Harold had worked in an electrical company for over 40 years. He was ready to 36 soon. His wife Martha, 37 , was less enthusiastic. As she explained to a friend, “Harold has never done anything that 38 physical effort. He never played golf, mowed the lawn (修整草坪) or even washed the windows. 39 he retires, he will sit in his easy chair and 40 me to bring him his food.”
But to Martha’s 41 , soon after he retired Harold joined a health club. And one night, when he arrived home from exercise class, he announced, “I 42 for the wrestling tournament (联赛). I am going to 43 on Friday night.”
Martha was shocked. “Please don’t do it. Harold,” she begged. “ You’re not in 44 . You will be so beaten up that they will have to 45 you home!” However, he couldn’t be 46 and she told him that if he went through with his “lame idea”, she was not going to 47 .
She stayed away that Friday evening as Harold wrestled. Then about 10:00 p.m., just as she predicted, two men 48 carried Harold home. He lay down on the couch, aches and pains. Before she could speak, he 49 , “Don’t say a word, Martha! This is not the worst of it. I 50 tonight. I have to wrestle again tomorrow night!”
Harold worked hard for his 51 , but he may not have been ready to succeed! He proved, however, that when you combine 52 with the belief that you can do a certain thing, very great results will often follow.
In fact, I believe Harold may have even 53 himself. As Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “People become really quite 54 when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first 55 of success.”

It was 4 o’clock in the morning, when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 1 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We’ve called for a (n) 2 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.”
Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 3 .
The doctor described the accident, which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers. When they 4 the charcoal (木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed (喷洒) too much gasoline (petrol). The flames 5 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to his head.
6 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and rolled him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 7 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars (伤疤). So, he had to return to college with scars.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 8 scar on her arm. “Ann, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It doesn’t mean they won’t 9 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 10 this wisdom (智慧) on to my son. He took my advice to 11 and returned to school with his head held high — glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter, so he made the 12 to give up any plastic surgery (外科手术).
We all have “scars” that 13 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 14 standards(标准). Put your imperfections out of your 15 and concentrate (集中) on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
