John, a famous musician, took his priceless zither (齐特琴) and played it in the crowded subway station. The music from the zither was delicately streaming __1__ the whole station. However, during the one-hour play only six or seven people truly __2__ the charming music. A three-year-old kid was so __3__ by the music that he forgot everything around. John only got 52 U.S. dollars for his work that day.
__4__, in normal days, when John is about to hold a concert, the ticket can be sold for more than 100 dollars and it is extremely __5__ to buy a ticket even at such a high price. Therefore, later, many __6__ in the station that day felt deeply regretful for not __7__ the famous musician and missing such a valuable but __8__ music feast.
I have a very busy friend who totally __9__ after knowing that his wife came down with a deadly illness. He cooked by himself for the family and took a walk with his wife every day.

Actually, I also missed something __13__ before. The __14__ we missed those things is simple: we had thought that we could still own them __15__.
Yet tomorrow is actually by no means __16__. There was a famous Buddhist monk saying that in many people’s __17__, they had only done two things: waiting and regretting. The result is that they were always too late to __18__ what they had. We would often claim to do something when we grow up, or when we have money or when we become old, etc. However, when we reach the __19__ we have expected, we could no longer __20__ our wish, because we have lost it by then.

Steve Jobs on life and death
When I was 17, I read a quote （引述） that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, some day you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an 1 on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every 2 and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the 3 has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to 4 something.
Remembering that I’ll be 5 soon is the most important tool I’ve ever used to help me make the big 6 in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all 7 of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is 8 important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to 9 . You are already naked. There is no reason not to 10 your heart.
Your time is limited, so don’t 11 it living someone else’s life. Don’t be 12 by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the 13 to follow your beliefs and goals. They somehow already know what you really want to 14 . Everything else is 15 .

Thomas Edison tried two thousand different materials to make the light bulb. When none worked successfully, his assistant __16_, “All our work is in vain. We have learned nothing.”
Thomas Edison replied very __17_, “Oh, we have come a long way and we have _18__ a lot. We now know that there are two thousand materials which we cannot _19__ to make a good light bulb.”

Before my recent graduation, the last project of the term was called “Smile”. The class was asked to go out and 36 at three people and record their 37 .
Soon after we were given the 38 , my husband and I went out to McDonald’s one cold morning. We were standing in 39 , waiting to be 40 , when suddenly everyone around us began to back away. A feeling of 41 rose up inside of me as I wondered what happened.
As I 42 around I smelled a horrible dirty smell. Behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked at the short man close to me, he was smiling and his blue eyes searched for 43 .
He said “Good day” as he 44 the few coins. The waitress asked him what they wanted. He said, “Coffee is all, Miss.” That was all they could 45 .
I 46 felt the urge and actually hugged him. That was 47 I noticed all the eyes in the restaurant were set on 48 . I smiled and asked the waitress for two more breakfast meals on 49 trays(托盘). I then walked to the table that the men had 50 as a resting spot. I put the trays on the table and laid my 51 on the short man’s cold hand. He said “Thank you” with tears in his eyes.
I 52 this story as my project. My instructor read it and said, “Can I 53 this with your classmates?” I nodded. At that moment I found something more 54 than a simple smile. I graduated with one of the most important 55 I would ever learn, unconditional acceptance.

During the years when I was a teacher, I learned a lot of things. Perhaps the most important one was the life-changing 16 of encouraging words.
I 17 what Leo Buscaglia had done with his students in University of Southern California. In one class Leo Buscaglia and his students had made two lists of 18 , one positive and one negative. Then they 19 the negative words in the trash and tried to use only the 20 words for one month. They were 21 at how much better their lives became just by using words full of 22 .
I decided to try this as well by 23 something good to write on each paper my students 24 . No matter how many mistakes a student’s paper 25 , there was always a 26 sentence, beautiful thought, or a great idea that I could 27 on. I remember glancing over my desk and 28 some of the students reading those encouraging words 29 . It was a joy seeing their eyes shine a little brighter, their 30 sit up a little straighter, and their learning climb a lot 31 .
I recently saw one of my 32 students and we talked for a while. He has got married, and has two children now. As I was saying goodbye, he said, “You know I 33 have a few of those old papers. I look at them from time to time. I just 34 my kids have a good teacher like you.” I was amazed at the 35 those few positive words had on his life.
May your own life be forever full of encouraging words in your ears, from your lips and in your heart.
