A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8
year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader
and ndeeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint
her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." Rebecca - age 8
"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You
just know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy - age 4
"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other." Karl - age 5
"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French
fries without making them give you any of theirs." Chrissy - ag e 6
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." Terri - age 4
"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip
before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." Danny - age 7
"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of
kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss" Emily - age 8
"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening
presents and listen." Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)
"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend
who you hate," Nikka - age 6 (we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)
"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday." Noelle - age 7
"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still
friends even after they know each other so well." Tommy - age 6
"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore." Cindy - age 8
"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else
kissing me to sleep at night." Clare - age 6
"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." Elaine -
age 5
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is
handsomer than Robert Redford." Chris - age 7
"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him
alone all day." Mary Ann - age 4
"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old
clothes and has to go out and buy new ones." Lauren - age 4
"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little
stars come out of you." (what an imagination) Karen - age 7
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think
it's gross." Mark - age 6
"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if
you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget." Jessica - age 8
And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked
about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbour was
an elderly gentleman who had rece ntly lost his wife. Upon seeing the
man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbour, the little
boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry"
When there is nothing left but love, that is when you find out that
love Is all you need.
whether should i stay or leave?
On writing this passage, to say truth,my feeling is really very very complicated. I do not know what should I say or how should I say, I just wanna speak all my unhappiness out,i just wanna cry out to let all my angry out coz I am too tired in mental,I thought is the right time to make a decision or to leave.
Since the first day I come to shanghai, I made up my mind I should stay here coz I love this city. and next I found a job which until now I still like very much especially the working atmosphere. Yet lucky is only temporarary,I met a bizzar, strict ,harsh boss. moreover she is a woman. To surprised me more is that she got advanced in office, and now she is the vice general manager of our company. So she has to leave her marketing department to work in the main company in Nanhui district.Yet the international part of our company has been charged by her for several years and other memembers could not qualified for this position, so ,I am a bitterness boy was chosen to work with her and responsible for the India project in Main Company in Nanhui district, and reture to my market department until September 2007.I have no choice only to work there.
Just from that time, my igony life has began. I am a member of marketing department, but the work I do is beyond my scope,mostly what I did is more or less the same as what a sectarary should do.But that is not important, after all I am a new member,to work more,to be delligent is a good habit. But what i could not understand is her bad temper,even a tiny thing, she will shout to you ,to criticize you,so my office is full of the smell of gunpowder(but mostly I choose in silience),I try my best to make a harmonious working atmosphere.But she is just like the valcano and erupt at any time. So these days my feeling is changeable coz she is just so.
These time, most of my friends said, just keep up, this is nothing, u can deal with her, so no matter what kind of boss u will meet later, u can get on well with them, so I keep to stand her bad temper.
In December, our marketing department had accepted too many bidding books, so it needs assistant urgently, there is no doubt that I and my aweful boss was asked to come back to support marketing department. I am very happy coz I finally could come back and work with a lot of workmates instead of staying with the boss in a single office. yet what I thought is wrong.The situation is even worse, her bad temper made all the members in the room disgust to her but they could say nothing .but I am have to be blamed all the time. What I could stand is her aweful voice make everybody hear,maybe she just want to reach such effect. I do not know what my current marketing department manager thought. In a word, the result should be negative.
These days, I am making the bidding books, it is complete new to me, so I try my best to complete this task, but she did not trust me at all and asked a more expericenced member to review what I did,I think is right for her to do so, but every time after the check of the member, she still could select a lot of mistakes, then I will be blamed. Yesterday, nearly 90% of the book was finished, just a name of certain component was wrong, she said I am "making up", I nearly crazy, and shout to me.......I never thought a vice general manager can say such words. I really do not konw how to express my feeling that time.I want to resign immediately that time, but I did not. I try my best to hide my bad mood but that is so painful. And I try my best to use the medium words to argue with her, and that is the bottom line of my break out.
A few days is going to be Spring Festival.I decide not to go home,and I also want to reflect myself what I should do, whether to stay or to leave. whether is it worthwhile for me to stay with the aweful woman(in fact, nearly everyone in our company hate her,but I am bad luch just work direct under her),I think it is the right time to make an end.
I admitted now I am unlucky, but I do not believe bad luck always belongs to me, moreover, there should be fmany aults in my work, all of these worth me thinking of for a long time.
How long should I continue to walk?
