"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." (Proverbs 15:1 NIV)
When I grow up little by little, and steps by steps, I had discovered beauty in my daily life. And I also discover some beauty when I am learning, that’s amazing.
As we all know, the word “family” means father and mother I love you; the word “team” means together everyone (to) achieve more. Every word has to begin with a story. Let us open our eyes to find the beauty around us. Maybe there are some incompleteness, please forgive me.
Today, I want to share a word, which is "RESPONSE". "Response" is part of responsibility, so it requires ability. Everyone has each responsibilty to take. So, everyone is able to bring influnence to others. Likewise, every choice we make, we may get a counsequence whether good or bad. We need pay more attention to what we do. Response can be acted in differnent ways.
R – Reaction
Response is how we react the surroundings, And our reaction is decided by our thoughts, every decision we make is also by our thoughts. So we must be careful with that. Every action we make, every word we say, and every body language we take will bring influence to others. Why we should take care with our reaction? For example, we can hurt others by an eye contact, even we don't mean to do that. I think most of us have the same feeling so. I know it's not easy to care all reactionswe make, so that's why we should take care and avoid every misunderstanding as we can.
E – Encouragement
Encouragement is also a kind of way to respond. As a human been, people desire to be built up. And every encouragement and every commendation can do it. It does not only make us happier, and also help us to grow healthier. Some encouragements are a little bit strange, like to correct you. We need take a good attitude to face it. I hope everyone can discover other's good character and commend the good character, not to judge only. Because everyone deserve it. Maybe we can learn something new.
S – Subjective
Everyone is special, and everyone is unique, so every response we live is different. But we should distinguish between individuality and self-centeredness. Since we were born as a baby, we always thought around ourselves. It started from every crying, every laughing, and so on. We always think about ourselves, so when something is against us, we may feel sad, or we may ignore these things. Even worse, we may argue or fight for it. These are the immature way, so we need balance well in this part.
P – Positive
I think every response we give should be positive because when we express positively, the good things will return to us. Even though when we get bad response we should forgive them. And give thank in all circumstances. "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. "(James 1:2-3 NIV)
O – Objective
The opposite of subjective is objective. Most times when we talk about something, we should think from different perspectives when we do things. We can’t be extreme. The words of wisdom said: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.
N – Negative
The opposite of positive is negative, we are human being, everyone makes mistakes, and we need to repent what we do something wrong, and learn from the experiences. Some negative response can destroy something, like relationships, and bring bad influence. It is hard to rebuild up. We must bear the results when we do something whether right or wrong. We also need learn to accept the suggestions from others wisely, and also to reject the tempatation.
S – Silence
Some responses are different, we can be just silent. Sometimes we needn’t talk too much, maybe others feel too noisy. We just do it. And we have to lead by example. "Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues." (Proverbs 17:28 NIV)
E – Excellence
In one word, giving response seems not very easy to achieve. But we should have a good attitude to face everything, it is not too difficult. Let us pursue excellence. Try our best.Finally, I wish everyone can use your own way to bring the best response to others. Put down ourselves. Love more. The world will be better, be more beautiful.
