The art of giving gifts is to give something that others cannot buy for themselves.             

                                         ------A.A. Milne

I have spent most of my career as a traveling salesman. There’s 36    lonelier than having meals myself in a coffee shop. One year, my five-year-old daughter Jeanine gave me a  37  . It was a soft toy penguin with a hand –painted  38  saying “I love My Dad!”  Tears came into my eyes and immediately, I gave it a  39  place on my desk.

    Soon I had to leave on another business  40  . This time when I was  41  , I put the penguin in my suitcase. After that day, Jeanine always helped me pack with the penguin. Many years  42  by and that little penguin has traveled with me hundreds of thousands of miles all across America and over to Europe. We have also made many friends  43   the way.

      44  one afternoon after leaving my hotel, I discovered that the penguin was  45  . Frantically, I phoned the hotel. The clerk  46   , saying it hadn’t been reported. But half an hour later, he called back to say that my penguin had been found. It was late,  47   I drove several hours to get my little  48  , arriving near midnight.

   When I rushed to the hotel, I found that it was waiting at the front desk. In the lobby(大厅), some   49  business travelers looked at us, I think, with some  50  and envy(羡慕). Someone came out to shake my hand. One man told me that he had even volunteered to  51  it to me the very next day.

   Jeannie is in college now and I don’t travel  52  much anymore. The penguin spends most of its time  53   on my dresser??????????--- a reminder that  54   is the best traveling companion. All those years on the road, it was the one thing I never left home  55  .

In the fall of 1985. I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later , I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.
My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.
Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt(收养) and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3.  In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.
You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8. Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.
The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.
In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!
I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember;little steps add up to big dreams.

Every year Chris Brogan posts his three words for a new year. many others and I have followed his lead for the past three or four years. They helped me a lot. My words for last year were “passion”, “focus” and “delegate” and I stayed true to them. This year, 2013, my goals are more personal and less professional.

FOCUS

Focus is making a repeat appearance on my list this year because I’m too much of a multitasker. The problem is that I have trouble finishing one thing with so many things calling me. When I was working as a writer, all my projects were handled via a schedule, I’m putting a fitness and housekeeping routine into my schedule.

HEALTH

I get so busy taking care of everyone else, and I forget to take care of myself and this has to change. My health suffers and my weight suffers. I have to get my health in check , not only for me but because I promised my 9-year-old son. I’ll make good food and lifestyle choices. I miss being thin, and it’s time to get it back.

CELEBRATE

What good is having it if I’m not taking time to enjoy it? I have a wonderful job, a happy family, and so much to be thankful for. So how come I spend all my time working? Last summer my family took our first vacation in four years, the best thing I’ve done for myself and my family in a long time. This year, I’m making sure to take time to enjoy life and celebrate its many blessings.

Do you have any words for 2013?

1.The underlined word “multitasker” probably refers to a person who          .

A.makes a living by writing

B.always fails to finish a task on time

C.has several things to do at the same time

D.pays more attention to fitness and housekeeping

2.Why does the writer have “HEALTH” as one of his three words?

A.He wants to take better care of others.

B.He’s gaining weight and feeling bad.

C.He did not take any exercise in the past.

D.He got the idea from his son.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A.The word “CELEBRATE” can remind the writer to enjoy life.

B.The writer has a vacation with his family every four years.

C.The word “FOCUS” can help the writer focus on his family.

D.The writer used to be overweight for lack of exercise.

4.The best title for the passage might be      .

A.Three Words for 2013                   B.Health Should Go First

C.Keep Organized                        D.Goals for 2013
