I live in a rural area but sometimes we go to the city to go shopping．One day, my daughter and I 1 we needed a day of it．We 2 made the most of it．Like anyone that likes going shopping, we of course had a 3 day．
After we bought all that we needed, it was time to go．On the way to the exit doors, there was a lady 4 the pay phone who wasn’t able to speak English very well．She 5 getting help from people but kept getting 6 all the time．Seeing the 7 in her face, I stopped to see if I could help her．I didn’t really 8 much of what she was saying but I finally got the idea 9 she wanted a 10 ．She gave me the coins and I called one of the taxi companies．I 11 that the lady didn’t talk much English but 12 a taxi．They replied they would 13 one out right now．I tried my best to tell that to the lady．Soon she 14 happily．Obviously, she was very 15 to me．
When my kids were 16 , I would do an act of kindness and after we were away from the 17 , I would explain what I did and 18 ．I wasn’t trying to 19 but just trying to teach them about acts of 20 ．They learned that it was OK to help others and have gone on to do the same．
About one year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to me．I never heard any noise from the children．Inslead, I often heard the parents yelling l at the kids, not in a nice tone, but in a 2 one．
We often 3 in the hallway．I always greeted them, but the only 4 I ever got was a”hello”from the eight-year-old girl．I usually 5 to see my doctor and one day when I returned they were just 6 their apartment and the little girl was 7 the outside door open for the others．I 8 in the car doing 9 things because 1 wasn’t eager to he snubbed(冷落)again．Finally, I got out of my car and walked towards the door．The parents were telling their daughter to hurry and get into the car, 10 the little girl was still holding the door, 11 me！I hurried althought I was still in pain from my injury．
I forgot to tell her how 12 I was for her kindness．I wrote a note saying how much her act of kindness had 13 an oId man’s heart．
The next day there was a 14 on my door and it was the little girl and her father．She was quite 15 of her behavior and thanked me．Then I noticed her mother standing there too．Her parents 16 me．
From then on when we met in the hallway we always greeted each other, in a friendly 17 ．
Last night there was a heavy snow．I looked out at my ear and 18 how I was goingto keep my doctor’s． 19 because I could only walk for a short time．This morning when I opened the front door, all the snow was removed．
Isn’t it 20 that the small kind act of an 8-year-old girl can changes so many things for the better？It is said that good things come from small acts．

Recently, I began seeking my dream of motivating others． 6 a four-year relationship with Fortune 100 company 7 as a sales-trainer and ending as a regional sales manager, I left the company at the height of my 8 ．Many people were 9 that I would leave after earning a six-figure income．And they asked 10 I would risk everything for a dream．I made my 11 to start my own company and leave my secure position after 12 a regional sales meeting．The vice-president of our company delivered a 13 that changed my life He asked us, “If a god would offer you three wishes, what would they be?” After giving us a 14 to write down the three wishes, he then asked us, “Why do you need a 15 ?” I would never forget the power I felt at that moment．I realize that 16 I had accomplished in the past had prepared me for this moment．I was ready and didn’t need a god’s help to be a motivational speaker．A motivational speaker was 17 ．
Having made that decision, I was immediately 18 ．One week after I gave notice, my husband was laid off from his job，and now we had no 19 ．But I held fast to my dream．The wonder really began to happen．In a short time my husband found a better job．And I was able to book several 20 engagements(业务)with new customers．I discovered the incredible power of dreams．
