Our tolerating ability is indeed beyond our imagination. But not until the very critical moment will we realize our tolerating ability.
There was a woman in the countryside who had to with her children wherever she could at the age of 26 due to the Japanese army’s . Many people could not bear the and wanted to commit suicide. After she knew about it, she would come to those people and them by saying, “Don’t do that silly thing. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome. The Japanese armies are sure to be one day!”
Finally she insisted until the day when all the Japanese armies were kicked out of China. However, her son died of disease without medicine and nutrition in those days of hardships. Her husband lay in bed for two days without eating and drinking . She teared to her husband and said, “We have a tough , but however tough our lives will be, we should never . Though our son has passed away, we can have another. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome.”
After giving birth to the second son, her husband died of edema(水肿), which blew her away. But eventually, she and hugged the three young children, saying, “My sweet hearts, don’t feel scared. You still have me, your dear mum!”
It took her painstaking efforts to raise her children up and the life of her family was getting . She was aging and could not do the farm work any more. she stayed at home and did some housework. Nevertheless, the Heaven to show no affection to her who had undergone a rough life. She lived until 86. Before she went to Heaven, she said to her children, “You all should live your best. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome!”
We will get to realize our own iron will and strong tolerating after getting stricken heavily. Therefore, no matter what you are suffering from now, do not merely complain about the of our destiny.

One winter term during college, I took a history class to fulfill a requirement.
The professor was a 1 fellow with red hair. He would walk shyly into the room wearing his hooded (带帽的) winter coat, once not even 2 the hood during the lecture. He was terribly nervous in class and lowered his head 3 looking up through his glasses at his students.
So I 4 a little game for myself. I would try to find something in his lecture to ask him an intelligent question about, 5 me to pay attention rather than letting my eyes close. He was obviously 6 to have a question to answer. In fact, his answers were always interesting.
I continued to do this every day of the course and found myself actually enjoying the subject. The professor seemed to become a bit more 7 and some of the other students even 8 from time to time. My little game had saved me from being bored, as it was 9 to do. And, I learned quite a bit about ancient world history. Except for all of his strange __10 , he was indeed quite an expert in his field.
On the last day of his class, we gathered our 11 and headed out the door. The shy, red-haired professor 12 directly in front of me, with obvious efforts, as I reached the door, and put out his hand. He said, “I want to thank you for making this class so interesting.” As he shook my hand and 13 for the first time, I was so surprised. To me, it had been a pleasant way to 14 the time. I had no idea that all of my question asking had any 15 on him or the others at all.
Each of us, through the things we say and do, can have a great effect not just on our own experiences, but those of others.
