RELATIONS
AVEC LES gens imparfaits
Par John L. Decossaux,

La règle numéro un dans la vie est la suivante: Ne paniquez pas - AGGGGGGHHHHH ... Je veux dire, "Tout ira bien, il suffit de travailler
sur patiemment et
jusqu'à ce qu'il y est la paix".
Si le bateau a quelques
fuites, évider l'eau que vous ramer votre
bateau, ne vous arrêtez pas ramer,
parce que l'eau vient en plus vite et vous
couler avant que vous atteigniez votre destination. Ne criez pas et crier que le bateau
coule, parce que vous ne vous gâcher la journée et tout le monde de la
journée.
Ayez la foi que les gens peuvent être raisonnés. Vous aurez défauts jusqu'à ce que le jour de votre mort, mais ils feront de même.
Ne prenez pas leurs défauts comme une tentative délibérée de vous blesser.
Ne leur laissez pas penser que vos défauts sont
la cruauté et la
haine contre eux. Il faut être deux pour se disputer. Vous pouvez haïr, accuser,
la demande et la
malédiction, mais personne ne l'apprécierez.
Au lieu de choisir d'aimer, de
comprendre, respecter et respecter. La vie est si courte, tenons-nous avec
quelqu'un dont nous avons besoin jusqu'à
ce que nous développons une
compréhension, peu importe combien
de fois nous avons à entrer dans
le même conflit. Nous vous
tiendrons pardonner jusqu'à notre
mort, si nous voulons être plus
heureux. Dites-leur que vous les
aimez et leur pardonner et vous voulez qu'ils vous
aiment et vous
pardonne. Attendez jusqu'à ce que vous avez tous deux présenter des excuses
et offrir à chaque autre, un nouveau départ. Il travaille.
RELACIONES CON personas
imperfectas
Por John L. Decossaux, 08/06/12
La regla número uno en la vida es: No se asuste - AGGGGGGHHHHH ... quiero
decir, "Todo estará bien, sólo funciona con paciencia y hasta que haya paz".
Si el barco tiene unas pocas fugas, saque el agua a medida que remar su barco,
no deje de remar, porque el agua llega más rápido y usted se hunden antes de
llegar a su destino. No grite y grite que el barco se está hundiendo, ya que
sólo arruinará su día y todos los demás días.
Tenga fe en que la gente se puede razonar con ellos. Usted tendrá fallas hasta
el día de su muerte, pero ellos también lo harán. No tome sus defectos, como un
intento deliberado de hacer daño. No deje que ellos piensan que sus defectos
son la crueldad y el odio en contra de ellos. Se necesitan dos para discutir. Usted
puede odiar, acusar, la demanda y la maldición, pero nadie va a disfrutar. En
su lugar elegir amar, comprender, respetar y respetar. La vida es tan corta, vamos
a seguir con alguien que necesita hasta que desarrollemos un entendimiento, no
importa cuántas veces tenemos que entrar en el mismo conflicto. Vamos a seguir perdonando
hasta que morimos, si queremos ser más felices. Dígales que usted los ama y los
perdona y quiere que te amo y te perdono. Espere hasta que ambos se disculpan y
ofrecen entre sí un nuevo comienzo. Funciona.
RELATIONSHIPS WITH IMPERFECT PEOPLE
By John L. Decossaux, 6/8/12
The number one rule in life is: DON'T PANIC--AGGGGGGHHHHH...I mean, "Everything will be okay, Just work it out patiently & until there is peace". If the boat has a few leaks, scoop out the water as you row your boat, don't stop rowing, because the water comes in faster & you'll sink before you reach your destination. Don't scream & shout that the boat is sinking, because you will only ruin your day & everyone else's day.
Have faith that people can be reasoned with. You will have flaws until the day you die, but so will they. Don't take their flaws as a deliberate attempt to hurt you. Don't let them think that your flaws are cruelty & hatred against them. It takes two to argue. You can hate, accuse, demand & curse, but no one will enjoy it. Instead choose to love, understand, comply & respect. Life is so short, let's stick with someone we need until we develop an understanding, no matter how many times we have to enter the same conflict. We will keep forgiving until we die, if we want to be happier. Tell them you love them & forgive them & you want them to love you & forgive you. Wait until you both apologize & offer each other a new beginning. It works.
