把話說到對方的心窩裡...
把話說到對方的心窩裡
小芳帶了三個頑皮的孩子來,在小趙的玫瑰花園裡撒野。
小趙在屋子裡看到了,火大地說:
『我要出去好好訓訓這些小鬼,把我的玫瑰花都弄斷了。』
『何必你去呢?』 太太說,『由我去』
『小芳』 趙太太小聲說: 『那些花都有刺,又剛噴了殺蟲劑,
趙伯伯怕你們被刺到,有毒。他在樓上看了,緊張得不得了呢。』
旅館裡借給旅客使用的浴袍總是失竊。
客房部主任氣憤地寫了一張公告,打算發到各房間:
『偷竊本旅館浴袍者,將被送警究辦。』
隔一天,他把內容改了:『請勿將本旅館的浴袍攜走,以免觸法。』
隔一天,他又把內容改了:
『如果您對浴袍感興趣,請洽客房部,我們有全新的,可以賣給您,
免得您拿走用過的浴袍,卻被扣了新浴袍的錢。』
女兒交了要好的男朋友,居然脾氣跟準岳父一樣,固執。
有一天為了約會,還頂撞了老先生。
『妳為什麼會愛上這小子?』 老先生厲聲問女兒。
『他哪一點好?值得你愛?』
『爹地,您不覺得他的個性很像您嗎?有一點直,有一點固執!』
女兒說:『我愛您的個性,覺得像您這樣堅持到底的個性才能成功。
他雖然不及您,但是多少有點像您,所以我愛他。』
同一件事,你總可以從不同角度去看,而產生完全不同的感覺;說出完全不同的話……
那些說話傷人的人,多半因為沒有換個角度看事情,也可以說他們總從負面想……
窗子開著,有涼風進來。
他可 能罵 太太: 『你難道不冷嗎?為不麼不關窗子?』
他何不換句話說: 『太太,我怕你會冷,把窗子關上吧。』
交一疊錢給朋友,你說:『數一數,回頭少了,可別怪我。』
你說得沒錯,他卻不好意思數了,你何不換個方法:
『還是數數吧,因為我有時候糊塗,搞不好多給你了。』
最能把話說到心窩裡的人,總是最為別人設想也總能退一步思考的人。
