緣份, 是找到包容你的人

有一個男人, 為了參加第二天的小學同學會，特地上街, 買一條新長褲。

A man bought a new pair of trousers for his primary school mates’ reunion dinner. When he tried out at home, he found that the trousers were too long by 10cm.
他回家穿上後，卻發覺長度多了十公分。於是請求媽媽替他改。
媽媽說，身體不舒服，想早一點休息,今晚不想改。

He asked his mother to help him shorten the pants. His mother said she could not do it as she was not feeling well and would like to rest early.      
於是, 改請求太太替他改。太太說,還有許多家事要做，今晚沒有時間改。

So the man approached his wife to shorten his pants. His wife said she was very tired and had a lot of work to do that night, so she could not help him to shorten the pants that night.

Then the man asked his daughter. His daughter apologized for not able to do it that night because she had agreed to go dancing with her boyfriend
他想想，既然如此，明天穿舊的長褲去同學會也可以！

"Ah well!" The man thought and decided he could wear his old trousers to the reunion.

Later that night, his mother thought to herself, "My son has been very nice to me.     I ' ll just help him to shorten his pants before going to rest." So she shortened the pants by 10cm.

Then his wife finished her work and thought," My husband knows I am always very busy and seldom asked me to help him. I would oblige him today." So she shortened the man ' s pants by another 10cm.

Many of us have "High EQ" when dealing with people outside the family, "Low EQ" when dealing with our own family members!  This is not an exaggeration at all.

人，面對外人時，總是可以表現得雍容大肚、心平氣和，但面對自己最親近的家人，卻往往一點小事,就足以皺起眉頭，甚至出言相傷。
