In January of 1968, I was “surfing” TV channels when I was caught by Funny Business, a show about cartoons. I had always wanted to be a(n) 36 but never knew how to go about it. I wrote to the host of the show, cartoonist Jack Cassady, asking him for advice 37 entering the profession.

A few weeks later, I got an encouraging 38 letter from Jack, 39 all of my specific questions. He went on to warn me of the possibility of being 40 at first, advising me not to get discouraged 41 that happened. He went further, saying the cartoon 42 I sent him were good and worthy of publication.

I got very 43 and submitted my best cartoons to Playboy and New Yorker. The magazines quickly rejected me with 44 little photocopied form letters. Frustrated, I decided to 45 cartooning.

In June of 1987, I was surprised to get a second letter from Jack Cassady. It 　46 as follows:

“Dear Scott, I’m dropping you this note to again encourage you to 47 your ideas to various publications. I 48 you lots of luck, sales and good drawing.”

I hadn’t 49 thanked him for his first letter! Again, I dragged out my art brushes and set to 50 the sample strips(连环漫画) now known as Dilbert. It finally became popular.

As Dilbert 51 more successful, I came to appreciate Jack’s simple act of 52 .

How can you ever 53 a kindness like that? Just reach out to some person who badly needs encouragement and 54 it on. Do it for somebody who knows you have nothing to gain. There’s no 55 thing as a small and great act of kindness.

Learning to Accept

I learned how to accept life as it is from my father. 21_,he did not teach me acceptance when he was strong and healthy,but rather when he was 22 and ill.

My father was 23 a strong man who loved being active, but a terrible illness 24 all that away.Now he can no longer walk and he must sit quietly in a chair all day. Even talking is 25 . One night, I went to visit him with my sisters. We started 26 about life,and I told them about one of my 27 . I said that we must very often give things up 28 we grow—our youth, our beauty, our friends---but it always 29 that after we give something up,we gain something new in its place. Then suddenly my father 30 up. He said, “But, Peter,I gave up 31 ! What did I gain?” I thought and thought, but I could not think of anything to say. 32 , he answered his own question: “I 33 the love of my family.” I looked at my sisters and saw tears in their eyes,along with hope and thankfulness.

I was also 34 by his words. After that, when I began to feel irritated(恼怒的)at someone, I 35 remember his words and become 36 . If he could replace his great pain with a feeling of love for others, then I should be 37 to give up my small irritations. In this 38 ,I learned the power of acceptance from my father.

Sometimes I 39 what other things I could have learned from him if I had listened more carefully when I was a boy. For now, though, I am grateful for this one 40 .

This was an unforgettable and wonderful experience. It happened about three years ago and it has had a 41 effect on me.I would like to show respect here for the two men I do not know 42 but whose actions gave a new 43 to the words — kind and generous.

　　　 A BMW car 46 on the other side of the street and a gentleman who was perfectly dressed stepped out of the car.He was probably about 47 years old.He was wearing a blue business suit with a deep red silk tie.He walked 48 across the street and over to the homeless man.Without saying anything, he first gave him a lot of 49 and then he sat down and took off his leather gloves（手套）, beautiful black leather shoes and his black dress socks.Then he 　50 them to the homeless man.The homeless man took them and stared with a/an 51 mouth.

　　　 As he drove off, I couldn’t 　52 thinking that it was probably the first time he had 53 the pedal（踏板）of that top-brand BMW car with a 　54 foot! I stood there and the looks of 　55 appeared on my face and the homeless man’s.

　　　 Two men of about the same age 56 very different lives had met and the one who was 57 in materials had offered 58 than his shoes.He had left this BMW car and 　59 down from his high position.He lifted up the other man when he offered respect, 　60 and real generosity.
