Sharing session
Hi all, just for your info, i maynot be logging into the msn as often anymore because i sold my laptop away to my colleague. I will be getting another laptop at around december period.
Chicken Soup for the Soul has always been one of my favourite "educational book". There is one particular story which i loved it alot and want to share with you guys. I cannot remember word for word but the story goes liked this,
There was this couple Rick and Rachel. They were in a relationship for 2 years. But for the past few months, they seems to be quarreling frequently, even for trival matters like what should be the colour of their bedroom! Rick just cannot understand why Rachel was so demanding out of the sudden while Rachel is pissed off with the change in attitude in Rick. Soon, the both of them felt that there is a need to solved all their issues and miscommunications. Finally, They both sat down and began to communicate.
Rick suggested with a method. He said, "since we cannot communicate with each other well, why don't we just each take a piece of paper writing down all our shortcomings and expectations of each other? We will then exchange them and have a good look at it."
Rachel agreed. She started to write,
1)Please be at home on time for dinner when i cook for you
2)Flush after you used the toilet
3)After you started on this new job, you did not spend quality time with me
4)There are no surprises from you anymore, compared to last time. Life is so routine!
5)For goodnees sake, stop snoring in the when you are sleeping. I'm tired too!
and the lists goes on.... But to her dispair, she noticed that Rick right from the start only wrote afew words, folded the paper and smile... this pissed her off further as she thought that he is not interested in resolving their issues together. But she continue writing...
When they finish writing, Rachel gave him her paper. When Rick read it, he was very disappointed and just looked at Rachel without saying a word... Rachel was getting impatient and agitated. She asked, "So these are your problems! What is mine?!" Rick sadly handed over his paper to her...when she read it, she just when over to hug Rick, and wept...
There were only 7 words in Rick's paper...
"I LOVE YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE..."
Guys, this is a simple lesson on relationship. To maintain a relationship is never an easy task at all. There will definately be ups and downs in a relationship. I always hear my Superior say this, "When in doubt, always fall back on your Mission. You will never go wrong..." I can just rephase his sentence for this case... "When in doubt, always fall back on why do you want to make him your bf/gf/husband/wife in the 1st place..." This question alone will trigger your thoughts and hold back your temper. And also, communication is important in a relationship.
Remember, the word RELATIONSHIP comes from the word RELATE!!
I hope this blog will help some of you guys! Stay tune!!
