If you say thank you, for even the smallest gift or slightest show of kindness, youll feel happy.Gratitude (感谢), says Robert A. Emmons, a professor of psychology at the University of California, is an important element of happiness. In his recent book, Thanks!, Emmons uses the first major study on gratitude to prove moms point. In acknowledging and developing this much-ignored expression of thankfulness, he explains how people have benefited even improved their health. As one of the leading scholars of the positive psychology movement, he admits gratitude maybe difficult to express. He advises you to begin by admitting that life is good and full of events and elements that make daily existence a wonder. Second, recognize that the source of lifes goodness is more than just you. That source may be your mom, a friend, partner, child, colleague at work or play, or any combination of these.Gratitude is always other-directed, notes Emmons. You can be pleased or angry with yourself and feel guilty about doing something wrong, but you can never be grateful to or for yourself. Expressing gratitude shouldnt be a reaction; it should be a state of mind. To feel grateful when life is a breeze and you have more than you need is easy. To feel grateful in time of crisis anger, hatred and bitterness is easier. Also, too many people are aware of lifes blessings only after these are lost. The voices expressing gratitude from his studies of individuals are many.Its crisis and chaos danger, disease, disability and death that bring many individuals to realize just how dependent they are on others. Yet its the way each of us begins life and ends it. Its too bad that so many people waste those decades in between labouring under the illusion (幻觉)they are self-sufficient, says Emmons.To enable and embrace gratitude, Emmons encourages the readers of Thanks! to keep a gratitude diary. He even provides easy-to-follow directions on how to practise and cultivate gratitude. Im not a reader or advocate of self-help books, but I am thankful for the reference I found in a newspaper article to the research Emmons was conducting on gratitude involving organ donors and recipients (接受者). The chance discovery led me to this book.Mom implied that kindness seems to find its way back to the giver because life really is all about giving, receiving and repaying. So Ill pay attention to her professional advice and say: Thank you, professor Emmons. DWhen I was quite young, my father had one of the first telephones in our neighborhood. I remember well the polished old case fastened to the wall. The shiny receiver hung on the side of the box. I was too little to reach the telephone, but used to listen with great interest when my mother used to talk to it. Then I discovered that somewhere inside the wonderful device lived an amazing person her name was Information Please and there was nothing she did not know. Information Please could supply anybodys number.My first personal experience with Information Please came one day while my mother was visiting a neighbor. I accidentally hit my finger with a hammer. The pain was terrible, but there didnt seem to be any reason in crying because there was no one home to give sympathy. I walked around the house sucking my hurting finger, finally arriving at the stairway The telephone! Climbing up I unhooked the receiver and held it to my ear. “Information Please,” I said. A click or two and a small clear voice spoke into my ear. “Information.”“I hurt my finger ” I cried. The tears came readily enough now that I had an audience. “Isnt your mother home?” came the question. “Nobodys home but me.” I sobbed. “Are you bleeding?” “No,” I replied. “I hit my finger with the hammer and it hurts.” “Can you open your icebox?” she asked. I said I could. “Then chip off a little piece of ice and hold it to your finger.”After that I called Information Please for everything. I asked her for help with my geography and she told me where Philadelphia was. And there was the time that Petey, our pet canary (金丝 “Information.” I hadnt planned this but I heard myself saying, “Could you tell me please how to spell fix?” There was a long pause. Then came the soft spoken answer, “I guess that your finger must have healed by now.” I laughed, “So its really still you,” I said. “I wonder if you have any idea how much you meant to me during that time.”“I wonder,” she said, “if you know how much your calls meant to me. I never had any children, and I used to look forward to your calls.”I told her how often I had thought of her over the years and I asked if I could call her again when I came back to visit my sister.“Please do; just ask for Sally.”Just three months later I was back in Seattle A different voice answered Information and I asked for Sally.“Are you a friend?” “Yes, a very old friend.” “Then Im sorry to have to tell you. Sally has been working part-time the last few years because she was sick. She passed away five weeks ago.” But before I could hang up she said, “Wait a minute. Did you say your name was Paul?”“Yes.”“Well, Sally left a message for you. She
