英文哲理故事 7
Our Mood Belong to Others
Most of us holdthat our moods are of ourselves. Actually, our moods belong to others. For along time, I did not feel well and always upset. My wife forted me and askedme to see the doctor. “Your condition does matter to yourself. On othercondition, how can you make kids feel well when you are not feeling well? Anothertime, I was so annoyed with the talking of my father. My wife explaining again:“You’d better offer your sincere. As for how to do, you are the master. What weshould do is just make them happy.” I deeply regretted for my bad manners.
Man got his ownmood ever since his birth. While young, we cried when we hungry and neverpretended our secrets. As we grew up, we realized that we can hide our mod andadjust it. It is just like a mask.
To be honest, themood is our own business, and can express in the way we like to. In fact, sinceyour mood has an influence on others, your mood belongs to others, too. If youhold your mod as others’, then you will be more responsible and less headstrong, more understanding and less stubborn, more care and less selfish, moreharmony and less dispute.
翻譯:情緒是別人的
好多人認(rèn)為情緒是自我的`,其實(shí),情緒還是別人的一段時(shí)光,我身體不是很好,感覺煩燥,妻子對我說,身體不好就去看,你這樣對身體也沒好處啊!你不高興,喊和孩子能高興嗎?還有一次,父親說話,我感覺煩.妻子說,既然父親說了,你就答應(yīng),至于你怎樣做,還不是你說了算,我們能為老人做什么.只能讓他們高興.我也為此深感內(nèi)疚.
人剛出生就有了情緒.那時(shí),餓了就哭,不隱瞞情緒.長大后明白了,情緒能夠掩蓋,能夠調(diào)節(jié),這才有了面具之說.
按說情緒是自我的,自我能夠想怎樣就怎樣,但其實(shí),因?yàn)槟愕那榫w而影響了別人情緒,從這個(gè)好處上說,情緒就是別人的如果你能把情緒當(dāng)作是別人的,也許就會(huì)多一份職責(zé),少一份任性;多一份理解,少一份固執(zhí);多一份關(guān)愛,少一份自私;多一份和諳,少一份紛爭.

Modesty is a Double-edgedSword
In his universitytime, 馬克·赫德 was nominatedto campaign for the chairman of the Student Union. Tough very confident, helost the chance for his over modesty and caution when answering questions. Thishad a bad influence on him when he graduated and seeked his job.
Still dismay,though he was appointed by 惠普公司 with excellent ability. He considered fora long time and then came to a conclusion----he was confused by theso----called modesty. Later, for his outstanding ability, he became the CEO.
The other day,the board called him to represent the board meeting. Mark felt the same sceneas ever. The reason that the board let Mark e the CEO was that there were someproblems in publicity and sale.
The samequestion: Are you confident to de better job for 惠普? Then Mark gavethe opposite reply than the last time. He said: “it is undoubted that I can promises.At least be better than now. ”
In fact, aftertrials of tests, Mark did an excellent job. Ever since his nomination, 惠普 pany produced varies styles of product.
Throughselecting mediums, decreasing cost, pay attention to publicity, the pany’ssales grew steadily.
When beinginterviewed, the holder asked: “Someone think you are gentle, knowledge, wiseand modest. We would like to know your opinion.”
Mark expressed hisunderstanding on “modesty”. He insisted that unreasonable modesty is adouble-edged sword, which may destroy his future.
He said that tobe really modest, keep three points in mind:
Firstly, modestyis not to deny yourself, for it let you lose the chance and feel regret.
Secondly, modestyis to evaluate yourself below your ability umber. For instance, if you can getA, then be sure you can get B+.
Lastly, modestyis not to say “actually, everyone can do that so as you work had” to answerothers’ praise.
翻譯:謙遜是把雙刃劍
大學(xué)時(shí)代,馬克·赫德曾被一位老師提名競爭學(xué)生會(huì)主席.盡管他信心十足,但由于他在回答校方提問時(shí)表現(xiàn)得過于謙遜和謹(jǐn)慎,以致與這個(gè)職位失之交臂,且在畢業(yè)就業(yè)時(shí)受此影響,未能進(jìn)入心儀的公司.
雖然馬克最終以自我出色的潛力被惠普公司聘用,但是他依舊覺得沮喪.他反思了許久,得出了一個(gè)結(jié)論-自我被所謂的“謙遜”迷惑.失去去了最好的機(jī)會(huì).之后,馬克憑著自我的潛力,出任了惠普的CEO.
那天,董事會(huì)來電話,要他參加董事會(huì)議.馬克覺得會(huì)上場景似曾相識.董事們有意讓馬克接任惠普的CEO,因?yàn)樵诋a(chǎn)品宣傳與銷售問匙上,惠普遇到了難題.
同樣一個(gè)問題:你有信心把惠普做得更好嗎?
馬克給出了與上一次不一樣的回答.他說:“這是毫無疑問的,至少我保證,狀況不會(huì)像此刻這么糟糕!”
事實(shí)上,透過考驗(yàn)的馬克,表現(xiàn)出了極強(qiáng)的個(gè)人潛力.自從他出任CEO后,惠普產(chǎn)品多面開花,透過篩選渠道,減少成本,加大宣傳,經(jīng)營業(yè)績穩(wěn)步增長.
在理解電視采訪的時(shí)候,主持人問:“有人說,你的形象是儒雅,知性,睿智,謙遜的的怎樣看?”馬克著重就“謙遜”談了自我的'見解.他認(rèn)為,不恰當(dāng)?shù)摹爸t遜”是把雙刃劍,往往會(huì)斷了“謙遜者”的發(fā)展之路.
馬克說:“要做到真正的謙遜,需要明白三點(diǎn):
首先,謙遜不是自我否定,自我否定只能讓你與機(jī)會(huì)擦肩而過并留下惋惜. 其次,謙遜就是把話說到你的潛力值以下,比如你能考A,那么先肯定自我能考B+.
最后,謙遜不是在應(yīng)對別人質(zhì)疑.或者應(yīng)對問題的時(shí)候說‘哦,我想我辦不到’,而是懂得抓住機(jī)會(huì).成功之后,應(yīng)對別人的贊美時(shí)說:‘其實(shí)沒什么,只
要努力,每個(gè)人都能做到!”’

Later, he knew what this studentplained. He told with smile: “This is the method I have learnt, a hard andtroublesome way. If that kid could make full use of those books, he might knowhis question and maybe a good lawyer in the future.”
This 90-year-old man was 龐德, who was the president of law college in HawardUniversity.
Once a philosophist said: “You should dosome thing that you don not want to every one or two days.”

翻譯:容易走的都是下坡路
他在一所大學(xué)做教授,90歲的時(shí)候,荏苒每一天堅(jiān)持工作8小時(shí),不論春秋冬夏,也不論風(fēng)霜雨雪.
他的秘書說:“他很衰弱,但是每一天逼著自我從住的地方走過兩個(gè)街口到辦公室來,這段路要走一個(gè)小時(shí),他卻必須要走,因?yàn)檫@使他自覺有成就感.”
有一天,有個(gè)大學(xué)生從他辦公室里出來,捧著一大堆書,一臉不高興的抱怨:“總是這一套.我問一個(gè)和簡單的問題,他能夠用一個(gè)’是’或’否’回答,卻給我十幾本書,說能夠在這些書里找到我所要的'答案.”
他之后明白了這個(gè)學(xué)生的抱怨,微笑著說:“這就是我學(xué)到的讀書方法,艱難費(fèi)事的方法.那孩子如能好好的鉆研這些書,就能夠了解這個(gè)問題,將來也許能成為一個(gè)好律師.”
這個(gè)90歲的老人就是曾任美國哈佛大學(xué)法學(xué)院院長的龐德.
有一位哲學(xué)家說:“你就應(yīng)每一兩天做一些你不想做的事.”
這是人生進(jìn)步的基礎(chǔ).
正如另一位哲人所說“容易走的都是下坡路.”

翻譯:看著前方
一個(gè)朋友對我說:“當(dāng)你憂傷時(shí),請看著前方.”
說來也怪,每當(dāng)自我憂傷時(shí),我很少看著前方,不是低低垂首,就是閉目不瞻,即便抬頭仰望星空,也是越看越茫然.憂傷時(shí),自我的視野真的窄了.
這個(gè)朋友有一個(gè)冰雪聰明的女兒,美麗得像朵舞蹈著的花,但她完全看不到外邊的世界.朋友以前悲哀欲絕,但沒有人能夠幫忙到他療傷,是殘酷的生活教會(huì)他看著前方,發(fā)現(xiàn)和擁有那些前行一段路程才能得到的喜悅.
看著前方,他看到已經(jīng)長大的女兒--她更加漂亮乖巧,學(xué)會(huì)了自我照顧自我;她穿上了黑色的練功服、白色的舞蹈鞋,黑黑的頭發(fā)盤得高高的,用發(fā)光的發(fā)帶豎了起來;她時(shí)刻微笑著,那是匯集在她嘴角的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)明媚的春光;她變得堅(jiān)強(qiáng)睿智,能夠自食其力,如她所愿,果真成了一名受人歡迎的`舞蹈老師...
我們敲門時(shí),上帝總是不在家.詩人朗費(fèi)羅為此感慨不已:“你的命運(yùn)一如他人,每個(gè)生命都會(huì)下雨.”下雨時(shí),憂傷時(shí),最值得做的事情就像這位朋友所說的:看著前方!一分鐘不行,再看一分鐘,久久地看,一次又一次地看,用一生的經(jīng)歷來看,用最真的愛滿懷著期望來看.看看是不是“所有的雨都會(huì)�！�,看看雨后的天空是不是更潔凈、更遼遠(yuǎn)、更美麗,是不是還會(huì)奇跡般地出現(xiàn)彩虹.
上帝總有回家的時(shí)候,雨水總會(huì)停下,前方總有期望和喜悅.

Intense Light, a Wall as Well
A father isasking his son in grade three: “We cannot find the star in the shady night. Isit not there?”
His son answeredit with clear –cut accent: “No.”
The father askedagain: “Then why we cannot see any star?”
His son replied:“The cloud hide them.”
Again the fatherasked: “There is no star in the sunny daytime. Where are they?”
Hesitated, hisson seemed have no idea to respond.
For a moment, thefather said: “Actually there is yet stars but most of them are恒星,and stay in theuniverse. It is just we cannot see them with our eyes. ”
His son askedcuriously: “Why?”
Thinking for awhile, the father answered: “Because the sunlight is too intense, and it shadethe stars’ light.”
The same goes tomany things in our lives. The intense light of one person or one thing, may notonly shade its own defects, but also the merits of the person or thing aroundit and makes it difficult for others to identify the facts besides him. This isnot the problem of one’s eye, but the intense light.
Most cases, theintense light is a wall, a wall that cannot see and stride with our eyes. Notonly can it confuse our normal eyes, but also hinder our normal sight.
翻譯:強(qiáng)光也是一堵墻
一位父親問他正讀小學(xué)三年級的兒子:“陰天的夜晚,天空中看不到星星,是星星不存在嗎?”
兒子很干脆的回答:“不是.”
父親又問:“那位什么我們一顆星星也看不見呢?”
兒子答:“是云把星星都遮住了.”
父親之后又問兒子:“晴空萬里的白晝,天空中也看不見星星,是星星不存在嗎?”
兒子有些猶豫,顯然不明白該如何回答父親這個(gè)問題.
父親見兒子答不出,稍停了一下,說:“其實(shí)白天星星也存在,它們大都是恒星,永遠(yuǎn)存在于太空中,只是我們?nèi)庋劭床坏搅T了.”
兒子好奇地問:“這又是為什么呢?”
父親想了一下.告訴兒子說:“是太陽的光太強(qiáng)了,它把所有星星的光都蓋住了.”
在生活中,很多人,很多事,也是如此.因?yàn)橐粋�(gè)人或一件事所擁有的光環(huán)太強(qiáng),不僅僅會(huì)把這個(gè)人或這件事本身的.缺點(diǎn)遮住,而且還會(huì)把周圍其他人或其他事的優(yōu)點(diǎn)也都遮住,讓大家無法看到他周圍人的真實(shí)面目或其他事的真相.這不是按個(gè)人的眼睛出了問題,而是因?yàn)閷Ψ降墓馓珡?qiáng)了.
很多時(shí)候,強(qiáng)光也是一堵墻,是一堵肉眼看不見的墻,又是一堵肉眼無法看過去的墻,他能夠迷惑我們正常的眼睛,也能夠擋住我們正常的目光.

The House of 1000 Mirrors
Long ago in a small, faraway village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself,“This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often.” In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself,“That is a horrible place, and I will never go backthere again.” All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kinds of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?

英文哲理故事 19
The oceanside community of Lozano Beach is debating whether to allow homeowners to rent out their homes on a weekly basis during the summer. Such rentals produce high incomes for the owners and the city, which gets part of this income through a 15-percent surcharge to the owner. “This can be a boon to our coffers,” said Rick Brown, city manager. “In the summer, homeowners can bring in $2,000 a week or more.”
However, these rentals can also be a can of worms. The city stopped allowing weekly rentals 10 years ago because of the problems they were generating. Two, three, or even four families would pile into a two- or three-bedroom house. Then they would park their cars on the lawn and produce huge amounts of trash. Sometimes they would toss this trash on the streets and sidewalks.
Noise would be another problem. Some people would party late and loud every night. This abuse created a lot of friction with neighbors and resulted in extra work for city maintenance crews and for police, who had to respond almost hourly to residents’ complaints about noise, music, trash, and parking problems. But now, the city’s budget problems are making it reconsider its ban.
City officials will hold a community meeting next week to listen to the pros and cons. One official has already suggested a proposal. He thinks that a fine might work. If the city has to respond to complaints, the homeowner will be charged $200 per response. Such a fine might cause the homeowner to be careful to rent only to people that he is sure will be considerate of the neighbors. The city would still get 15 percent of the rental fee, even if the homeowner’s rent were totallyoffset by fines. The city would post inconsiderate renters’ names on the city website so that other homeowners would know about them.
Some officials think the ban should be continued because these visitors to the community have already proven that they have no consideration for others. Their money isn’t worth the headaches they cause.
英文哲理故事 20
A work crew consisting of 150 volunteers worked for eight hours in a light drizzle on Saturday to clean Carson Creek of almost nine tons of debris. “A job well done,” smiled Alan Specter, the director of the event. “We’re scheduled to come back here one more time, three years from now. Of course, we hope that there won’t be nine tons of garbage next time.”
The garbage came in all shapes, sizes, and colors: cans, bottles, bicycles, car tires, autobatteries, sofas, furniture, clothing, shopping carts, bowling balls, plastic bags, dolls, baby carriages, TV antennas, and portable radios. There was even a golf bag with a full set of golf clubs.
Much of the backbreaking work was done by two community groups-the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, and two environmental groups-Save the Bay and Watch the Whales. Concerned retirees and volunteers from police and fire departments assisted. Everyone was issued boots, gloves, and rain gear. The work occurred along a two-mile stretch of streambed. The debris was hauled roadside, where trucks lined up to take the trash to the landfill. More than 500 big yellow trash bags were filled.
No one found anything of great value, although a five-year-old boy found an earring that he thought might be worth a million dollars because it was so shiny. He said he would sell it. Then he would donate half of the proceeds to Watch the Whales, and use the other half to buy a triple-scoop ice cream cone every day for the rest of his life.
英文哲理故事 21
Samantha, like many renters, is tired of renting. One reason is that her annual rent goes up like clockwork. Every year her landlord raises the rent five percent. Another reason is her neighbors. “New neighbors always seem to be more inconsiderate than the ones who moved out,” she said. “My first neighbor was a door-slammer; I always knew when he came home or left home. After he moved out, a saxophonist moved in. A saxophonist! He practiced two hours a day. On Saturday his friends would come over and I’d get to listen to a whole band. I called the police, but they said saxophone playing is permitted in apartments for up to four hours a day, because saxophone playing is job-related. They told me I was lucky that the guy was only playing two hours a day!”
There are many unhappy renters, but there are also happy renters. “I’ve been lucky my whole life,” said Howard, a middle-aged man. “My neighbors couldn’t have been any better if I had picked them myself. One neighbor was a chef. He’d bring me the best leftovers in the world. Another neighbor was a pianist. She played the most delightful music. Another neighbor was a mechanic who did my tune-ups and changed the oil in my car. My latest neighbor is a birder; we go birding every weekend with our binoculars.”
Different persons have different attitudes. Samantha saw the saxophone player as irritating, yet Howard saw the piano player as delightful. Millions of people would be happy just to have a roof over their head. Yet there are millions who would complain that their roof is the wrong color.

The Wolf and the Dog
There is a wolf. He is very hungry and has no strength to find food. As he lies under a large tree, a dog sees him. The dog sees the wolf is so thin and hungry, and he feels sorry for him and says, “You are so terrible! Are you hungry?”
“Yes,” says the wolf, “I’m hungry because you are guarding the sheep. Now I am so weak that I can’t find food. I think I will do.”
“Why not help me?” Asks the dog, “I work regularly and I eat regularly. You could do the same. You can help me guard the sleep. In that way, I will not worry about your stealing the sleep, and you will not worry about going hungry. It’s good for us.
The wolf thinks it over and thinks the dog is right. So they walk to the dog’s house. As they are walking, the wolf sees that only the hair of the dog’s neck is very thin. He is curious about this. So he asks the dog about it.
“Oh, don’t worry about that,” says the dog, “It’s the place where the collar ties on the neck. My master chains me up at night,”
“Chained up!” shouts the wolf, “Do you mean that you are chained up at night? If I come to live with you, will I be chained up at night, too?”
“That’s night,” says the dog, “But, you’ll get used to it.”
“But, if I am chained up, I won’t be free.” After saying this, the wolf turns round and runs away.
The dog shouts, “Wait! Come back! I’m not free, but I’m healthy. I have good food, and a warm place to sleep. I like enjoying life. In fact, I’m freer than you are.”

A woman baked chapatti for members of her family and an extra one for a hungry passerby. She kept the extra chapatti on the window sill. Every day, a hunchback came and took away the chapatti.

一個(gè)女人給家人烤薄餅,還留出一個(gè)給饑腸轆轆的路人.她總是把留出的那個(gè)放在窗臺上,每天都有一個(gè)駝背的人來拿走薄餅.他沒說過一句“謝謝”,反而總是邊走邊咕噥著:“善有善報(bào),惡有惡報(bào)!”
The woman felt irritated. “Not a word of gratitude,” she said to herself… “Everyday this hunchback utters this jingle! What does he mean?” One day, she decided to do away with him. She added poison to the chapatti she prepared for him!
女人很生氣,她自言自語地說:“這個(gè)駝背人從沒說過謝謝,卻每天都重復(fù)這句話,是什么意思呀?”一天,她決定弄死他,就在為他準(zhǔn)備的薄餅上下了毒.
As she was about to keep it on the window sill, her hands trembled. “What is this I am doing?” she said. Immediately, she threw the chapatti into the fire, prepared another one. As usual, the hunchback came, picked up the chapatti and muttered the words: “The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!”
她正要把餅放在窗臺上,手就開始顫抖了,她說:“我在做什么?”她馬上把餅扔進(jìn)了火里,重新做了一張.一切照舊,駝背人來了,拿起薄餅,咕噥著:“善有善報(bào),惡有惡報(bào)!”

He was kind enough to give me a whole chapatti. He said, “Your need is greater than mine!”
那天晚上,有人敲門,她打開門驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)兒子站在門口,他很餓很虛弱.一看見媽媽他就說:“媽媽,我能回來真是奇跡.離家還有一英里遠(yuǎn)的時(shí)候,我太餓了走不動(dòng)了.我差點(diǎn)兒就死了,但就在那時(shí)一個(gè)老駝背人路過,他很善良給了我一整張餅.他說:‘你比我更需要它’.”

英文哲理故事 27
There was once a bridge which spanned a large river. During most of the day the bridge sat with its length running up and down the river paralleled with the banks, allowing ships to pass thru freely on both sides of the bridge. But at certain times each day, a train would come along and the bridge would be turned sideways across the river, allowing a train to cross it.
A switchman sat in a small shack on one side of the river where he operated the controls to turn the bridge and lock it into place as the train crossed. One evening as the switchman was waiting for the last train of the day to come, he looked off into the distance thru the dimming twilight and caught sight of the trainlights. He stepped to the control and waited until the train was within a prescribed distance when he was to turn the bridge. He turned the bridge into position, but, to his horror, he found the locking control did not work. If the bridge was not securely in position it would wobble back and forth at the ends when the train came onto it, causing the train to jump the track and go crashing into the river. This would be a passenger train with many people aboard. He left the bridge turned across the river, and hurried across the bridge to the other side of the river where there was a lever switch he could hold to operate the lock manually. He would have to hold the lever back firmly as the train crossed. He could hear the rumble of the train now, and he took hold of the lever and leaned backward to apply his weight to it, locking the bridge. He kept applying the pressure to keep the mechanism locked. Many lives depended on this man‘s strength.
Then, coming across the bridge from the direction of his control shack, he heard a sound that made his blood run cold. "Daddy, where are you?" His four-year-old son was crossing the bridge to look for him. His first impulse was to cry out to the child, "Run! Run!" But the train was too close; the tiny legs would never make it across the bridge in time. The man almost left his lever to run and snatch up his son and carry him to safety. But he realized that he could not get back to the lever. Either the people on the train or his little son must die. He took a moment to make his decision.
The train sped safely and swiftly on its way, and no one aboard was even aware of the tiny broken body thrown mercilessly into the river by the onrushing train. Nor were they aware of the pitiful figure of the sobbing man, still clinging tightly to the locking lever long after the train had passed. They did not see him walking home more slowly than he had ever walked: to tell his wife how their son had brutally died.
Now if you comprehend the emotions which went this man‘s heart, you can begin to understand the feelings of our Father in Heaven when He sacrificed His Son to bridge the gap between us and eternal life. Can there be any wonder that He caused the earth to tremble and the skies to darken when His Son died? How does He feel when we speed along thru life without giving a thought to what was done for us thru Jesus Christ?

As he crossed, he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath. Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat, he made up his mind to have that also. So he made a snap at the shadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth the piece of meat fell out, dropped into the water and was never seen more.
Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.

After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."
The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.

英文哲理故事 31
The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read Beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree. Disillusioned by life with good reason to frown, For the world was intent on dragging me down.
And if that werent enough to ruin my day, A young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play. He stood right before me with his head tilted down And said with great excitement, "Look what I found!"
In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, With its petals all worn - not enough rain, or too little light. Wanting him to take his dead flower and go off to play, I faked a small smile and then shifted away.
But instead of retreating he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with surprise, "It sure smells pretty and its beautiful, too. Thats why I picked it; here, its for you."
The weed before me was dying or dead. Not vibrant of colors, orange, yellow or red. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, "Just what I need."
But instead of him placing the flower in my hand, He held it mid-air without reason or plan. It was then that I noticed for the very first time, that weed-toting boy could not see: he was blind.
I heard my voice quiver, tears shone like the sun. As I thanked him for picking the very best one. "Youre welcome," he smiled, and then ran off to play, Unaware of the impact hed had on my day.
I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. How did he know of my self-indulged plight? Perhaps from his heart, hed been blessed with true sight.
Through the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see, the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I myself had been blind, I vowed to see beauty, and appreciate every second thats mine.
And then I held that wilted flower up to my nose and breathed in the fragrance of a beautiful rose And smiled as that young boy, another weed in his hand About to change the life of an unsuspecting old man.
