浪漫像盐

年轻的女孩一心向往浪漫。
要浪漫的约会,然后浪漫的求婚,浪漫的婚礼,浪漫的日子。。。 。。。
在他的想象中,爱情是浪漫的,婚宴也是浪漫的。
浪漫究竟是什么一回事?
在你住的家的公寓楼下,向往在三楼的你高呼我爱你?下雨的时候,淋着大雨不打伞在你办公室楼下等你?在报纸上打一个全版广告,向全城人诉说对你的爱情?
记得有一个广告界朋友,向女友求婚时,竟是请工人花了一个晚上,在大道边的广告板,贴上他手持戒指的大照片,写上大字“依莲,我爱你!请你嫁给我!”而早上睡醒的女友依莲,被同事的电话叫醒,结果流着感动的眼泪说:“我愿意。”因为他感觉全世界的人都看见了男友对她的爱。
爱情不是两个人的事吗?需要劳师动众,需要向众人诉说?
可是,这才够浪漫呀!年轻女孩都期待,也有一个这样昭告天下的示众求婚广告版,在路边让所有过路的行人、所有开车的司机都看得见。
真正的婚姻,只有少少的浪漫,其他的日子不过是平常生活。
平淡才是生活的主体,浪漫,是一点点盐,让菜肴味道更好。要是吃下一大把盐,味道是苦的。
当然,年轻的女孩不会相信,但没关系,日久见世情。
生活会让她明白,浪漫像盐,可以增加生活的美味,但不是生活的全部。

How stress effects people

Stress is something that all of us experience from time to time. Most people see stress as a bad thing, but we can all use a bit of stress now and then. It makes us do things at time when we need a push; is gets us out of our chair; it makes us think about things differently; it makes us seek solutions to problems; and it sometimes makes us sensitive to what others might think of us and our actions.
Everyone will experience stress at some level. We all do, and we should not be afraid. However, we do have to be careful ot stress that is severe or that lasts too long. This is because it will become unhelthy and be hard for us to control. So, although stress has its place in all out lives, we cannot have too much of it.
Too much stress can be disabling. It can make us feel very unhappy, as if we no longer are in control of our lives. It can immobilise us and lower our productivity level, and it can make us fail to operate successfully. However, it is difficult to generalise about stress because a satisfactory level of stress for one person may be a disabling level for anther.
You are probably familiar with charts taht can tell you the appropriate weight for you to be healthy by just looking at your height and age. Unfortunately there is no such table for stress.
