...Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. If you find yourself near someone crying, deal with it. And never be afraid to cry yourself....

I am afraid I don't get the meaning...If someone is "near" me and cries, why should I deal with it? Please advise.

In the context, it means you should not avoid or ignore a person who is crying. (People sometimes do this because they don't know how to react to a person who is crying.)

"Deal with it" = You should talk to/sympathize with/try to help the person who is crying. You should not ignore the fact that the person is crying.

By the way, Yankee. Do you watch Major League baseball on TV? Chien-Ming Wang, one of the Yankee's best pitchers, is from my country. Smile [:)]

Hi LCChang

I don't ususally choose to watch baseball on TV, but sometimes I have to because the male members of the family are watching it. Wink [;)]

I do enjoy going to baseball games, though.

I have heard of Chien-Ming Wang. He even has his own write-up in Wikipedia: Smile [:)]
