I was .Why were you doing what I do—memorizing textbooks and studying for ? When you said you were in law school, I was more puzzled. I didn’t know Moms be lawyers too. You smiled and said,“In life, you can do anything you want to do.”
Though I was young, your words kept in my ears. I watched as you faced the of completing your studies, starting companies with Dad, while still being a and a Mom of five kids. I was tired just watching you . With your wise words in my mind, I suddenly felt free to dream. My whole world . I set out to live my life filled with , seeing endless possibilities for personal achievements.
Your words became my motto. I found myself in the position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary) one of the few women (top medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength every time I said , “Yes, I’ll try that.”
Encouraged by your , I have forged ahead (毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m it. Sorry, got to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.

One can never fully today while thinking too much about past successes, either. People never while resting comfortably on their laurels (荣誉). The is that sometimes our successes hold us back more than our failures!
I once a story about the Oscar owner, actor Clark Gable. A friend Gable one afternoon at the actor's home. She brought along her son, who was playing happily with toy cars on the floor. He he was racing those cars around a great track, which in was an imaginary circle around a golden statue. The small statue the boy played with was actually the Oscar Clark Gable for his performance in the 1934 movie It Happened One Night.
When his mother told him the time had come to , the little boy asked the actor, “Can I have this？” to the Oscar.
“Sure,” he smiled. “It's yours.”
The horrified mother . “Put that back immediately！”
Giving the child the golden statue, Clark Gable said, “Having the Oscar around doesn't mean anything to me; it does.” The actor seemed to know that past success could be a hammock (吊床) upon which he may be tempted to , rather than a springboard setting him to begin a new start.
You may have learned to let go of past and mistakes in order to free the present. But will you forget past successes and achievements in order to free the ？Will your past be a springboard or a restful hammock?

Charles Plumb, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, was a jet fighter pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb was and spent six years in prison in Vietnam. He survived and now about lessons learned from that experience.
One day, Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant when a man at another table came up and said, "You're Plumb! You jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier (航空母舰) Kitty Hawk . You were !"
"How in the world did you know that?" asked Plumb.
"I your parachute," the man replied. Plumb gasped（倒吸一口气） in surprise and .The man pumped his hand and said, "I guess it worked!"
Plumb assured him, "It did—if your chute hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today."
Plumb couldn't sleep that night，thinking about that man. He says, "I wondered how many times I might have passed him the Kitty Hawk. I wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you', or anything , you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a ."
Plumb thought of the many days the sailor had spent on a long wooden table in the bowels（深处）of the ship working on each chute, holding in his hands each time the of someone he didn't know.
Plumb asks his , "Who's packing your ? Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it the day." Plumb also says that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down—he needed his parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute. He called on all these before reaching safety. His experience reminds us all to and be kind to people who pack our daily parachutes, and strengthen us to go through times.
