I can still remember when I met my best friend．She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to 1 me．I hid behind my motherland she hid behind her grandmother， 3 to look at each other．Soon we lost the 2 and started playing with each other．
In the 7th grade，I first lost touch with her．She was 4 family problems and I deserted her to be with the because they knew she had 5 people．None of my new friends liked her as much as I did because they knew she had 6 ．However，every summer we could always sit at each other’s house and watch soap operas，and talk about all the boys we liked．
It was last year when I noticed the problem．I guess I was too devoted in high school to 7 she needed someone there for her．Anyway，she made a new best friend and so did I．Then 1 didn’t know why，but she started cutting herself!
She then was diagnosed（诊断）with clinical depression．At first，1 was very 8 ，but we still stayed in 9 ．I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend basically 10 her and people were calling her 11 ．
Yesterday she came to me and said：“I never knew what a best friend was until you were the only person that would stop me cutting．I 12 you so much，and you didn’t even know you were 13 me．”
We both cried．And I guess a kind of 14 from my life so far is never to give up on your friends．Even if they aren’t as cool as others，or people think they are crazy，they need someone there．If you desert them，you will only be 15 yourself.

Many years ago, I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.
One very cold, wet night at about 3:30 a.m., there was a 11 on the front door of our house. A young man, wet from head to toe, explained that he had 12 out of petrol about 30 km up the road. He had left his pregnant(怀孕的) wife and his two children 13 at the car and said that he would hitchhike(搭便车) back.
Once I had filled a can with petrol, I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both 14 , saying that they were cold. Once the car had started, I suggested that he 15 me back.
Before leaving, I had turned the heater 16 in the roadhouse, so that when we went in, it was nice and 17 .While the little ones played and ran around ,I prepared bread and butter for the children, and hot chocolate for the 18 .
It was about 5 a.m. before they left .The young fellow asked me how much he 19 me and I told him that the petrol pump(加油泵) had shown $15.He offered to pay “call-out fee”, but I wouldn’t accept it.
About a month later, I received a 20 from Interstate, a large bus company that we had been trying to 21 to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time. It 22 out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager, the most 23 person in the company.
In his letter, he thanked me again and 24 me that, from then on, all their buses would stop at my service station. In this 25 , a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.

It was a bitter, cold craning in evening Virginia years ago. An old man was waiting for a ride across the river. The wait seemed endless. His body became stiff the cold wind.
He heard the faint, steady 31 of approaching hooves (马蹄) coming along the frozen path, 32 , he watched as several horsemen 33 the bend. He let the first one pass by, then another and another. Finally, the last rider neared the sport where the old man sat like a snow 34 . As this one drew near ,the old man 35 the rider’s eye and said, “Sir, would you mind giving an old man a 36 to the other side?” There appear to be passage way by foot."
Reining his horse, the rider replied, “Sure. Hop aboard.” Seeing the old man was unable to 37 his half – frowned body from the ground, the horseman dismounted and helped the old man onto the horse. The horse took the old man not just across the fiver ,but to his 38 .
As they neared the cottage, the horseman’ 39 caused him to inquire ,"Sir ,I notice that you let several other riders 40 without making an effort to secure a ride. Then I came up and you 41 asked me for a ride. I'm curious. What if I had 42 and left you there?"
The old man 43 himself slowly down from the horse, looked the rider straight in the eyes, and replied, "I’ve been around here for some time .I 44 I know people pretty good. The old – timer continued. I looked into the eyes of the other riders and immediately saw there was no 45 for my situation. It would have been 46 even to ask them for a ride. But when looked into your eyes, kindness and compassion were 47 . I knew, then and there, that your gentle spirit would welcome the opportunity to give me 48 my time of need.”
Those heartwarming comments 49 the horseman deeply.
“I'm most grateful for what you have said.” He told the old man .''May I have get too 50 in my own affairs that I fail to respond to the needs of others with kindness and compassion ."
With that Thomas Jefferson turned his around and made his way back.

There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people 36 to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you 37 is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you 38 others. Because while there will be times 39 outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely 40 . The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are 41 . Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision 42 anyway.
You were 43 with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of the time, you will make the right decision and 44 the appropriate actions, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone
against your own 45 .
Early on in my investment career, I made the mistake of 46 a few important business decisions on colleagues’ opinions instead of conducting the 47 necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to 48 on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being 49 to Wall Street, I intended to assume that my more senior 50 knew more than I did, and so I 51 too much significance to their opinions.
You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in 52 . Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by 53 and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to 54 this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to 55 and to life.

Angels
My friend Heather mentioned that she had never seen an Angel. Then I remembered the 36 I had with my sister Sandra earlier this week.
This will be Sandra’s first Christmas without her husband. This summer he died in her arms. On Thursday, she was in the store 37 for an ideal card for her two sons and daughter. Time passed by quickly as she 38 the many choices. She wanted a card that sent something special to each of them, 39 she knew they would have a(n) 40 place in their heart this holiday season.
Finally! She found the one that expressed the 41 feeling. The words expressed the feelings that she wished to share. However, a sharp pain pierced(穿透) her heart when she realized that the card was 42 “mom and dad.” She stood there, 43 it close for a long time, unable to move from the 44 . Tears began to run down her cheeks.
“Is there something I can do for you?” a 45 voice asked. She 46 to face a stranger, a woman, who was looking at her with 47 and concern. “Uh…oh...OH!” Sandra responded, “I can’t give this card to my children because…because my husband died and this is the 48 card.”
Hearing this, the stranger’s face softened with sympathy(同情) and love. She reached out and 49 my sister into her arms, giving her unspoken permission to cry in the protection of her embrace(拥抱). She 50 held my sister until her calmness 51 . “Thank you for listening to me cry on,” was what my sister said when all was better. “You are welcome, and I am so sorry for your 52 ,” the stranger answered and said goodbye to her.
During her telling of this event I was feeling 53 that I hadn’t been there. My sister needed me and a stranger had to do my 54 . “You know,” she went on, “a friend suggested that it was like meeting with an Angel.” My 55 disappeared in an instant. My sister required an Angel, and I think that is exactly what she got.
