Years ago, a Southern woman was in one of my workshops. When asked to tell a story that 36 her character (品质), she described an 37 when she was 5. She was at her grandfather’s house 38 up in a beautiful white skirt and new gloves , 39 as she could be.
Her grandfather told her she could go into the 40 and get herself a cookie. Next to the cookies was a pile of coins. Sure that no one was 41 , she took one of the coins, too.
When she 42 with her cookie, her grandfather asked her to show him her 43 . She held out only her left hand 44 , and he said, “Show me the other hand.” When she unwillingly did 45 , showing the coin, she saw 46 in her grandfather’s eyes.
He paused a moment and then 47 her up, saying, “Darling, you can have anything in the world that I have, but it breaks my heart that you’d ever 48 it.” Some 50 years later, this story of how her grandfather gave her the gift of 49 still brought tears to her eyes.
Few things have as large an influence on 50 the values of a child as the strong pain of lovingly administered shame (羞愧). It helps judge right from wrong and gives a 51 emotional (感情的) dimension to moral (道德的) and character issues.
Kids, and adults for that matter, learn from their 52 . Parents, teachers and coworkers can remind them of their moral responsibilities without shaming or 53 them.
What we can’t do is just let 54 go, unless we want to send the message that’s okay. What we allow, we 55 . And we should never encourage anything other than moral excellence.

I happened to have an extra one, 39 I took it out of my pocket and put it on the desk.
Later, after the test papers had been 40 , the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed（离开）. As soon as we were 41 , she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she mentioned how 42 it was to stand on your own two feet and be 43 for your own acts.

When the day of the show came, I was so 23 that I couldn’t eat. 24 was the first time I had played in front of other people and I felt 25 unsure of myself. I had no idea whether I was 26 good and was worried that no one would like me.
When my turn came, I played my favorite tune and I even started to 27 ! I could not hear what I sounded like, but to my surprise, I eventually forgot about all the people in the audience and started to enjoy myself. When the song ended, everyone clapped and some people

My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea．As was often the case, we had to pack our belongings into boxes and 31 those we had grown to love．We would arrive at our new home and find ourselves once again 32 at the pier （码头） waving good-bye to my father as his 33 pulled him away from us．My mother would turn my brother and I around before the ship was out of 34 , wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of 35 in the new environment again．
Throughout the years of changing 36 , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood — my mother．For both my 37 and I, she was the cook, maid and teacher．She played these roles while 38 some type of part-time job．Leaving a promising career is just one of the 39 which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so． 40 she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother, 41 , managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and 42 ．
This probably sounds like a depressing way to live, 43 with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability （无能） to 44 a career or establish a home．But it was not for my mother．She turned this 45 into adventure for us all!

No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a 49 attitude．She always had strength in the face of struggle and change．My mother was so 50 all those years during my childhood — she was my island in a sea of change．She is my hero．
