A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage.
They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their
eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the
husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for work so
he asked the wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the
cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen totally
forgot the matter.
The boy playfully went to the medicine bottle and, fascinated
with its color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous
medicine meant for adults in small dosages.When the child
showed signs of poisoning the mother took him to the
hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was
terrified how to face her husband. When the distraught father
came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his
wife and uttered just four words.

ANSWER :
1. The husband just said "I Love You Darling" .
The husband's totally unexpected reaction is proactive
behavior. He is indeed a genius in human relationships. The
child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is
no point in finding fault with the mother. She had also lost
her only child. What she needed at that moment was
consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he
gave her.
2. If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective,
there would be much fewer problems in the world. To be happy
with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a
little. To be happy with a woman you must understand her a
lot and love her with all your heart. "A journey of a
thousand miles, begins with but with a single step." Take off
all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and
fears AND you will find things are actually not so difficult
as you think."
