Today, I made the time to listen to a person new to me, who I met was parking my car, “Perfect”, he said as he walked by me as I checked how considerately I parked. He was a clean cut gentleman sharing his feelings about his grown kids, parenting mistakes he is aware of, while expressing a realization to slay clear of destructive addictions.
I listened patiently and kindly. He seemed quite comfortable with me, in need of some treatment letting go of his thoughts and emotions. After talking for a while, I had to go inside, and I asked him to wait on the sidewalk and I’d be right back with some gifts for him. He was so receptive ail along, and I could feel the desires of his heart. I returned to him with bookmarks. I encouraged him, also, with a couple of inspirational thoughts to live by: To focus on what you want — how you want to feel and how you want to live and experience life.
This experience is a good thing to me, meeting this gentleman as I am experiencing the challenges of trying to be a positive encouragement to my daughter Angel in fighting her illness. I know Angel has the desire too, although in a different way and at a different level in her growth.
I’ve received little to no reaction from Angel about the positive encouragement of the family. On the other hand, this gentleman paid attention. Some of this, of course, is the big age difference, I imagine. Anyhow, I extended myself in friendship to have a walk and talk with my daughter early tomorrow morning, so as to be a curing support, and it feels good for me, too — although far outside my usual comfort zone.
1.What did the author react to the man’s talk?
A. She showed great pity to him. B. She chatted with him warmly.
C. She left him to go shopping. D. She tried to be a good listener.
2.Which of the following matches the author’s advice to the man?
A. Follow your own will to live. B. Do your best to change your life.
C. Live a meaningful life of your own. D. Gather your bravery to pull through.
3.What did the man and the author’s daughter have in common?
A. They had unique characters. B. They accepted advice easily.
C. They faced personal problems. D. They were strong-will persons.
4.What would the author do the next day?
A. Get in touch with the man. B. Take her daughter to hospital.
C. Communicate with her daughter. D. Tell her daughter to learn from the man.
