One day the wind said to the sun, “Look at that man walking along the road. I can get his cloak off more quickly than you can.” “We will see about that,” said the sun. “I will let you try first.” So the wind tried to make the man take off his cloak. He blew and blew, but the man only pulled his cloak more closely around himself. “I give up,” said the wind at last. “I cannot get his cloak off.” Then the sun tried. He shone as hard as he could. The man soonbecame hot and took off his cloak.
风想脱掉行人的大衣，他用力地吹，但行人因为感到寒冷更加拽紧了衣服，而太阳只是照耀着行人，却使他自己脱掉了衣服。读完这个故事，你有什么感受呢?这个故事说明了劝说往往比强迫更为有效。晓之以理胜于命之以令， 仁慈、温和与说服胜过强迫。用温和的方式更容易达到目的。待人处事不是给人压力、给人逼迫就能成功，就能获胜，使用暴力，是无法令人心服口服的，反而是要给人温暖、尊重，让人心生欢喜、心悦诚服，才是胜利者。
