Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.I always encourage such people, but also  that there's a big difference between"   2   a writer "and writing.In most   3   these individuals (个人) are dreaming of   4   and fame, not the long hours   5   at a typewriter."You've got to want to write, "I say to  6_, "not want to be a writer".

    The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and   7   paying affair.For every writer kissed   8   fortune there are thousands more whose desire is   9    rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S.Coast Guard to become a freelance writer (自由撰稿人),I had no prospects (chances of success)   10 .What I did have was a friend who   11   me my room in a New York apartment building.  12    didn't even matter that it was cold and had   13   bathroom.I immediately bought a used manual(手控的)   14    and felt like a genuine writer.

     After a year or so,   15   ,I still hadn't got a break and began to   16 myself.It was so hard to sell a story that hardly made enough to eat.  17   I knew I wanted to write.I had   18   about it for years.I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering.  19   if ? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of   20   .This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.

  I am a sales representative and I travel all over England to visit my customers.I always   1   to meet a client first in the morning and I usually have several visits to   2   in a day.

  One cold February morning I was due to   3   a store at 9 am.I parked my car, wrapped my scarf around me and   4   up the street towards the shop front.

  The small lane where the store was   5   was partially blocked by two workmen who were busy   6   the broken pavement.I braced myself for the expected catcalls(嘲笑嘘声).I was up early, out in the cold, and was laughed at by two men I didn't even   7  

  Then I stopped and remembered my own father.Both he and my grandfather had   8   much of their early careers working outside in   9   jobs before they became engineers.I remembered how hard Dad worked, in all kinds of   10  ; how he'd come home with sunburn or frostbite(冻疮).I   11   that if I was cold, then these two guys were probably freezing, given that it looked   12   they'd already been working for hours.

  My customer's shop wasn't   13   but I wasn't annoyed at his lateness.I went to a coffee shop around the corner,   14   myself a hot chocolate, and then I bought two more, with cream.

  I made my way down the lane   15   the workmen.One of them turned to with a wide smile and   16   with a joke, “Oh love, you shouldn't have! ” To his   17  , I passed him the plate with the two steaming hot chocolates.I   18   ,“Maybe not.But it's too cold to be working outside today.”

  I got two looks of genuine(真诚的)   19   from the two strangers, and a timely reminder that it is as easy to be kind as it is to prejudge(怀有成见的), but the former is

  so much more   20  .From this experience, I received something different:a smile, a feeling of happiness, a sense of friendship with strangers, and the confidence to give more.
