Three years ago, I had a job in a retail store (零售店). I 21 to talk to everybody and know what was going on in their 22 . I remember a girl who started 23 there a few months after me. We seldom talked but we always 24 each other and smiled.
She always smiled in a really happy way 25 one day when we got to work in the 26 department. She smiled as if she was the 27 girl in the world. I went up to her and asked, “What’s wrong with you?” She answered, “Why?” I said, “I could feel you’re very 28 , but you’re always trying to 29 it.”
Her mouth just dropped as if I had 30 her deepest secret, so we started talking. She told me 31 she was feeling unhappy and why she was trying to 32 that nothing was wrong. Time went by and we became good friends. She’d always tell me I had 33 her life in so many ways.
Today that girl is one of my best 34 . I really don’t know what I would do 35 her. She has been there for me in every 36 way a friend could be.
What I’m trying to say is that you never know 37 you’re helping yourself. I helped this girl never knowing that at the same time I was helping myself by finding a 38 friend.
So the next time you see a 39 and he needs someone who will 40 to him, wait and let him say what he wants to say. You never know, you might just end up helping yourself.

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked 36 at me and said, “I love you.” I didn't know what to say. 37 several seconds all I could do was to stand there and 38 down at him . My first thought was that he must need 39 with his homework or he was trying to 40 me for some news.
Finally I asked, “What was that all about?” “Nothing,” he said. “My teacher said we should 41 our parents that we love them and sees what they say. It’s 42 .
The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had 43 .
“Basically, most of the fathers had the 44 reaction as you did,” the teacher said. “When I first 45 we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.
“The 46 is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of 47 . It is something all people 48 . What I'm trying to tell the children is that it's too 49 we don't all express those feeling. A boy 50 tell his dad he loves him.”
The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how 51 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for a (n) 52 moment. And just 53 he pulled away , I said in my deepest , most manly voice , “Hey , I love you , too . ”
I don't know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time one of my children says “I love you”, it would not take me a whole 54 to think of the right 55 .

In a national spelling contest in America,an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her 36 voice the judges were not sure whether she spelled the word with the letter A or E. They talked it over and 37 decided to simply ask her what she had said. By now, the girl knew she had 38 the word. But instead of lying,she told the truth that she had said the 39 letter—so she lost the contest.
As the girl walked off the 40 ,the entire audience stood to their feet clapping to applaud her
41 . Later,dozens of newspaper reporters wrote about this 11-year-old girl’s honesty,even when it 42 her the contest. But the fact is that she 43 the biggest contest that day: the contest of her 44 .
Probably the biggest test of our character and honesty is that we would do if we knew we would never get 45 .This young girl could easily have 46 and nobody would have known it but herself. But that’s just it: She would know she did wrong. It’s been said, “If you 47 , you make yourself cheap.” This young girl was strong and smart enough to prize her own 48 and character more than the prize from a spelling 49 . Her respect for herself was more important than any 50 others might give her for winning a contest. She knew she would have to live with herself and the 51 she made in that moment will have long-lasting influence.
It’s so true that the choices you make today 52 what you are tomorrow. Our children will 53 our behaviour much more than our advice. So if we want them to 54 to be honest,we must show them the way by being honest ourselves. Remember,our kids are 55 what we do and how we live even when we don’t think they see or know.
