Trying harder isn't necessarily the solution to achieving more.It  18 offer any real promise for getting what you want out of life.Sometimes,  19  , it' s a big part of the problem.If you stake (拿……冒险) your hopes for a breakthrough on trying harder than ever, you may 20 your chances for success.

  I had a very special teacher many years ago whose husband died suddenly of a heart attack.About a week after his   1  , she shared her insights(顿悟)with the students.When the class was nearly over, she   2   and said, “I would like to   3   with all of you a thought that has   4   to do with class, but which I feel is very   5  .

  “Each of us is put here on the   6   to learn, share, love and appreciate ourselves.None of us knows when this   7   will end.At any moment it can be   8  .Perhaps this is life’s way of telling us that we must make good   9   of every day.” Her eyes beginning to   10  , she went on saying, “So I would like you all to   11   me.From now on, on your way home, find something   12   to notice.It doesn’t have to be something you see-it could be scent(香味)of fresh bread, or it could be the   13   of the wind slightly rustling(发出沙沙声)the leaves.”

  “Please look for these things, and   14   them.The little things are put here on the earth for us to enjoy.They are   15   observing, for at any time they can all be taken away.”

  The class was totally quiet.We all picked up our books and went out of the room   16  .That afternoon, on my way home I noticed   17   things than before.Every time I think of that teacher and remember what a(n)  18   she made on all of us, I try to   19   all of those things that sometimes we all ignore.For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we often regret,   20   the things we didn’t do.
