Good one

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a
loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes.When the boy was
around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open.
He was late for the office so he asked
the wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard.The mother,
preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter. The boy playfully
went to the medicine bottle and, fascinated with its colour drank it all.
It happened to be a poisonous medicine
meant for adults in small dosages. When the child showed signs of
poisoning
the mother took him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was
stunned.
She was terrified how to face her husband. When the distraught father came
to the hospital and saw the
dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words.
Questions :
Answer :
The husband just said " I love You Darling " The husband's totally
unexpected reaction is proactive behaviour. He is indeed a genius in human
relationships. The child is dead. He can never come back to life. There is
no point in finding fault with the
mother. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment
was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.
If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be
much fewer problems in the world.
To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a
little.
To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand
her at all.
Getting along with others requires that you stop making excuses for your
selfish behaviors or habits.
