One day, Jackie and Tony decided to visit one of their old friends Michael. Michael had dedicated(奉献) his life to praying(祈祷) and _______ others. Now, he was getting old and sick. _______ Jackie and Tony reached, they asked Michael about his life. Jackie asked, “Michael, can you _______ us what you have learned over the years?”

“Yes. Time and tide(岁月) wait for no man,” replied Michael. “So, we should never _______ time. We should do something meaningful.”

Tony said, “You’ve been praying to God for long. What do you pray for?”

Michael smiled and replied, “In the beginning when I was young, I prayed to God to give me the strength to change the world. But _______, I realized that I could never make it. Then, I started to pray to God to give me the strength to change people around me.”

“Your _______ has come true as we know that you’ve helped a lot of people,” said Jackie.

Michael shook his head and said, “Well, I’ve helped many, but I’ve _______ changed them. In fact, it’s _______ for me to change others. You know what? One can change, but only if he or she wants to. Now at this age, I finally _______ what I should have been praying for from the start.”

“What is it?” asked Jackie and Tony in surprise.

“The ability to ________ myself,” replied Michael with a smile.
