by who life take that serious or one they send happy influence

I once had an unforgettable experience that has affected and directed the way I think and act now．

When I was about seven years old，my grandfather（71）　　 me to a fish pond on a farm and told me to throw a stone into the water．He told me to watch the circles created （72）　　 the stone．Then he asked to think of myself at that stone．"You may create lots of circles in your life，but the waves （73）　　 come from those circles will disturb（干扰） the peace of all the people around you，"he said （74）　　．"Remember that your circle may spread to many other circles，meaning that your thoughts or actions may disturb others'（75）　　．You are responsible for what put in your circle．If you　want，the good or peace that comes from your circle （76）　　 to others．At the same time，the anger or jealousy （嫉妒）　coming from your circle will also spread to other circles．You should allow the good feelings （77）　 others，not the bad　ones，because you are responsible for both．"

That was the （78）　　 time I heard my grandfather tell me these．I had realized that each person's （79）　　 or　anger can move out into the world．If we are filled with doubt or anger，we cannot create world peace．We spread the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside，whether we speak （80）　　 or not．These circles are spreading into the world，creating beauty or making troubles to other circles of life．

Drawing might help you think

    Two years ago， an author named Sunni Brown （5）　　（write）a book on doodling． She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think． She admits that people see doodling as doing nothing， but she wants to change that． In fact， she runs a business that helps companies improve organization and planning through doodling． Brown （6）　　（believe）doodling is helpful because it incorporates （整合） many ways of learning． You learn in four ways： seeing， hearing， reading or writing， and through movement． The more ways you use， the better you learn． And when you doodle while you （7）　　（listen）to a lecture， you use all four．

    You might think that being good at （8）　　（draw）is important for doodling． But if the point of doodling is to help you think， then it doesn't matter what the picture looks like． Even if you're not an artist， doodling can help you． So next time you need help focusing， pick up a pen and doodle away!
