However if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news his head was cut off Shades of that spirit spread over today s conversations Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing As we walked light heartedly out the door picnic basket in hand a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said Oh boy bad day for a picnic The weatherman says it s going to rain I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches Not for his stupid weather report for his smile Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter the sales agent said with a broad smile Oh that bus left five minutes ago Dreams of head cutting It s not the news that makes someone angry It s the unsympathetic attitude with which it s delivered Everyone must give bad news from time to time and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude A doctor advising a patient that

told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy I would have appreciated his warning Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left I probably would have said Oh that s all right I ll catch the next one Big winners when they bear bad news deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded 被轰炸的 person is sure to have 语篇解读 当我们告诉别人不好的消息时 我们应该以同情的表情和语气来表达 2 1 In
