Placing Stamps on a Letter
A lady employed a maid-servant being very stupid. She asked her to send a

letter, saying: "Go posting this letter, Betty, on which the stamp was

already placed, I'm afraid the letter will be overweight. If it is, place

the other penny stamp on it."Ten minutes later, Betty returned. The

hostess asked her, "Did you post my letter?" "Yes , I did,

Madam."answered Betty. "I hope you didn't place another stamp on the

letter that it would not cover up the address." "Oh, no, madam, I didn't

I placed the second stamp just on the first stamp."said Betty.

【每日背诵】
positive
Emphasizing the positive about ourselves helps us to maintain a positive

self-image,
what love really is.
and enables us to focus on what is good about ourselves
——and our lives. Such a healthy state
also gives us a much more relaxed demeanor in our dealings with other

people
as they respond to our positive energy,
seeing us as strong and confident people.


积极
强调自己的长处能帮助我们保持对自己的积极地认识
并将我们的注意力放在我们本身以及生活的积极的一面。
这种健康的心态还让我们更轻松自如的面对其他人——我们积极的表现，
会让我们成为他们眼中坚强和自信的人。
