宽容是人世间最好的良药。对于一些无可挽回的悲剧或过失，过多的指责没有任何意义，因为悲剧或过失是任何人都不希望发生的。这时惟有以一种宽容的心态来对待身边的人或事，看待得与失。
Human Relations
----- By Marion Williams
A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and you can imagine how excited they were. Certainly the boy was 1 as the apple of their eyes.
One morning, the husband saw a medicine bottle 2 ．As he was late for work, he asked his wife to cap the bottle and ___3____. The mother, who was busy in the kitchen, 4 the matter. The boy playfully went to the medicine bottle, was 5 with its color,and drank it all. It 6 to be a poisonous medicine 7 adults in small dosages. When the child showed signs of poisoning, the mother took him to the hospital, 8 he died. The mother was stunned（使昏迷）.She was too 9 to face her husband. When the 10 father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he 11 his wife and uttered just four words.
The husband just said “ 12 ”
The husaband was indeed 13 in human relationships.The child was dead. He could 14 be brought back to life. There was no 15 in finding fault with the mother. 16 , if only he had taken time to keep the bottle in the cupboard or other place, this would not have happened. No one is 17 . She had also lost her only child .What she needed at that moment was consolation(安慰，慰藉) and 18 from the husband. That was what he gave her.

When I was 17, I read a quote: “If you live each day as if it were your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made a(n) 36 on me，and since then，for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the 37 day of my life，would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to 38 something．
Remembering that I’ll be 39 soon is the most important tool to help me make the big choices in life, 40 almost everything—all expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure—just falls away in the face of death, 41 only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to 42 . You are already naked．There is no reason not to follow your heart.
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to 43 don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever 44 it, because Death is very likely to be the single best invention of Life. It clears out the old to 45 for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will 46 become the old and be cleared away.
Your time is 47 , so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice．Everything else is secondary.

Many of us learn valuable lessons from our patients. I was 36 to learn one early in my career as a nurse. I have 37 her name, but she has influenced the way I treat many other patients.
I was working the 3-11 pm shift at a small hospital at that time. The patient was a 42-year-old woman who had 38 a heart attack. She was expected to stay in 39 for about two weeks before being sent home. She was 40 that she could not see her three young children. We did not 41 children into a hospital in those days.
Every evening, we would 42 our children. I had one daughter and I loved her so much that I could not 43 not seeing her every day. The patient was getting 44 and we both knew it wouldn’t be long before she would be home 45 her little ones again.
About a week later, she 46 me to sit with her for a while. I held her hand and she told me she was 47 and thought she might not see her kids again. I tried to let her know that her 48 so far had been great. It was 10:30 pm, almost time for the 49 of my work. I told her I had to hand in my 50 and that I would come back to her room.
Then I 51 with my friends. It wasn’t until I had got home that I realized I had forgotten to keep my promise. “That’s OK,” I thought, “I will spend 52 time with her tomorrow.”
The next day I was told that she had 53 at midnight. She wanted company and I let her down. She left the world quietly. If I had stayed in her room, would she be home surrounded by her 54 right now? I would never know. What I do know is this: I have 55 every patient’s request since that night.
