My father woke me up one morning when I was 14, announced,         66.      
“Get up.You are going with me to cut grass.” I felt proudly and       67.            
excited because my father thought he was responsible enough            68.            
to help him in his business.Still, that first day is very hard.         69.            
Towards the evening, my father found some leaves I had               70.            
missed cutting and pulled me aside.“Cut that section again or         71.            
don’t make me tell you do it again.” The message was clear.          72.            
Today I stress the important of doing a job right the first time.        73.            
In every job I have held, I have learned something that helps me on          74.            
my next job.If you work hard, you can learn from any job you do.         75.            

In 1982, Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank.He got into a life boat, but his supplies were   21 .His chances of surviving were small.  22   when three fishermen found him 76 days later, he was alive —much   23   than he was when he started, but alive.

His   24   of how he survived is fascinating.His cleverness —how he   25   to catch fish, how he evaporated(蒸发) sea water to   26   fresh water—is very interesting.

But the thing that   27   my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost, and there seemed no   28   in continuing the struggle.He was starved and 29   worn-out.Giving up would have seemed the only possible choice.

When people   30   these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going.Many people in   31   desperate circumstances 32    in or go mad.Something the survivors do with their thoughts helps them find the courage to carry on   33   difficulties.

"I tell myself I can   34   it," wrote Callahan in his book.-Compared to what others have been through, I'm fortunate.I tell myself these things over and over,   35   up courage..."

I wrote that down after 1 read it.It   36   me as something important.And I've told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed   37   off or when my problems seemed too terrible.And every time I've said it, I have always come back to my   38  

The truth is,our circumstances are only bad    39    to something better.But others have been though the much worse,that is,in comparison with what others have been through,you’re fortunate.Tell this to yourself over sad over again,and it will help you   40   though the rough situations with a little more courage.

I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.

   I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.

   The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."

   My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.

    From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.

Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel(纪录片) as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.

“Jack, did you hear me?”

“Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It’s been so long since I thought of him. I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said.

Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce (回忆) about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it,” Mom told him.

“I loved that old house he lived in,” Jack said.

“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man’s influence in your life,” she said.

“He’s the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldn’t be in this business if it weren’t for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important… Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral,” Jack said.

Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser’s funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.

The night before they had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture… Jack stopped suddenly.

“What’s wrong, Jack?” his Mom asked.

“The box is gone,” he said.

“What box?” Mom asked.

“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he’d ever tell me was ‘the thing I value most’,” Jack said.

It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.

“Now, I’ll never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said sadly.

Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. The return address caught his attention.

“Mr. Harold Belser” it read.

Jack tore open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack’s hands shook as he read the note inside.

“Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It’s the thing I valued most in my life.” A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, and tears filling his eyes, Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it.

Inside he found these words carved: “Jack, Thanks for your time! Harold Belser.”

“Oh, My God! This is the thing he valued most…”

Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days. “Why?” his assistant asked.

“I need some time to spend with my son,” he said.
