Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jerry good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, its too late. Why do we go wrong about our friendsor our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And id we dont really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “youre a lucky dog”. Is he really on your side? If he says, “youre a lucky guy” or “youre a lucky gal”, thats being friendly. But “lucky dog”? Theres a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesnt see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesnt think you deserve your luck. How can you tell the real meaning behind someones words? One way is to take a good look at the person taking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture (体态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.,31. From the questions in the first paragraph we can learn that the speaker_.
