Two men, both seriously ill, being treated in a hospital room. One of them suffered from an illness that required him to sit up in bed for an hour in every afternoon to empty the fluid from his lungs. The bed of this man is right on the side window the only one in the room.While the other man should lay flat against his back.Every day they talked to each other for hours. They talked about their wives and families, homes, jobs, their involvement in the army, and the places they've visited over the holidays.
Every afternoon, when the man whose bed was near the window allowed to sit, he tells of what is seen outside the window to his roommate. During the one hour that is, men can only lie felt so happy and excited to imagine what a vast and beautiful of all the activities and beautiful colors that exist out there."Outside the window, saw a friend with a beautiful pond, ducks and geese swim pretty, while the children play with toy boats. Some couples walking hand in the middle of the park is filled with various flowers colored like a rainbow. A large old trees adorn the park. Far up there looks stunning city skyline.

The words that come out of our mouth with or without us knowing it gives a great influence on others. Be careful to speak, not to what we are talking about breaking the spirit and undermine the spirit of the lives of others. We certainly do not want to be treated badly and received an unpleasant words from others. Do the same to others if we want to be treated well. Words like a double-edged sword. Can raise the spirit and the cause of happiness if that came out were the words of the wise of heart is sincere. Also painful and leave scars if the words of scorn and ridicule from an evil heart. If you've left wounds in the liver, is like driving a nail on a chip, even when removed will leave scars remain forever. We certainly do not want to regret later on. Say the good words from the heart always.
