There once was a master who went to India. He had never been there before. When he got there, he saw a lot of f 1. . In India they have plenty of fruit to sell, but much of it is expensive b 2. they can’t grow much as a result of the water situation. He saw a big basket of some very red, long fruit. And it was the c 3. in the shop, not expensive at all.
He went up and asked，“how much per kilo?”“Two rupees.”Two rupees in India is almost
n 4. ; it’s like dirt (尘土). So he bought a whole kilogram of it and started eating it. But
a 5. he ate some of it: Oh, my god! His eyes watered, his mouth watered and burned, his eyes were burning, his head was burning and his face became red. He jumped up and down, saying，“Ah! Ah! Ah!”
But he s 6. continued to eat! Some people looking at him shook their heads and said，“You’re crazy. Those are chilies (辣椒)! You can’t eat them like that. They’re not fruit!” However, the master said, “No, I can’t stop! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them. It’s my money!”
You may think that master was s 7. , right? Similarly, we sometimes do a lot of things
l 8. that. We devote money, time or effort to a relationship. Even though the suffering experience tells us it won’t w 9. , and we know there’s no hope things will change in the future—we still continue just because we’ve devoted money, time, effort and love to it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and suffered so much but couldn’t stop.
So even if you’ve lost something, let it g 10. and move on. That’s better than continuing to lose.
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.

Three 1. words of communication |

Communicating is 2. and plays an important part in our daily activities. Because of different styles of it, some people are very 3. while others are not. |
|
|
Thank you |
We receive help from others 4. day. If you say “Thank you” after getting favors, others will help you 5. . |
|
Please |
Others should 6. you well, right? No! But if you 7. the simple and sweet “Please”, maybe others could change the manner towards you. |
|
Sorry |
It is human nature that everyone makes 8. . Saying “Sorry” can help you reduce 9. in your relationship. |

You’re 10. to find a change in the way people respond to you if you truly use these words. |
