I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier(收银台)in her general store.    71    I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you.”

At first I was paid in candy.      72     I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account.    73 

By the time I was 12, My grandmother thought I had done such a good job that the promoted me to selling cosmetics(化妆品). I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “What color do you think I should wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup(化妆)ideas.  74 

The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be a Rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener. _ 75__ expect they are NO longer women purchasing cosmetics (        ) from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.

A.    Later I received 50 cents an hour.

B.   Before long , she let me sir there by myself.

C.     I ended my selling a record amount of cosmetics.

D.    Today I still carry that lesson with me: I listen to customers.

E.     My grandma’s trust taught me how to handle responsibility.

F.     Soon I found myself looking more beautiful than ever before.

G.    Watching my money grow was more rewarding than anything I could have bought.

My chance came at last. Our school was going to hold a sports meet. I knew what it   41  to me so I got up very early to prepare for it. I  42  running and jumping. When I was   43 , I reminded myself of my promise and went on.
  44  the time came nearer, I felt quite   45 . On the first day I came fourth in the 1500m   46  but I was far from   47  because what I wanted most was the highlight of the sports meeting—250x8 relay race. I would run the last leg for my team.
With a shot, the race began. All the students were   48  for their team. The competition was so   49  that I began to feel nervous. Before my turn came, my team was   50  the others. Even worse, I almost dropped the stick when I was trying to   51  it.
  52 after that, there was nothing in my mind except to run as fast as possible. Just when I was approaching the finish line, my legs   53 . Then my promise came to mind again and   54  me to go on. To my surprise, I was the first to   55 the finish line!
  56 , I had proved to myself and those who had often laughed at me that I am not   57  at all! My classmates greeted me warmly and I hugged them tightly. I had won the prize as well as their   58 .
From the sports meeting, I learnt that sometimes things are not so difficult as they   59  to be. Just try your best without fear and you might be surprised at the   60 .

I always carry at least $3 in my car and also in my pocket. I save it for the person who asks if I can “spare some  36 ”. Smiling and making eye contact, I always   37 very cheerfully with a comment like, “Yes, I would love to”  38 “It would be my pleasure”. And I give them the  39  .
Then I  40 it with my next $3 for the next person. I   41 spend this money myself. I honor the idea that it belongs to the  42 of the next person who asks for it. Three dollars is a small  43 , yet it means a lot to the person who might only expect 25 cents,  44 when delivered with respect to them.
I have also formed the habit of carrying  45 I think the needy may be able to use. I carry hats, socks, gloves, and an umbrella. Recently I  46 some care packages for the homeless. It  47 to me that things like band-aids, toothpaste, aspirin, combs, as well as food would be of use. I imagined that they would need things that are not easy to  48 , so I chose plastic or paper containers. The folks who  49 them were delighted.
But I think it’s not just that I give them things that  50 . It’s that I see them for the beautiful ray of lights that they are. I know that they are  51 expressions of God and that this is how they are at the current time, not who they are. I am  52 to also give a hug and a smile with the money. And I always remember it is they who bless me with the  53 to be kind! What a joy! I felt  54 good and proud of what I had done. See, that’s the added  55 about completing acts of kindness —you feel fantastic.
