On the way back from work every evening, more often than not there would be a homeless man standing at the exit of the freeway (快车道). He looked to be in his late 40s but was probably a lot younger. He had shoulder length straight black hair and a short beard.
Every day after work I would remember to gather any spare change, and put it aside to give to him if I saw him. A feeling of joy would come over me every time I saw him, while coming off the ramp (坡道). So did he. Sometimes the red light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day. His answer would always be the same, “I’m blessed!”
Then one day I was called into my boss’s office and was told that I was being laid off. For the rest of that day all I could think of was “how am I going to provide for my kids as a mother, how am I going to pay rent?”
Needless to say that on my way home that day I was very sad and upset. I didn’t remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did. Yet there he was as always, as I turned the ramp. He set his eyes on me, while still smiling and waving at others as usual.
While I was waiting for the red light to turn, he strolled (闲逛) over to my car. He had a big smile. He looked at me straight in the eyes and said, “Today I will give you a dollar.” He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill.
You see that day he taught me a valuable lesson more than a dollar bill. No matter what material things are taken from you, no one can take away your choice to be joyful. Every time I’m faced with challenges, I think of the homeless man’s valuable lesson and remember that I am blessed.

Talking with people is necessary in our daily activities and it is also very important. However, we all have different styles of communicating. Some people seem to be liked by most of the people while others not! Why does this happen? The answer lies in the simple magic words of communication—Thank you, Please and Sorry!

Let’s see how and why we should use these three words:

◆ Thank you

There is not one day of our life which we spend without taking help from another person. From the time we start our day till we step into our bed for a good night’s sleep, we have taken a number of favors (恩惠). However, how many times do we thank the other person truly? Be free and generous in saying “Thank you”! It does not take away your credit (认可), but surely makes the other person happy and more willing to help you next time!

◆ Please

Often we take things for granted (想当然) and ask other people to do things for us. This does not help as others feel they are made to do these for you. A simple and sweet “please” could completely change the manner towards you.

◆ Sorry

Everyone makes mistakes, but it is quite difficult to accept it and say sorry for it. This always causes trouble in our relationship. Saying sorry does not disgrace (使丢脸) anyone, instead, puts them in a more polite position.

These three simple words can work wonders for people. If you truly use these words in your day to day communication with people, you will surely find a change in the way people respond (反应) to you and your actions.
