However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to
2、bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.Shades of that spirit spread over todays conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked lightheartedly out of the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and
3、said, “Oh boy, a bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says its going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, but for his smile.Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash acros
4、s the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh, that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of headcutting!Its not the news that makes someone angry.

Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.Unfortunately, m
6、any people are not aware of this. When youre tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isnt ready yet?

7、nd your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh，thats all right. Ill catch the

But watching the movie, I couldnt help feeling I was seeing my little sister on the screen. After a doctor offers a new machine, Hazel interrup
