7.A member of our class told us of a request made by his wife.She and a group of other women in her church were involved in a self-improvement program.She asked her husband to help hr by listing six things he believed she could do to help her become a better wife.He reported to the class,"I was surprised by such a request.Frankly,it would have been easy for me to list six things I would like to change about her---my heavens,she could have listed a thousand things she would like to change about me---but I didn't.I said to her,‘Let me think about it and give you an answer in the morning.'"
"The next morning I got up very early and called the florist(花商)and had him send six red roses to my wife with a note saying,‘I can't think of six things I would like to change about you.I love you the way you are.'"
"When I arrived at home that evening,who do you think greeted me at the door?That's right.My wife!She was almost in tears.Needless to say,I was extremely glad I had not criticized her as she had requested."
"The following Sunday at church,after she had reported the result of her request,several women with whom she had been studying came up to me and said,"That is the most considerate thing I have ever heard.'I was then that I realized the power of appreciation."
Lincoln once began a letter saying,"Everybody likes a compliment."William James said,"The deepest principle in human nature is the desire to be appreciated."So let's give honest,sincere appreciation to others instead of criticizing them.This will make a great difference to your life as well as others'.

分析 我们班的一位成员告诉了我们他妻子的一个请求,她和教堂里的一群其他女人都参与了一个自我提升的项目,她让她的丈夫帮她列出了六件他认为她能帮她成为一个更好的妻子的事情,他向全班报告说"我很惊讶这样的请求,老实说,我本来能很容易的就会列出让她改变的六件事情,---我的天,她可能会列出她想要我改变的很多事情---但我没有列,我对她说,让我想想,我在早上给你一个答复.
第二天早上,我很早就起床了,给花商打电话,让他发送六朵红玫瑰我妻子并附上便条:"我想不出我想要你改变的六件事.我就爱你这个样子.".
那天晚上当我到家的时候,你们知道谁在门口迎接我吗?就是我的妻子!她几乎要哭了,不用说,我很高兴我没有像她要求的那样批评她.
接下来的周日在教堂里,在她回报了她的请求后,几个一直和它一起学习的女人来到我面前说,这是我们听过的最体贴的事了,然后我意识到了欣赏的力量.
林肯曾经写过一封信,说:"每个人都喜欢赞美."威廉•詹姆斯说,"人性中最深刻的原则就是渴望被欣赏.所以,让我们诚实地、真诚地欣赏他人,而不是批评他们.这将对你的生活和他人都有很大的影响.
