When Winsion Chruchill was a young man, his father concluded that Churchill was “unfit for a career in law or politics” because he did so badly in school.
When Charles Darwin was getting ready to 36 on his five-year expedition on The Beagle, his father was extremely 37 . he thought his son was falling into a life of sin and idleness.
Gorge Washington’s mother was a complaining, 38 woman by all accounts. She thought little of Washington’s achievements and didn’t 39 at either of his presidential inaugurations（就职典礼）. She was always 40 that her children overlooked her and she was especially angry when her son George ran off to 41 the army for the American Revolution. She 42 believed it was his duty to stay home and take care of her.
In his youth, the 43 Leonard Bernstein, one of the most talented and successful composers in American history, was continually pressured by his father to 44 his music and do something worthwhile, like help out in his family’s beauty-supply business. After Leonard became 45 , his father was asked about that, and he answered, “Well, how was I supposed to know he was the Leonard Bernstein?”
People may criticize you or make fun of your ideas or actively try to 46 you. Often their efforts are only attempts to protect you from 47 . But obviously failure is only a possibility if you stop. If you keep 48 , a “failure” is just another learning 49 . Besides, giving up on a heartfelt goal is worse than failing. “Many people die”, said Wendell Holmes, “with their 50 still in them.” That’s true tragedy.
So listen 51 to the worries and criticisms of your friends and family, and do your best to put their minds 52 , but then carry on. Listen last to your own heart. You 53 yourself better than anyone on earth. Make sure your song is 54 .
Listen to your own heart. Don’t let your music 55 with you.

（1） My father was an ill-humored man．I knew he loved me and his love was deep．He just didn’t know how to 36 it.

I waited for the 41 refusal．But instead, he considered thoughtfully and then said, “Let’s hit the floor and I’ll 42 you just what kind of moves an old guy like me can still make.”

When the dance ended I excused myself to the ladies’ room and during my absence 51 changed．
When I came back, Dad sat in his chair 52 his body leaning forward, very pale．Everything was really too late．He was 53 ．

My grandmother became a widow in 1970. Shortly after that, we went to the 39 shelter to pick out a dog to keep her 40 . Grandma decided on a little dog with a reddish-brown spot above each eye. 41 these spots, the dog was named Penny.
Grandma and Penny quickly became very 42 to each other, but that attachment grew much stronger about three years later 43 Grandma had a stroke（中风）. Grandma could no longer
44 , so when she came home from the hospital, she and Penny were 45 companions.
After her stroke, it became a real 46 for Grandma to let Penny in and out because 47 was at the bottom of a flight of stairs. So a mechanism（机械装置）using a rope and pulley（滑轮）was 48 from the door to a handle at the top of the stairs. Grandma just had to pull the handle to open and close the door. If the store was 49 Penny’s favorite dog food, Grandma would make one of us 50 Penny browned beef with potatoes in it. I can remember 51 my grandmother by saying that she loved that dog better than she loved her family.
As the years passed, it was not 52 for Grandma and Penny to separate each other. If Grandma went to take her nap（打盹）, Penny stayed by her side until she 53 . As Penny aged, she could no longer jump up on the bed, so she 54 on the rug （垫子）beside the bed. If Grandma went into the 55 , Penny would walk along beside her, wait outside the door and accompany her 56 to the bed or chair. Grandma never went anywhere without her 57 companion by her side.
The time came when both my grandmother’s and Penny’s 58 were failing fast. After fifteen years of loving companionship, Grandma and Penny passed away within a few hours of each other.

I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman. It was hard to make a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out 36 he caught enough to feed the family. No just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad. When the weather was bad he would 37 me to school. He had this old truck that he used in his fishing 38 .

Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to 41 with you.
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the high way at 85 mph 42 we realized we were 43 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand new $ 20 bill. I was so 44 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 45 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line.
46 , I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I 47 I had not actually handed my money to the cashier. I had just 48 out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience(良心) opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn’t 49 over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and 50 for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I
51 to forgive myself the pleasure of an ice cream for 52 that someone would say, “Hey, Jeff, why don’t you use the change 53 the pizza instead of that nice, new $ 20 bill?” I was not so 54 of my cash now.
For the next two years, whenever I was 55 of the “pizza incident,” I would say to myself, “Don’t think about it.”
I have learned two things from this 56 . Maybe I was a fool for 57 in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a 58 pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will 59 up with you.
This reflects the saying, “A coward (懦夫) dies a thousand times, a hero dies once.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that accident at least a thousand times. If I had been a 60 and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.

David grew up poor. He started 26 in the 7th grade and by high school he was only going to school half days, leaving at 11 am to go to work.
Lack of money meant lack of 27 opportunities, but he had a 28 for knowledge. In his 29 time he read books on human development, vocabulary builders, 30 that he thought would help him succeed 31 down the road.
He was a hard worker and rose above his lack of higher education to produce decently for his family, 32 the factory life was taking it toll (造成伤害) on him 33 , emotionally, and spiritually. It was, in his mind, 34 him like a slow poison.
In 1995 he bought his first computer and a few months later discovered the Internet.

It was 4 o’clock in the morning on June 9, 2003 when I received the phone call. “This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 21 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We have called for a(n) 22 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 23 .
The doctor described the 24 , which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they 25 the charcoal(木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much petrol. The flames 26 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.
27 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and 28 him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 29 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars.
After he 30 from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容) for 6 months 31 it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling. So he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 32 scar on her arm, “Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not 33 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 34 this wisdom on to my son. He kept my advice in 35 and returned to school with his head held high--glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars didn’t 36 , so he made the 37 to give up any plastic surgery.
We all have “scars” that we believe 38 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 39 standards. Put your imperfections(缺点；瑕疵) out of your mind and concentrate on what you value 40 yourself, and your beauty will shine through.

This morning I awoke from a wonderful night’s sleep. One of those completely satisfying sleep—difficult to explain, but if you’ve ever had one you’ll know what I’m 36 about.
No amount of 37 could buy a better night’s sleep. I truly 38 my blessed rest. It was like a gift from heaven. Interesting to think that Bill Gates or any 39 billionaire you can 40 really couldn’t have had a more satisfying, fulfilling night of sleep.
That started me thinking of other 41 that cost nothing or very little．Like a drink of cold water on a 42 day．Or a warm relaxing 43 when you’re tired．
What could be better than 44 to your favorite music or watching good movies? These are 45 delights—small pleasures．I hope this doesn’t 46 too silly in today’s rough，loud world．I wonder if the new generation can appreciate some such things．
We’re told we 47 the latest model car, or TV or computer to be happy，but it’s all a trick, a marketing move．No sooner do we get these things, 48 we’re looking to replace them 49 a newer car, or TV or computer．
This is not to say that money isn't important. Money can help 50 , clothes and house those in need．Money is neither all good nor all bad—it’s just a 51 of life that can be used for good things or abused(滥用).
I suppose having 52 money worries can give a certain peace of mind that 53 a person to have a good night’s rest. But no amount of money can 54 buy that wonderful, particularly restful night’s sleep that I 55 last night.
