My mom taught me that life,like dinner,doesn't require a recipe. 39 she cooked the most complicated meals,she 40 cooked from a recipe. It was like a kind of free-form jazz, and she taught me to improvise (即兴发挥), and to add ingredients according to 41 .It's no wonder that my media business has grown so amazingly; I'm not 42 anyone else's recipe.
When I was in the ninth grade,my mom decided she wanted something 43 being a mother and a wife. She wanted to start her own 44 .But in order to accomplish this,she had no 45 but to get a loan. It all happened in 46 motion. The bank manager 47 my father call him,but my mom said stubbornly,"Why? It's my loan." "Well,I can't give you a loan unless he co-signs," replied the manager. But my mom didn't 48 hope,and responded sincerely,"I see. Then can you do me a favor,if he does? I' d 49 it if you'd put together the paperwork quickly. I need a shop in order to support my family."
Moved by her 50 ,the manager agreed to do as she asked. So 51 was I that I included that day into my DNA.
Through her influence,I've become someone who 52 what she wants until she gets it. If something or someone is in my way,I 53 how to overcome the difficulties. It's really that 54 . It's not about getting angry. It's about getting what you want,being very, competitive,but also extremely 55 . I learned this in the ninth grade from my mom, and it burned itself into my brain.

宽容是人世间最好的良药。对于一些无可挽回的悲剧或过失,过多的指责没有任何意义,因为悲剧或过失是任何人都不希望发生的。这时惟有以一种宽容的心态来对待身边的人或事,看待得与失。
