I consider myself something of an expert on apologies. A quick temper has me with plenty of opportunities to make them. In one of my earlier , my mother was telling me“Don’t watch the when you say, ‘I’m sorry’. Hold your head up and look at the person in the , so he’ll know you it. ” 
My mother thus made the key point of a(n) apology: It must be direct. You must never to be doing something else. You do not a pile of letters while apologizing to a person in position after blaming him or her for a mistake that turned out to be your . You do not apologize to a hostess, whose guest of honor you treat , by sending flowers the next day without mentioning your bad .
One of the important things we should do for an apology is a readiness to the responsibility for our careless mistakes. We are used to making excuses, which leaves no for the other person to us. Since most people are open-hearted, the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling about themselves. That, after all, is the of every apology. It little whether the apologizer is wholly or only partly at fault. Answering for one’s encourages others to take their share of the blame.

In your life，nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck．Everything to test the limits of your soul．Without these small tests，life would be like a smoothly paved， ，flat road to nowhere．Safe and comfortable but dull and pointless．
If someone you or breaks your heart，forgive them for they have helped you trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart to．If someone loves you，love them back ，not only because they love you，but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and to things you would have never felt or seen without them．
Make every day count．Appreciate every and take from it everything that you possibly can，for you will never be able to experience it again．

When I was a small boy my family was very poor. My father always used his savings to my mother to visit her parents who lived far away. There was just my younger brother and myself in the house. One evening Dad came home from and there was no food in the house, not a piece of bread. Although we were , my brother and I went to bed without eating anything.
My father had no money, but I knew from the on his face that he could not let us have an empty stomach. He the house and about two hours later returned and quickly us up. He had in his hand two small potato pies, which he gave us to eat. I don't know where he got the but somehow he to get us something to eat.
My father had not eaten and had worked all day he sat there with great satisfaction watching us eat. This has stayed in my mind and left more of an impression than any amount of he may ever have given me.
At that moment, I felt happy knowing that he was there and would not let us .
I guess the I am trying to make is that in difficult times it is not to show weakness but strength and character. If a is the cement (粘合劑) that holds a family together, then the father is that strengthens that cement.
It is his values and and memories that have carried me forward and helped me to my own problems in life. In my own I have learned that it is the valuable time you spend with your children and the values you give to them that will remain with them always.

Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been going through a time lately, but you’ve made me again.”
“I’m happy that I could be to you,” she replied. “Why are you so sad?”

We packed these things boxes and added some small toys. We added a list of local addresses and phone numbers of local agencies. Inside the boxes a simple letter was placed. It : “Please take these items and know that your life is important. are difficult but these days will pass. We share what we have believing that it will matter. Use the food to nurture your ; use the blankets to stay warm. Be safe and know that the human can overcome anything. Do not hold your head for having a need to stay warm. Someday please do the same when you can.”
This kind was not because the phone rang or for any reason. It was because it was the right to do. We have often seen people at the park where we left the belongings. I that my wife had put her favorite green coat into one of the boxes. I asked if she was about it and she just replied that it had a hood (兜帽) . Her answer told me why it is I who love her. She liked the coat but knew the hood could someone from the rain.
Who knows where these gifts of sympathy will ? How many uses can a blanket serve what it was designed to do? We never go back and see what happens. It is unimportant. The right things will find the right people and that is all that .
