When I was in the sixth grade, one day my teacher asked our class to think about the question “What does ‘doing the right thing’ mean to you?” over the weekend. We could talk to our parents or anyone else we thought might have a good answer. 1 Monday, we were to hand in an essay(论文) on it, and be prepared to live up to our 2.        
The entire weekend, I was trying to 3 something that would impress my teacher and be easy to live by. I talked to my parents, called my grandmother and asked my neighbor. Everyone had good answers, but I didn’t feel like I could live up to them.
On Sunday afternoon, my parents said they were going to my Aunt Cindy’s house. That usually4that I would have to entertain my four-year-old cousin Andrea5my parents visited. I found a Disney movie for Andrea, and then I sat down and started to write my essay. It was due(到期的)the next morning and this was my last 6.
Soon I felt a pair of eyes on me. It was Andrea.  “What are you doing?” Andrea asked. “I have to write an essay about what ‘doing the right thing’ means to me.” I answered. Andrea laughed. Could this smart four-year-old 7know the answer?  “That’s easy,” she said. “Doing the right thing means being nice to your family and friends. Never lie. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Take a bath when you’re8. And never put rocks in your mouth.”
I stared with great9at my little cousin. Then I jumped up and gave her the biggest hug. Not only had Andrea answered a very tough question for me, but I could easily live by 10 of her answers. All I had to do was to be nice, not to lie, to keep myself clean and healthy, and never put rocks in my mouth. So when I wrote my essay, I 11 the story about Andrea and how she had answered my question.
Two weeks later, my teacher returned everyone’s essays. I 12 an A+ along with a little note my teacher had written at the top: “Always do the right thing and give Andrea an A+, too!”

You can reach almost any goal if you want to—but sometimes it takes great efforts to realize  your dream.
That was quite true for me.When I was 17 years old,I broke my father’s1.He had  saved enough from an average income to send me to college to become a lawyer.Three months later I was home telling him that I had left college — and for the first time I saw him 2.
“Son,I’m always going to love you even though you’ll never achieve anything,’’he said with  tears(眼泪)in his eyes.
When I walked out of that room,I was burning with something within my body.Not  everyone has the chance to feel it.I did not just want to3 — I had to.
But I couldn't see how to do it and all the time my father’s words were in my mind. I become a salesperson.It was not4 because I knew almost nothing about marketing.
Then a man introduced me to the Edwards training course.I went and learned a lot of useful5.I tried my best to put them to work.Soon after that,I started tasting the sweet fruits of Success for the first time.
Some time later,I told the manager of my company that I would like to meet with Mr.Edwards.They arranged it for me.When the day came,I told him,“Mr. Edwards,my goal is to be able to train people just as you trained me.’’6,he agreed to let me try.
All that came true because I set goals to make it happen.Sticking to the goal was the most important.
