Last spring I was walking in a park. A short distance ahead of me was a mom and her three-year-old daughter. The little girl was holding a string that was attached to a helium balloon(氢气球).
All of a sudden, a strong w took the balloon from the little girl. I though she would scream and c .
But, no! As the little girl turned to watch her balloon rise into the sky, she h shouted: “Wow!”
I didn’t realize it at that moment, but that little girl had taught me something.
Later that day, I r a phone call from a person with news of an unexpected problem. I felt like saying:“Oh no, what should we do?” But thinking of that little girl, I found myself saying: “Wow, that’s interesting! How can I help you?” One thing is for sure---life is always going to put us off balance with things we don’t expect. However, how we respond(反应) to them is our c . We can choose to be frustrated(沮丧的) or fascinated.
No matter what the situation, a fascinated “Wow!’ will always b a frustrated “Oh, no.” So the next time you experience one of life’s unexpected guests, think of that little girl and make it a “Wow!” i of an “oh, no.” The “Wow!” response always works.
