RIGHT SPEECH

There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning
that "A speech will
either prosper or ruin a nation." Many relationships
break off because
of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each
other, we always forget mutual respect and courtesy.
We may say anything without considering if it would
hurt the other party.

A friend and her millionaire husband visited their
construction site. A
worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted," I,
Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary
school." On the way home, her millionaire husband
teased her, "Luckily you married me. Otherwise you
will be the wife of a construction worker." She
answered," You should appreciate that you married me.
Otherwise, he will be the millionaire and not you."
Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed
for a bad
relationship. It's like a broken egg - cannot be
reversed.
