有爱就拥有一切
有一天，一个妇女走出家门看见三位留着长白胡须的老人坐在她的前院里。她不认识这三位
老人，说道：我不认识你们，但是你们看上去一定饿了，请进来吃点东西吧。"男主人在家吗”？
他们问到。“不，他出去了”妇女答道。“那么我们不能进来”老人们回答说。
晚上当她的丈夫回家时，她告诉了丈夫所发生的事情。“你去告诉他们我已经在家了邀请他们
进来吧"."我们不能一起进屋”他们答道。“为什么”妇女想知道原因。其中一位老人解释道：他的名
字叫财富，并且指向他的这位朋友。然后指向另外一位朋友说道：他是成功，而我是爱。他又补
充道：现在你去和你的丈夫讨论一下你们想邀请我们之中哪一位进屋。
于是妇女走进房门告诉丈夫老人们所说的。她的丈夫听了极其高兴，说道：太好了！“既然这
样的话，我们就邀请财富让他进来，让我们家充满财富吧”。但是他的妻子不同意，“我的天，我
们为什么不邀请成功呢”？他们的媳妇在房屋隔壁一角听到了他们的对话，她打断了对话并且给
出了自己的意见：为什么不邀请爱呢？让我们家充满爱不是很好吗？“我们还是听从媳妇的意见
吧”丈夫对妻子说到。“出去邀请爱作为我们家的客人吧”。妇女走出门问了三位老人“谁是爱，请
进门成为我们家的贵客”。爱站了起来走向屋子，另外两位也起身跟着他。妇女很惊讶，问了财
富和成功：我只是邀请爱，为什么你们要进来呢？”两位老人异口同声回答道:如果你邀请了财富
或者成功，我们两个之中的一个会离开，但是你既然选择了爱，无论他走到哪里，我们都要伴随
他，有爱的地方就有财富和成功！
One day, a woman came out of her house and saw three old men with long w
hite beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said,"I d
on't think I know you , but you must be hungry. Please come in and have so
mething to eat.""Is the man of the house at home?"they asked. "No," she said. "H
e's out." "Then we cannot come in." they replied.
In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.
"Go to tell them I am home and invite them in.""We can not go into a house
together." they replied. "Why is that?" she wanted to know. One of the old men
explained:" His name is Wealth,"he said, pointing to one of his friends, and then
pointed to another one. "He is success, and I am love." Then he added, "Now
go in and discuss whth your husband which one of us you wanna be in your
home."
The woman went in and told her husband what the old man had said. Her hus
band was overjoyed. "How nice!" he said , "Since that is the case, let us invi
te 'Wealth' and let him come and fill our home with wealth!" His wife disagreed.
"My dear. why don't we invite 'success'? " Their daughter-in-law was listening fro
m the other corner of the house . She jumped in with her own suggestion:"Wo
uld it not be better to invite 'Love'? our home will then be filled with love! "
"Let us take our daughter-in-law's advice," said the husband to his wife . "Go o
ut and invite 'love' to be our guest." The woman went out and asked the three
old men, "Who is 'love'? please come in and be our guest." "Love" got up and
started walking toward the house. The other two also got up and followed him.
To her surprise, the lady asked Wealth and success:"I only invited 'love'. Why are
you coming in?"
The old men replied together ,"if you had invited 'Wealth' or 'success' the other
two of us would stayed out , but since you invited 'Love' , wherever he goes,
we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!.

为什么男人赢不了？
如果你工作太投入，就没时间陪她。如果你工作得不够久，你就是个废物。
如果她有一份低薪而又重复作业的无聊工作，那是额外收入。如果你有这样一份工作，你就该拍拍屁
股走人，找份更好的。
如果你晋升得比她快，那是不公。如果她的工作比你的好，那是机会平等。
如果你谈起她有多美，那是性骚扰。如果你沉默不语，那是男人的无视。
如果你哭了，你就是个懦夫。如果你不哭，你就是个冷血之徒。
如果你不请示她而擅自做了决定，混帐，你这头沙猪。如果她果断下了决定而无需你的意见，她是个
自由女性。
如果你让她做不喜欢做的事，那是专制。如果她让你做你不喜欢的事，那是一种恩惠。
如果你试图保持身材，你很虚荣。如果你不那么做，你很懒惰。
如果你送花给她，你是在追求点什么。如果你不送她花，你就太不体贴了。
如果你骄傲于自己的成就，你就是自高自大。如果你并不为此自豪，你就是胸无大志。
如果她头痛，那是累了。如果你头痛，你不但不再爱她，一定还到处拈花若草。
If you work too hard, there is never any time for her. If you don’t work enough, you’re a
good-for-nothing bum.
If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay, it’s exploitation. If you have a boring
repetitive job with low pay, you should get off your ass and find something better.
If you get a promotion ahead of her, it’s favoritism. If she gets a job ahead of you, it’s
equal opportunity.
If you mention how nice she looks, it’s sexual harassment. If you keep quiet, it’s male
indifference.
If you cry, you’re a wimp. If you don’t, you’re insensitive.
If you make a decision without consulting her, you’re a chauvinist pig, you bastard. If she
makes a decision without consulting you, she’s a liberated woman.
If you ask her to do something she doesn’t enjoy, that’s domination.
If she asks you, it’s a favor.
If you try to keep yourself in shape, you’re vain. If you don’t, you’re a slob.
If you buy her flowers, you’re after something. If you don’t, you’re not thoughtful.
If you’re proud of your achievements, you’re an egotist. If you’re not, you’re not ambitious.
If she has a headache, she’s tired. If you have a headache, you don’t love her anymore,
and you must be sleeping around.
