"Those with a large social circle are
actually less satisfied with their lives than those with a smaller group of
friends who are close to them." This finding appears in a report released last
week, which is a part of the product of a 1-year social research program. More
than 1,000 persons are interviewed about their attitude and feeling for their
friends. And those interviewed are diversified, from the perspective of gender,
age, and occupation as well as marital statues. "Of course, we can not imagine a life without any friend", said Jeff, one of the researchers from the research program, "but when it comes to friends, it is definitely not a matter of the more, the better".

Quality Circle [简答题]
Once a circle missed a wedge. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole, with nothing missing. It incorporated the missing piece into itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice flowers or talk to the worms.

(47) The lesson of the story, I suggested, was that in some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something. 我来回答: 提交
