1) THE GIFT OF LISTENING . . .

    But you must REALLY listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response. Just listening.

    2) THE GIFT OF AFFECTION . . .

    Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back and handholds. Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for family and friends.

    3) THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER . . .

    Clip cartoons. Share articles and funny stories. Your gift will say, "I love to laugh with you."

    4) THE GIFT OF A WRITTEN NOTE . . .

    It can be a simple "Thanks for the help" note or a full sonnet. A brief, handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime, and may even change a life.

    5) THE GIFT OF A COMPLIMENT . . .

    A simple and sincere, "You look great in red," "You did a super job" or "That was a wonderful meal" can make someone's day.

    6) THE GIFT OF A FAVOR . . .

    Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.

    7) THE GIFT OF SOLITUDE . . .

    There are times when we want nothing better than to be left alone. Be sensitive to those times and give the gift of solitude to others.

    8) THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION . . .

    The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone, really it's not that hard to say, Hello or Thank You. Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.

    １）倾听……

    你要真正地倾听。不要插话，不要走神，不要考虑如何回答。只是听。

    ２）感情……

    毫不吝惜恰当的拥抱、亲吻、轻拍后背、手拉着手。让这些小小的举动向家人和朋友表达你对他们的爱。

    ３）笑声……

    剪切卡通片。与他人分享有趣的文章和故事。你的故事会说：“我喜欢和你一起笑。”

    ４）手写便条……

    可以是简单的“谢谢帮助”的条子，也可以是一首完整的十四行诗。一张简单的手写便条会让人一生铭记，甚至可能改变人的一生。

    ５）赞美……

    简单而真诚的一句，“你穿红色真好看，”“你做了件极好的工作”或者“这顿饭太棒了！”有可能令人开心一整天。

    ６）做好事……

    每天，不怕麻烦，特意做件好事。

    ７）独处……

    有时，我们会只想单独呆着。注意这样的时刻，把独处的礼物送给别人。

    ８）快乐性格……

    让自己感觉良好的最简单方式是对别人说句友好的话，真的，说“你好”或“谢谢你”不是那么难。朋友是珍稀的珠宝，真的。他们给我们带来快乐，鼓励我们成功。他们注意倾听，与我们分享赞美的话语。他们永远愿意向我们敞开胸怀。
