When I was in middle school, I was one of the smaller players on the basketball team. In our first game of the season, we were   31   to face a good team, all of whom were tall guys. Naturally, at my   32  , it would have been easy to be   33   by our competitors.

  On game day, my basketball coach called me over to him. He was a strong and tough coach, and in his   34   rough manner said, “Joel, you’re not that   35  , but let me tell you that size doesn’t matter. Don’t be afraid. What   36   is right down in here.” He pointed his finger at his   37   as he continued, “Joel, you’ve got a big heart, and you’re to   38   it this year.”

    When I heard the coach’s   39   , I stood taller than usual! I thought to myself: The coach believes in me! My confidence   40   and I played better that year than I’d ever done before.

It’s   41   what we can achieve when we know somebody really believes in us. That coach took a little time to make a big   42   . He took time to make me confident in myself. If we’re going to   43   the best in people, we need to sow seeds of   44   .

    As the saying goes, “Love looks for a way of being constructive.”   45   , love looks for ways to help improve somebody else’s life.

    When people are   46   us, they should leave better off than they were before. People should feel   47   and inspired after spending any time with you and me   48   feeling discouraged or defeated.

    Remember, there’s   49   greater investment（投资）in life than in being a people builder. Relationships   50   much more to us than our achievements.
