站，有三個人在等車；一個是快病死的老太太，一個是救過你命的醫生，一個是你夢寐以求的情人。你會載那一個？說明你的理由。想一下，先別急著看下文。
我不曉得這是不是性向測驗，因為每個答案都對。老太太快病死，救人第一，沒錯！人老了總是要死，救老太太後過不了多久還不是得死，不如載醫生，因為醫生救過我，如同再造父母趁機會報答他，也對。可是有些人認為醫生的救命之恩可以來日再報，但是錯過夢寐以求的情人可能一輩子再也碰不到，所以要載夢寐以求的情人。
二百多位應徵者，錄取的那一位沒有申論說明，只有答案。「把車的鑰匙交給醫生，讓醫生載老太太去醫院，我留下來陪夢寐以求的情人等車。」怎麼樣？很棒的答案吧！你一定「慧心」一笑。以前我經常當笑話來講給朋友聽，可是我突然發現每個人都幾乎認同錄取者的答案是最好的，但是居然沒人能事先說出同樣的答案（包括我自己）。是不是考試制度讓我們習慣受限制？還是因為我們貪婪的把持利益不願放手（車的鑰匙在我手上）？在某些情況下我們放棄執著、限制與利益是不是會得到的會更多？
Penny is the name of a woman who died recently, after a long, very courageous and remarkable battle with cancer. One beautiful sunny Sunday in August, a month before she passed away, the Pastor announced that Penny wanted to say something to the congregation. This brave and remarkable woman stood up, back straight, not even a slight limp or hesitation. I was awestruck at how beautiful she looked as she stood before us. Her skin was flawless, her smile perfect, her eyes were clear, speech concise. Everything about her was calm, peaceful, and absolutely blissful in a heavenly way. I have to say, she was what one would think of when they hear the word "angelic."
She thanked everyone for praying for her. You had the feeling when she spoke that she was in acceptance of her situation. She made us all feel that her impending death, although sad and hard to accept, was perfectly fine. Perhaps she was giving us permission to not suffer as she had. Acceptance and happiness is what she portrayed as she said the last thing she was able to say to the entire congregation. "Please, do not be upset, just continue your prayers. And be happy for me. I am going home to sweet Jesus." At that point, tears that were previously welling in many eyes, became flowing rivers of tears... one could hear a pin drop in the church as some quietly wept for the peace and happiness she made us all feel for her that day.
Penny.....a shining example for us all to remember. I would love her to know that her story perhaps helped even one other person. That someone who is sick and dying could suddenly realize that going home to sweet Jesus is not the end result of their illness. A new beginning is on their horizon... a life eternal is what we are promised and what God's son gave his life for on the cross.
Perhaps you have a loved one who has died, or is dying and are having a hard time accepting what surely is devastating. Remember my shining example, please. That your loved one, like my Penny, is or has gone home to our Sweet Lord. Please let this bring you comfort, peace and a final happiness to your heart.
In a world where death seems common, may we all find peace and happiness in our Lord God, and a life eternal. May we all feel His blessings.
THE most important messages that humans deliver to one another often come in just three words. Think of "I love you" or "There's no charge" or "And in conclusion."
One of the phrases that I have found most useful is this: "I'll be there."
I'll be there. If you've ever had to call a plumber over a weekend, you know how good these words can feel. If you've heard them after being stranded on the road with car trouble and used your last coins to call a friend, you've known feeling too.
"Grandma, I'm graduating in June!" I'll be there.
"Honey, I'm stuck at the office and can't get to the airport to meet my sister!" I'll be there.
"Mom, the baby cries all night, and if I don't get some sleep I'll perish! I'll be there.
One person who really knows how to "be there" is Elizabeth, the Queen Mother of England. During the Blitz on London in 1940, she was asked whether the little princesses, Elizabeth and Margaret Rose, would leave England for their safety. The queen replied:
"The children will not leave unless I do. I shall not leave unless their father does, and the king will not leave the country in any circumstances whatever."
I'll be there.
Another important three-word phrase is one of the hardest to learn to say -- I know it was for me. It is: Maybe you're right.
If more people would say "maybe you're right," the marriage counselors would go out of business. I know from experience it can have a disarming effect in an argument. When we're so hung up on getting our own way that we won't concede on any point, we do ourselves a real disservice.
I must have heard the next phrase a thousand times when I was a little girl and faced a hard decision. Turning to my nanny, I'd ask what I should do. Her responses was always the same: Your heart knows.
"My heart knows?" I would grumble. "What's that supposed to mean? I need advice here. I need you to tell me what to do."
She would just smile and say, "Your heart knows, honey. Your heart knows,"
But I was an imperious child. I would throw my hand on my hip and say, "Maybe so, but my isn't talking."
To this she would respond, "Learn to listen." People may suggest what we should do, but for the most part no one will accept responsibility for our mistakes. We have to make out own choices. That's when we need to listen. Your heart knows.
Psychologists call this "turning in to ourselves." Spiritual leaders call it "turning to a higher power." What ever you call it, you have the ability to find the right answers for your life. It's a powerful gift -- but you have to learn to use it.
it took me a long time, but I learned that life doesn't come with a plan. To some extent the page is blank. You may have a rough outline of where you are going, but you won't get there without making some tough decisions. To this end, you may find these simple, yet profound, words helpful:
I'll be there.
Maybe you're right.
Your heart knows.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I am saved"
I'm whispering "I get lost!"
"That is why I chose this way."
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need someone to be my guide.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
and pray for strength to carry on.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and cannot ever pay the debt.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
my flaws are too visible
but God believes I'm worth it.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
which is why I seek His name.
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority.
I only know I'm loved.
"And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, conform, strengthen and establish you." (I Peter 5:10)
