The people who laughed as they walked past were taking their 2    for granted, just as he 3    himself. Now,however, he felt 4   and he couldn't even show his disappointment in his 5    .

Seeking more personally satisfying 6   ，he had just left a successful job as a commercial artist when it seemed that fate(命运)played a cruel 7    on him. It was at this time that he developed cancer and was 8    to work. But that moment in the hotel was a turning point for Jimmy.
