Question

On my first job, I worked as a sports editor for a small newspaper. I never got a letter from my readers, so I was 　3l that there was an envelope（信封）on my desk one morning. From the 　32 , I could see it was from a most popular newspaper.

When I opened it, I found a note and it read, “You did a good job. Go on!”

The note was 　33 by Mr. John, a famous sports editor. As I was a green hand（新手）, his words made me 　34 . After that, I kept the note in my desk drawer. Whenever I doubted
35 I had the ability to be a good editor(编辑) , I would read John’s note and become
36 again.

Later, when I made friends with Mr. John, the note writer, I learned that he often wrote notes to 　37 young people in many fields. “When I make 　38 feel happy,” he told me, “I feel happy, too.”
　 　39 , why are there few note writers like John in our life? In my 　40 , many people are afraid that they cannot be well understood. Also, writing takes more time and it is not
41 to pick up the phone. The problem with phone calls is that they cannot 　42 a long time, but a note is a good way of record and our words can be read 　43 .

So, when you find some people around you need 　44 , please write a note of encouragement to bring them more confidence. Maybe, you are not sure what will
45 , but remember Mr. John’s words—making others feel happy makes you happy, too.
