12．Last year，around Labor Day，I read a"Happy Ad"in our local newspaper．There was a lady in a local nursing home，who was celebrating her 90th birthday and her family wanted everyone to know about it．It said that if you wanted to drop her a line，here was her address．So I did．I found a birthday card and dropped her a short note，wishing her a happy birthday．
A week or so later，someone knocked at my front door．I opened the door and found a middle-aged man standing on my doorstep．He introduced himself as the son of this woman to whom I had sent the card．He explained that he just wanted to drop by in person and thank me for sending such a nice card to his mom．Apparently，like many older folks，she did not receive much mail and was quite excited to receive mine．I just didn't know what to say．I told him it was my pleasure and that I hoped his mom had enjoyed her birthday．
That year，I did not send out any Christmas cards，except to this lovely old lady in the nursing home．I just told her that I was thinking about her and hoped that she had a nice holiday．I sent her a Valentine and also a couple of notes in between．I just thought she might like to have someone write to her，to get some mail．
She passed away a couple of months ago．I never met this lady，but I did keep her and her family in my thoughts．I dropped them a line of sympathy．I hope that my few little notes were enough to brighten a couple of her days here on earth．

11．When I was a high school student，mathematics looked like a big hurdle（障碍）for me and several of my classmates．When we reached the ninth class，we got Mr．Iyer，a strict maths teacher who was also our class teacher．He always stuck to his discipline．We had to arrive on time，pay undivided attention to his lectures，and dared not neglect any of h is homework．
Even so，as our class teacher，we got to know him better．Noticing some of us fidgeting one day as the mid-term exams approached，he stopped solving a mathematical problem to ask us why．"There's too much to do，"we sighed．"We're afraid we'll never manage to finish our revision before the exams．"
"Nothing is impossible，"Mr．Iyer told us．"This classroom is on the second floor．Do you have a problem reaching here？"
We reacted with blank stares．
"No，you don't!"he said，answering his own question．"You have a staircase to help you climb up to this level．No one expects you to make it in two giant leaps．You simply take one step at a time．Any task can be solved if you focus on the immediate action to be taken．The rest w ill take care of itself，if you keep at it．One step at a time．That's the secret．"
Then he wrote down an o ld motto on the blackboard-the longest journey starts with a single step．Having heard his staircase analogy（比拟），w e understood why he asked us the question and we saw him in a new light．
Most of my classmates scored distinctions in maths．And I went on to become an English teacher．To this day，whenever I pass on Mr．Iyer's invaluable advice to my own students，they brighten up at the prospect of a lighter academic burden．
