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）傾聽……

    你要真正地傾聽。不要插話，不要走神，不要考慮如何回答。只是聽。

    ２）感情……

    毫不吝惜恰當的擁抱、親吻、輕拍后背、手拉著手。讓這些小小的舉動向家人和朋友表達你對他們的愛。

    ３）笑聲……

    剪切卡通片。與他人分享有趣的文章和故事。你的故事會說：“我喜歡和你一起笑。”

    ４）手寫便條……

    可以是簡單的“謝謝幫助”的條子，也可以是一首完整的十四行詩。一張簡單的手寫便條會讓人一生銘記，甚至可能改變人的一生。

    ５）贊美……

    簡單而真誠的一句，“你穿紅色真好看，”“你做了件極好的工作”或者“這頓飯太棒了！”有可能令人開心一整天。

    ６）做好事……

    每天，不怕麻煩，特意做件好事。

    ７）獨處……

    有時，我們會只想單獨呆著。注意這樣的時刻，把獨處的禮物送給別人。

    ８）快樂性格……

    讓自己感覺良好的最簡單方式是對別人說句友好的話，真的，說“你好”或“謝謝你”不是那么難。朋友是珍稀的珠寶，真的。他們給我們帶來快樂，鼓勵我們成功。他們注意傾聽，與我們分享贊美的話語。他們永遠愿意向我們敞開胸懷。
