My parents operated a small restaurant in Seattle. It was open twenty-four hours a day, six days a week. And my first real job，when I was six years old，wasthe diners’ shoes. My father had done it when he was young，so he taught me
to do it efficiently，telling me to
to Re-shine the shoes if the customer wasn’t
.
Working in the restaurant was a cause of greatbecause I was also working for the good of the family. But my father
that I had to meet certain standards to be part of the team. I
to be punctual，hard-working，and polite to the
.
I waspaid for the work I did at the restaurant. One day I made the mistake of advising Dad that he
give me $10 a week. He said，“OK. How about you paying me for three meals a day you have here? And
the times you bring in your friends for free soft drinks?” He
I owed him about $40 a week.
I remember returning to Seattle after beingin the US Army for about two years. I had just been promoted to Captain at that time. And full of pride，I walked into my parents’ restaurant，but the
thing Dad said was，“How about your
up tonight?” I couldn’t
my ears! I am an officer in the Army! But it didn’t
as far as Dad was concerned，I was just
member of the team. I reached for the mop. Working for Dad has taught me the devotion to a

The sun was shining when I got on No. 151 bus. We passengers sat jammed in heavy clothes. No one 36 . That’s one of the unwritten rules 37 we see the same faces every day, we prefer to 38 behind our newspapers. People who sit so close together are using them to keep 39 distance.
As the bus came near the Mile, a 40 suddenly rang out, “Attention! This is your 41 speaking.” We looked at the back of the driver’s head. “Put your 42 down, all of you.” The papers came down. “Now, turn and 43 the person next to you.”
Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an old woman. I saw her 44 every day. We waited for the next 45 from the driver. “Now repeat after me. Good morning, neighbor!”
But our voices were a little 46 . For many of us, this was the 47 word we had spoken that day. When we said them together, like 48 to people beside us, we couldn’t help 49 . There was the feeling of relief. Moreover, there was the sense of ice being 50 . To say the three words was not so 51 after all.
The bus driver said nothing more. He didn’t 52 to. Not a single newspaper went back up. I heard laughter, a 53 sound I had never heard before in this bus.
When I 54 my stop, I said goodbye to my seatmate, and then 55 the bus. That day I was starting happily.

Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a 21 part of the learning process. But all too often 22 parents and teachers we disallow this same right to our children.
When I see a child 23 from this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie.
Donnie was my youngest third-grader. His 24 of failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed. He 25 answered questions--- he was afraid he might be wrong. I tried my best to build his 26 . But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, all 27 her very much.
One morning, we were working on maths problems at the chalk-board. Donnie had 28 the problems with pains-taking tidiness. Pleased with his progress, I 29 the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in 30 . He’d missed the third problem.
My student teacher looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face 31 . From the desk we shared, she got a container filled with pencils.
“Look, Donnie,” she said, kneeling beside him and gently 32 the tear-stained(弄脏的) face from his arms. “ I’ve got something to 33 you.” She removed the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk.
“See these 34 , Donnie,” she continued. “ They belong to Mrs. Lindstorm and me. See how the erasers are 35 . That’s because we make mistakes too. But, we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you 36 learn to do, too.
She kissed him and stood up. “Here,” she said, “I’ll leave one of these pencils on 37 desk so you’ll remember that everyone makes mistakes, 38 teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile.
The 39 became Donnie’s prized possession. That, together with Mary Anne’s frequent encouragement, gradually 40 him that it’s all right to make mistakes--- as long as you erase them and try again.
