This incident occurred during our trip to Cape Cod ,a beautiful sea resort about three-hour drive from the city of Boston.

Our daughter Margaret who then lived in Salem close to Boston dropped us off at one of the pick-up points of the tour bus in Boston that morning. We decided to return home on our own as we thought that we could catch a local train back to Salem from Boston. Margaret insisted that she come to pick us up in the evening but we were confident of our ability to find our way and, not wanting to trouble her, refused her offer.

We had a great time in Cape Cod and returned to Boston at six in the evening. Yet by mistake, we got off the bus one stop before the actual Boston commuter rail station. My husband insisted that he had a very good memory and a keen sense of direction and so I blindly followed him, without knowing where we were heading to. It was not until around the rail's closing hour that we realized we were completely lost with the station nowhere in sight! It being a Sunday, the roads were deserted with not many people walking around. Worse still, our phones were out of battery. That was when we saw a young man coming from the opposite direction. We approached him and explained the situation. On hearing our problem, he personally took us to the station just a few blocks away.

Upon reaching there, we found to our disappointment that the dollar coins which we put into the ticket machine just fell through the outlet without printing our tickets. "Only credit card works," a woman told us before she left.

Obviously, we confidently brought with us no credit card but only enough coins for the return tickets. As we turned around, we saw the young man still there.

Listen to your sad friends. Half of the time, sad or stressed people aren't really looking for an artswer; they just want to be heard and have a chance to let out. Do you know why they're sad? Do they seem like sharing their feelings with you?

Ask them relevant questions. There's no better way to get involved in the conversation other than asking questions, especially questions about how the other person feels. Instead, your questions should motivate the person to talk about their feelings.

After figuring out just what the problem is, take a bit of time to think over what their best choice of action might be. Let them know you have an idea of what they could do. If you don't, be honest to them. Take them to a person who has a better fix for the problem than you have.

Get face to face if possible. For as great and easy technology makes life, it can also make everything a bit more difficult.

A. Give them advice when asked.

B. Share a similar story if appropriate.

C. It's best to show you really care in person.
