me to hit.
One day at the park, a woman pushing a young boy in a wheelchair stopped to watch us play. My dad was
over to them in a flash to ask if the child could join our game. The woman explained that her son had polio (小
儿麻痹症) and wouldn"t be able to get out of the chair. That didn"t stop my dad. He placed the bat in the
youngster"s hand, pushed him out to home plate and assisted him in holding the bat. Then he yelled out to me,
"Anne, pitch one in to us."
I saw the delight in the boy"s eyes, so I aimed at the bat and let the ball fly. The ball made contact with the
bat with an assist from my dad and the child screamed with joy. As I turned, I heard my dad singing Take Me
Out to the Ball Game.
An hour later we all left the field, very tired but very happy. Dad told the mother to bring the boy back next
Saturday and we would play another game.
Dad and I were at the field the next Saturday but the mother and son never came Twenty years passed, with
my dad gone, I had very mixed emotions about leaving the neighborhood. Before moving I decided to take one
last walk around the park where Dad and I had spent so many happy moments. Two Little League teams were
on the field just about to start a game I felt the sting of tears in my eyes as I watched the children play the game.
"Jeff, protect your base," one coach yelled I cheered the runner on when the ball was hit far into the outfield.
The coach turned and smiled, "I never thought I"d ever be a coach playing on this field You see, I had polio as
a child and was restricted to a wheelchair. Thanks to a man"s assistance, I was able to hit the ball and hear him
singing the song Take Me Out to the Ball Game. I believe that experience gave me the desire to walk again I hope
that some day I"ll look up in the stands and see that man and his daughter again I sure would like to thank him."

One girl decided to study judo (柔道) although she had lost her left arm in a car accident. The girl began lessons with an old Japanese judo instructor. The girl was doing well. So she couldn"t understand why, after three months of training, the instructor had taught her only one move. "Instructor," the girl finally said, "Shouldn"t I be learning more moves?" "This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you"ll ever need to know," the instructor replied. Not quite understanding, but believing in her teacher, the girl kept training. Several months later, the instructor took the girl to her first tournament. Surprising herself, the girl easily won her first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, her opponent became impatient and charged. The girl skillfully used her one move to win the match. Still amazed by her success, the girl was now in the finals. This time, her opponent was bigger, stronger and more experienced. For a while, the girl appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the girl might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. She was about to stop the match when the instructor intervened (干预). "No," the instructor insisted, "Let her continue." Soon after the match restarted, her opponent made a serious mistake: she dropped her guard. Instantly, the girl used her move to pin her opponent. The girl had won the match and the tournament. She was the champion. On the way home, the girl and her teacher reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the girl gathered the courage to ask what was really on her mind. "Instructor, how did I win the tournament with only one move?" "You won for two reasons," the teacher answered. "First, you"ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm." The girl"s biggest weakness had become her biggest strength. | |||||||||||||||||||||

God"s Coffee A group of schoolmates who have left school for several years, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into 1 about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and 2 with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups-porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some graceful-telling them to 3 themselves to the coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said. " 4 you noticed, 5 the nice looking expensive cups were 6 , leaving behind the 7 and cheap ones. 8 it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the 9 of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases 10 hides what we drink. What all of you 11 wanted was coffee, not the cup, 12 you consciously 13 the best cups... And then you began 14 each other"s cups. Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money, and 15 in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the 16 of life we live. Sometimes, by 17 only on the cup, we 18 to enjoy the coffee God has provided us." God brews the coffee, not the cups... Enjoy your coffee! "The 19 people don"t have the best of everything. They just 20 the best of everything." Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God. | |||||||||||||||||||||
