Mother was right,   18 I discovered after   19 from college in 1932. I had decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way   20 sports announcer. I hitchhiked（搭便车） to Chicago and knocked on the door of   21 station—and got   22 every time. In one   23 , a kind lady told me that big stations couldn’t   24 hiring inexperienced persons. “Go out in the sticks and find a small station that’ll give you a   25 .” she said.
I thumbed home to Dixon, Illinois. While there was no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local   26 to manage its sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football, I   27 . The job sounded just right for me.   28 I wasn’t hired.
My disappointment must have shown. “Everything happens for the best,” Mom   29 me. Dad   30 me the car to job-hunt. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur, told me they had   31 hired an announcer.

Do you know anything about football?” Then he stood next to me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an   34 game.
On my way home, as I have many times since, I thought of my mother’s words: “if you carry on, one day something good will happen.

I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession   36  in the way of being a good parent．
I no longer consider myself the   37   of the universe．I show up．I listen．I try to laugh．I
am a good friend to my   38  ．I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约)   39   what they
say．I am a good friend to my friends，and they   40   me．Without them，there would be nothing to say to you today．
So here’s what I wanted to tell you today：Get a   41  ．A real life，not a desire of the next   42  ，the bigger paycheck，the larger house．
Get a life in which you are not   43  ．Find people you love，and who love you．And remember that love is not   44  ，it is work．   45    the phone．Send an e-mail．Write a letter．And realize that life is the best thing and   46  yon have no business taking it for granted.

I learned to love the   51  ，not the destination．I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it．completely and totally．And I tried to do that．in part，by telling others what I had learned．
By telling them   52  ：Read in the backyard with the sun on your face．Learn to be happy-
And think of life as a deadly   53  ，because if you do   54  it ought to be lived，you will live it with joy and   55  ．

Alice, my friend’s daughter, goes to an expensive private school where she has a friend, Jane, who is on a full scholarship at this school. Jane has   36  economic resources—her father has been dead for years and her mother works   37   a maid. Although her mother works very hard, she can   38  support the family. Jane is very bright and gifted at   39  and that’s how she has got the scholarship, which included a(n)   40   for things like lunch, school uniform and music lessons.
Alice became friends with Jane and would   41  talk to her at lunch. She did it that way in order to avoid the other kids   42   her.
On her birthday last month, she   43  her new friend to her birthday party, but Jane said she couldn’t come. Alice wanted her to be   44   so much that she   45  on her coming. Eventually, the girl said, “I don’t have any   46  clothes that I could wear at your birthday party.” After a brief pause, the girl remembered, “I have a   47   from my piano performance,” and asked, “Could I   48  a skirt from you?”
Alice was happy that her friend would be   49  to come and hurried home to ask her Mum   50   she could lend her friend one of her skirts. To her surprise, her Mum said, “No.” The daughter was very   51  and angrily said to her Mum, “ 52  I could, I would give my friend all my clothes.” The Mother didn’t understand why her daughter should have had such an outburst as she’s normally very well   53 .
Finally, Alice explained to her Mother her friend’s   54 .  Her Mother immediately changed her mind and said, “Yes.” She also encouraged her daughter not to feel like she should secretly be friends with Jane but to feel proud of her   55   with her.
So the true friendship seeks to give, not to take; to help, not to be helped; to minister, not to be ministered unto.
