Mum always awoke early. When she was working as an actress she thought: Sooner or later they will realize their mistake and will send me home. To get rid of that
fear, she would get up before “they” did,to go over her lines. In order to look perfect on the set, fresh,without a single negative thought that might ruffle her smile, she had to arise between four and five in the morning and gather her strength.
Mum, like any wise family doctor, believed in the virtues of a good breakfast. She never skipped it. She knew how to be persuasive and from the time I was a little boy she would cut slices of buttered bread-she called them “fingers”-for dipping in soft-boiled eggs. However, what left an impression about her breakfast went beyond those toasted rectangles of bread.
During the last years of her life, this morning interlude was also a time for confidences. If my brother and I were at her Swiss home, breakfast would be in the kitchen's office. She would come downstairs in her robe, and while having a cake and a cup of coffee, almost unconsciously, small talk would turn into a confession (忏悔).One day she uneasily told me about the painful circumstances of her separation from my father. I learned to know her better at the breakfast table.
But it was not always a time for discussion. Returning from a trip, or on a Sunday,she would honor the day of rest with a small luxury, something unusual for her:breakfast in bed. It was like a prize she awarded herself, and it was enjoyed all the more if the tray were filled with tidbits, such as homemade cake or cherry jam, along with toast, coffee, milk, butter, a small from the garden in a tiny vase, and on the side

Explain, don't excuse
Because admitting to being wrong is painful and can make people worried that they're a bad person, they often water down their apology with excuses. For example, “I certainly apologize if I offended anyone” and “I’m very sorry,but in my defense ,you started it.”
34 Giner-Sorolia says, “It uses the form of an apology-'I'm sorry'- but follows it up by shifting responsibility to the offended person, implying he or she is too sensitive.'' \adds Mara Olekalns, a professor at Melbourne Business School.
Let your body do the talking
Experts agree that face-to-face apologies beat phoned-in, e-mailed, or handwritten ones. “Facial expressions, posture, and the tone of voice have all been shown to be important channels that convey sincerity when you express regret,” Giner-Sorolla says. “Anyone can type” “I feel really ashamed, but if you say it live, it‘s obvious whether or not you mean it.
A phone call is second best: You'll convey emotions with your voice and get instant feedback. E-mailed apologies aren't perfect. They lack emotional connections. 35 “A victim can abuse written apologies and do harm to the apologizer.” Mullet says.
A. A little cool-off time could help.
B. That sort of apology has a name-a nonapology.
C. Is there more to saying sorry than just saying \
D. Tliere is nothing worse in these situations than sincere apologies. E. Once you've typed them, the receivers can forward them to anyone.
F. Being a victim does not automatically transform a person into a good person. G. Therefore, the best time to apologize is when one feels ready to sincerely apologize.
