13、a well-known botanist at a dinner party. I had never talked with a botanist before, and I found him very interesting. I sat there absorbed and listened while he spoke of unusual plants and his experiments (he even told me astonishing facts about the simple potato). I had a small indoor garden of my

14、own and he was good enough to tell me how to solve some of my problems. As I said, we were at a dinner party. There must have been a dozen other guests, but I broke an important rule of politeness. I ignored everyone else and talked for hours to the botanist. Midnight came. I said good night to ever

15、yone and departed. The botanist then turned to our host and said many nice things about me, including that I was a “most interesting conversationalist”. An interesting conversationalist? I had said hardly anything at all. I couldnt have said anything if I had wanted to without changing the subject,

16、for I didnt know any more about plants than I knew about sharks. But I had done this one thing: I had listened carefully. I listened because I was really interested. And he felt it.

17、m feel great too. “Few human beings,” wrote Jack Woodford in Strangers in Love, “can resist the sweet effect of rapt attention.” I went even further than that. I was “sincere in my admiration and generous in my praise”. I told him that I had been hugely entertained and instructed. I told him I wishe

18、d I had his knowledge. I told him I should love to wander the fields with him. Whats more, it was all true.

When you say the words “I love you”, make sure you really mean it and are willing to do anything for that special person. _37_ If you love someone, yo

24、u should understand how they feel, where they come from, and who they are. Realize how they could also love you back just as well. Love Unconditionally.
