Returning from a trip overseas, I sensed that something was wrong between Keith, one of my two sons, and me. So I asked him, “Keith, have I done anything that really 41 your feelings?”
Immediately, he said, “Yes, last Christmas you promised us a special 42 that I really wanted but you 43 gave it to me.”
The 44 was that I’d completely forgotten about it. I 45 , “Is there anything else I’ve done wrong, but I haven’t apologized 46 ?”
Again, his 47 was immediate, “Remember last Christmas when Mom said you had to go to the 48 because Kate, my little sister, was going to be born? You left us at home and 49 in a hurry. Remember?”
“Well, you left and forgot the suitcase.” I couldn’t believe he 50 all the details! “After you came back from the hospital you were 51 to see the suitcase had been opened and 52 had been thrown all over the place, and then you 53 me.”
“And you didn’t do it?” I asked.
“No, I didn’t. I was just searching for my gift.”
My heart sank. I felt 54 . I hugged Keith and asked him to 55 me. His honesty made me think of my other son, Kevin. Maybe I’d hurt his feelings, too. I went to ask him the 56 question. Kevin answered as immediately as his 57 , “Last Christmas you promised us a special toy, but you forget about it.”
58 Christmas had passed, I took my two sons to the store that day and bought them what I had promised. The 59 thing wasn’t the toy. The problem was that I’d made a promise too 60 and didn’t keep it as their mother.

My brother and I were in Orlando Florida to witness our first Space Shuttle Launch（发射）. The Discovery was to soar at 10:14 AM on a blue sky September day. I’d seen it 42 so many times on television, now I was only minutes away from seeing it launch. And it’s the final demonstration of the of success: Success Takes Off Like a Rocket.
Witnessing the Take Off:
Standing close to the Space Shuttle drives home one unforgettable point — the Shuttle is the height of a 15-story building, 4.5 million pounds, and NASA is trying to lift it 200 miles the ground. On TV the accomplishments look so much , so much easier.
Crowds of people are standing around with you to watch the Shuttle go. The countdown begins through the small of hundreds of portable radios all tuned（调准） to the NASA station. It’s enough to get your heart beating out of your _ .
When time is up, the side booster rockets are lit up and the eight explosive bolts （螺栓） . The first things you see are large white clouds exploding away. Through the steam, you see the fire power. Then the Space Shuttle begins to inch off the pad and climb its way . Thousands upon millions of pounds of can hardly lift the shuttle at all. But with ever increasing ease, the shuttle __ _ and roars into the sky, headed into space at a _ of over 17,000 mph.
It is within the first two minutes to launch the Space Shuttle that the great success lesson is . Fact: 85% of the shuttle’s fuel is consumed within the first two minutes just to get the 15-story super structure to its orbital altitude.
And that’s exactly how success : The first steps you take towards launching a successful career are the and will require an enormous consumption of energy—a great big push. However, you persist through the launch period, which can seem almost for quite some time, everything gets easier and easier and your results get bigger and bigger.
