今天看《how to win friends and influence people》即《人性的弱点》英文原版，里面有个段子，一位太太参加了教会的一个改革小组。
回到家后，她请她先生列举她的6个缺点，并打算针对这些缺点进行改进。
可她先生说“我很惊讶！老实说，要我列举6点她要改进的地方太容易了。但是，要知道，她可以列举我1000多个可以改进的点啊！所以，我只能说‘媳妇，让我想一下，明天早上我会给你答案～～’”。
隔天一大早，他打电话到花店订了6朵玫瑰花并附上留言条“亲爱的，我想不出要你改变的6条建议。我就喜欢你现在的样子～～”。
结果当然很美好，当先生下班回家时，太太就站在门口迎接，感动的差点流泪。
以下是原文：
A member of one of our classes told of a request made by his wife.she and a group of other women in her church were involved in a self-improvement program.
she asked her husband to help her by listing six things he believed she could do to help her become a better wife.
he reported to the class:"I was surprised by such a request.Frankly,it would have been easy for me to list six things I would like to change about her---my heavens, she could have listed a thousand things she would like to change about me--but I didn't.i said to her'Let me think about it and give you an answer in the morning.'"
"The next morning I got up very early and called the florist and had them send six red roses to my wife with a note saying:'I can't think of six things I would like to change about you.i love you the way you are'"
"when I arrived at home that evening, who do you think greeted me at the door?That's right.My wife!She was almost in tears.Needless to say, I was extremely glad I had not criticized her as she had requested".
