In 1982, I was a young marketing person in a company in Mumbai. I had a very senior colleague named Paul, who taught me how to  36   marketing effectively and how to deal with life  37 .
It was one of those  38   days…management, sales calls, planning my travel schedule, booking hotels, arranging appointments and the   39   was endless. By the end of the day, I was not only exhausted but was getting  40 . It was at this time that Paul invited me to his house to have a rest.
We made our way to Paul’s house. Although  41   after a day’s hard work, I was excited to chat with Paul and  42 his rich experience in marketing. As we entered his house  43 the main door, Paul started singing his favourite song, I have a dream. I was in no  44 to listen to his song. I only wanted to hear about how he handled  45   sales calls.
As I leaned over Paul’s shoulder to tell him that, two young girls walked up to Paul and hugged him. They couldn’t walk steadily, and neither could they talk  　46 　 , but their faces were full of  47   and they also sang a song: No mummy’s kisses only daddy’s smiles; nobody wants us, and daddy hugs us tonight.
I was watching what was going on, totally  48   in the beautiful singing, when Paul tapped me on the shoulder and asked me to sit down.  49 to know, I asked Paul who these girls were. To my  50 , Paul told me they were his daughters and they were born as “ 51　 children” (mentally disabled). His wife died and he was both Mother and Father to them.
I was moved to tears. In the office, no one knew what Paul was   52  in his personal life. He never looked for   53 from his friends and colleagues. On the contrary, he always helped us at the office. And being head of the Department, he always  54 us to move forward in life.
Paul’s life has been a great  55   to me. If a man can smile through these troubles, nothing can prevent him from achieving success in work or life.

I believe in miracles（奇迹）because I‘ve seen so many of them.One day, a patient was referred to me who was one hundred and two years old.“There’s a   36   in my upper jaw ,”she said.“I told my own dentist it’s nothing,but he   37   I come to see you”
Her eight-year-old son accompanied her.He would   38   to add something .but she stopped him.She wanted to tell everything herself.I found a large cancer that spread over much of the 39 of her mouth.A careful examination later   40  that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.
During her next appointment，I explained to her the   41   of the problem.She clasped my hand in hers and said,“I know you’re worried about me,but I’m just   42   .”
I thought otherwise.After considerable   43   on my part,and kindness on her part because she wanted to   44   me ,she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon.She saw him,but as I expected, 45 treatment.
About six months later she returned to my office,still energetic and   46 .
“How are you?”I asked.
“I’m just fine ,honey，”she responded   47   high spirits.“When can I get stared on fixing my dentures（假牙）?”
Surprised to see her at all,Ianswered   48 ,“Let me take a look at your mouth and we’ll see about it.”
I couldn’t believe my eyes.The cancer that had 49 nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone-only one small area of redness 50 .
I had read of such things happening.but had 51 seen them with my own eyes.That was my first miracle.Since then I’ve seen many others,because they keep getting 52 to see.In fact,miracles are daily events for me now.And people are miracles, 53 through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to 54 the miracles of one another.
Since my first miracle,I’ve come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is 55 we choose to find it.
