Real Friend，Real Meaning

envy my luck？”When we look back，doubts like these can make us feel bad.But when we look back，it’s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies？Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning.And if we don’t really listen，we will miss the meaning behind the words.Suppose someone tells you，“You’re a lucky dog.”and that’s friendly.But a “lucky dog”？There’s a bit of envy in those words.Maybe he doesn’t see it himself.But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little.What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you observe your luck.
Just think of all the things you have to be “thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another.It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole.But is he？Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important.It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words？One way is to take a good look at the person talking.Do his words fit the way he looks？Does what he says agree with the tone of voice？His posture(姿态)？The look in his eyes？Stop and think.The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

The implication(含义) of saying “You are the prettiest girl in class” or talking about the goals she succeed but not her overall effort is that you love her only when she looks the best，scores the highest，achieves the most.And this carries over to the classroom.
Social psychologist Carrol Dweck，PhD，tested the effects of overpraise on 400 fifth graders while she was at Columbia University.She found that kids praised for “trying hard” did better on tests and were more likely to take on difficult assignments than those praised for being “smart”．
“Praising attributes(品质) or abilities makes a false promise that success will come to you because you have that quality，and it devalues effort，so children are afraid to take on challenges，”says Dweck，now at Stanford University，“They figure they’d better quit while they’re ahead.”

Yang Wenhui,32 years old，worked at the office of a company prefer to quit the job.“My job was dull and steady.I was not promoted.My wife，in contrast，really likes her job.So，after our baby was born，I chose to stay at home and take care of the family while my wife works outside home，”said Yang.Sociologists have found the fulltime house husband emerges in three main situations.
Firstly，if the wife is ambitious，wellpaid and has good job prospects，while her husband is paid poorly and has no job prospects，it makes economic sense for the woman to become the main income earner for the household.Secondly，if the wife is
