“Are you too stupid to do anything right?” These words — said by a woman to a little boy who was obviously her son — were spoken 26 he had walked away from her. The boy returned, his eyes downcast.
Not a 27 moment, perhaps, 28 small moments last a very long time. And a few words — though they mean 29 at the time to the people who say them — can have great 30 .
I recently heard a story from a man named Malcolm Dalkoff. For the last 24 years he has been a professional 31 . Here is what he told me:
As a boy in Rock Island, Dalkoff was terribly 32 . He had few 33 and no self-confidence. One day, his English teacher, Ruth Brach, gave the class an assignment . The students had been reading To Kill a Mockingbird. Now they were to write their own chapter that would 34 the last chapter of the novel.
Dalkoff wrote his chapter and turned it 35 . Today he can not recall anything 36 about the chapter he wrote, or what 37 Mrs Brach gave him. What he does remember is the four words Mrs Brach wrote in margin(空白)of the paper: “This is 38 writing.”
Four words. They 39 his life.
“ 40 I read those words, I had no ideal of who I was or 41 I was going to be,” he said. “After reading her note, I went home and wrote a short story, something I had always been 42 of doing but never believed I could do.”
Over the rest of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to school for Mrs Brach to evaluate. She was 43 , tough and honest. “She was just what I 44 ,” Dalkoff said.
His confidence 45 . Dalkoff believed that none of this would have happened if that woman had not written those four words in the margin of the paper.

Attracting People to You

By the time the doctor arrived at the farmhouse, things had 37 to a point where the doctor asked the husband to help him by holding a gas lantern up high in order to 38 the room.
Before long, the 39 mother delivered a healthy baby boy.
