A "Pearl" in the Hair Salon
在日常的生活琐事中"我"看到了一颗善良真诚的"珍珠",她让我打破思维定式,跳出自己设定的框架,学会放慢生活的节奏,轻松生活.你的生活中有这样闪光的"珍珠"么?
—By Cabbage
I get my hair cut about twice a year,so making an appointment is a big deal for me.The woman who cuts my hair is a real sweetie and is more like a therapist* for everyone who walks into the door!It always amazes me that even though I don’t see her very often,she remembers everything about me.
Once upon a time,I called to make an appointment and found that everything was booked.However,to my great surprise,a few evenings later she called to tell me that someone had cancelled his appointment and I could go.So,I made a mental note to bring something special for her when I went for my haircut.
On the day of the appointment there was a great storm.As I was leaving work,I picked up a hot chocolate and an extra large chocolate cookie to give my hairstylist.I was driving slowly because of the weather and I was sure I would miss my appointment.Still,I wanted to give the hot chocolate to her.
Well,she was delighted to get the surprise and when I said perhaps I should make another appointment because I had missed the appointment and I had to go to the school to pick up my son.She just asked what time I needed to leave and promised me she would get the job done.
She did,and I did not only get to my son’s school safely in time,I was actually early!
Here is a pearl of wisdom that she shared with me on that rainy day,"I learned that the faster I get out of my own way,the smoother things will go!"Sometimes we are our own worst enemy!
Note:therapist n.(某治疗法的) 治疗专家
这一句：I learned that the faster I get out of my own way,the smoother things will go!
