There was an old lock shop on a quiet old city street.People usually came here to buy
locks and keys and sometimes to get the similar keys for their locks.The shop was always
full of the sounds of metal clinking(叮当声)and the occasional laughter of customers.
There was a heavy hammer in the shop which was used to break many things,useless
locks included.It often wondered,“ What is the secret of these small keys?They can open
even such strong locks very soon.But I don't know how many times I have to hit to open
the same lock.”
One day,after the shop was closed,the hammer asked the small key,“ How are you
able to open even hard locks so easily?Though I'm so strong,I can't do this."
The key said," You use force to open the lock.By doing so,the lock doesn't open but
breaks.I don't hurt it,but I enter its heart and it will open at once.”
Something similar happens in our life.If we want to win someone's heart,we should
not use force or pressure.Instead,we need to understand and respect others,and show
kindness and sincerity(真诚).Just as the key enters the lock's heart,we can enter others'
hearts by being gentle and considerate.For example,when you have a disagreement t with a
friend,instead of arguing loudly,try to listen to their side of the story and share your
feelings calmly.This way,you can build a stronger and more meaningful relationship.
