Monty Roberts, owner of a horse ranch (牧场) in San Ysidro, once told us a story．“When a young man was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to   21   and do when he grew up．In his seven-page paper he described his   22   of someday owning a horse ranch．He drew a   23   floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would   24   on a 200-acre dream ranch．Two days later he received his   25  back．On the front page was a   26   red F．The teacher said, ‘This is an   27   dream for a young boy like you．You have no money．Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.’ Then the teacher   28  , ‘If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your   29   .’ The boy asked his father what he should do．His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own   30   on this．However, I think it is a very  31   decision for you.’   32  , after a week, the boy   33   the same paper, making no   34   at all．He stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my   35  .’ Monty then turned to us and said, “I tell you this story   36   you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch．I still have that school paper framed (装框) over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the   37   is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week．When the teacher was leaving, he said, ‘Look, Monty, I can tell you this now．When I was your teacher, I was   38   of a dream stealer．During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams．  39   you had enough determination not to give up on yours.”
Don’t let anyone   40   your dreams．Follow your heart, no matter what.
