As I had my first child，I promised myself never to be a pushy parent.I was going to be a very __1__ and understanding mother.

　　 Five years later my little boy was about to　 __2__　 for his yellow belt in karate.As a five?year?old child，he wasn't taking it　 __3__，because it was mom trying to help him.He　 __4__　 the whole time.I found myself yelling and telling him he would never get the belt acting like that.I was trying to teach him his backflip(背摔)．He continued to play and I　 __5__　 to yell.Finally I had made him feel like he couldn't accomplish　 __6__，just as I promised myself I wouldn't do.

　　 Still mad and stubborn I couldn't __7__.I had to teach him this flip.He was doing fine with it __8__ we had to leave to go to karate.While taking the test，he did great.His instructor would ask him to do something，and it came　 __9__　 for him.He never　 __10__　 him to do the back?flip.He passed his yellow belt test.

　　 We got in the car to go home，when he looked at me and said，“Mom，__11__　 did you make me do that back?flip so many times，when it wasn't　 __12__　 on the test？”The words wouldn't have　 __13__　 anything to anyone else，but it was a slap in my face.That night while lying in bed，I told him I　 __14__　 him.

　　 He was playing and didn't __15__　 anything，just giggled(咯咯地笑)．I said“I really do love you baby.”I was still feeling __16__，and also wondering if he had　 __17__　 me.Finally he replied in the　 __18__ voice，“I know you do，but I love you more.”

　　 He had forgiven me and I had decided that his __19__　 was more important than any test he would ever take.I made a new　 __20__　 to be a better mother and to accept that he was only a child.

I will never forget what my old headmaster has taught me. 　31 when you are only 15 years of age, you do not remember most of the things that are taught by your teachers. However, this 　32 story is one such lesson that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I get 　33 of this story.

It was a normal Monday morning he was 　34 the students on important things in life and about 　35 ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story 　36 .

An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would 　37 every morning and get the train right to Central London, then 　38 at the street corner and beg. He would do this every 　39　 day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and had begged for almost 20years.

His house was 　40　 and unpleasant smell came out of the house. The neighbors could not 　41 the smell anymore, so they called the police officers to 　42　 this place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of 　43 all over the house that the old man had collected over the years.

The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a 　44　 . They waited outside his house, expecting to 　45 the good news with him. When he arrived home , he was met by one of the officers who told him that there was no 　46　 for him to beg any more. He said nothing 　47 , but went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he begged as usual.

Obviously, this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything significant for his life. We learn nothing from this story 　48　 staying focused on the things we enjoy doing.

We should remain true to our course, which may mean committing ourselves to things that people around us would normally 　49 ,let nothing else determine our fate, but ourselves.

What makes us happy is what 　50 in the end, not what we get.
