【推荐1】When my children were teenagers, I _________ a fridge magnet with what was said to be a First Nation or Native American prayer. I _________ it on the door of our refrigerator in full view. I found the words to be meaningful and hoped they would teach my children to have more patience and be more _________ of others.

Although my children are _________ now, with homes of their own. I’ve kept the magnet on our fridge door for the past twenty-five years. During that time, I’ve often found that the _________ has helped me see situations from a different perspective.

For example, a number of years ago, I was on my way to a farewell function with several colleagues. As we were leaving the office, we _________ our other colleague, Wendy, who had previously planned to attend the event with us. I asked Wendy if she wanted us to wait for her, and she responded in a fairly rude manner, _________ our invitation. One of my other colleagues was quite annoyed about Wendy’s behavior. “I don’t know why you even _________ to invite her,” she said. _________ on how tired Wendy appeared as she rushed away from us, I commented that perhaps we should just give Wendy a __________ and forgive her for being rude at the last minute. She was __________ having a bad day, and it wasn’t worth holding a grudge (怨恨) against her if we weren’t aware of what caused her unusual behavior.

A week later, I learned that when we came across Wendy, she was returning to the office from a medical appointment __________ she was told she had pancreatic cancer. She died a year later. Wendy wasn’t being rude to us; she had just received a very __________ diagnosis.

Whether it’s a family member who let me down, a friend who __________ a confidence, or a difficult colleague, the quote on my fridge guided me. Although it’s not always easy to forgive, I’ve been able to ________ a lot of grudge over the years by focusing on my mantra.
