I went out of town for a couple of days, and when I got back, I found a number of strange messages on my answering machine. Deciding I had better check out my ad, I went over to the university. And there it was: “Room and Broad, $400 a month.”
(48) Life’s Like That
While I was dining out with my children, a man came over to our table and we started talking. He asked where my kids go to school. I told him we home-school them. With a raised eyebrow he asked if my husband is the sole breadwinner for our family.
I said no, I also work --- out of our home.
Then, noticing our two-month-old son, he mentioned that his daughter had just had a baby, and he wondered what hospital our son was born in. “He was born at home,” I answered.
The man looked at me, then said, “Wow, you don’t get out much, do you ?”

Life Sayings
Weak is strong
“There’s nothing stronger in the world than gentleness.”
___ Han Suyin (Chinese-born British writer)
A steady drip of water turns a rock into a pebble. The sea gradually turns pebbles into sand. The flow of a river carves the Grand Canyon. It may take a small river a long time to carve the Grand Canyon, but the result is beautiful. Being gentle can achieve some things that being tough and strong, cannot. A kind word lifts someone’s spirits to the skies. Gentleness, mercy and tenderness --- these are powerful force in the world and in our relationships. If you don’t know your own strength, try being gentle.
“世上最强的力量是温柔”
--- 韩素英 （英籍华人作家）
持续不断的水滴将坚硬的岩石变为卵石。海水的反复冲刷把卵石磨成沙粒。 河流的雕琢造就了世界闻名的大峡谷。小河对大峡谷的雕琢也许经年累月，却创造力出了奇景。可见温柔可以成就的，强硬、粗暴却不一定能做得到。一句善意的话常常带给人极大的鼓舞。温柔、宽容、体贴 --- 无论在物质世界还是在人际关系中都是巨大的力量。如果你还不知道自己力量的存在， 何不试试以温柔待人？
