Recently I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport．They had announced the 1 ．Standing near the security gate, they 2 and the mother said“I love you and I wish you enough．”The daughter replied,“Mom, our life together has been 3 enough．Your love is all I 4 needed．I wish you enough, too, Mom．”They kissed and the daughter left．The mother walked 5 to the window where I was seated．Standing there I could 6 she wanted and needed to cry．I tried not to intrude(侵犯)on her 7 but she welcomed me in by asking“Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be 8 ?”
“Yes
, I have．”I replied．“Forgive me for asking 9 why is this a forever good-bye?”“I am old and she lives so far away．I have challenges ahead and the 10 is－the next trip back will be for my 11 ．”She said．
“When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say‘I wish you enough’．May I ask what that means?”she began to smile．“That's a wish that has been handed down from other 12 ．My parents used to say it to everyone”．She 13 a moment and looked up as if trying to remember 14 in detail and she smiled even more．“When we said‘I wish you enough’we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to 15 their life”．
Then turning toward me she 16 the following as if she were reciting it from memory．
I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright．I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more．I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive．I wish you enough pain 17 the smallest joys in life appear much 18 ．I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting．I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess．I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final 19 ．
She then began to cry and walked away．They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to 20 them．
Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training．Therefore, the 1 of a job should be made even before the choice of a curriculum(课程)in high school． 2 ．most people make several job choices during their working lives, 3 because of economic and industrial changes and partly to improve 4 position．The "one perfect job" does not exist．Young people should 5 enter into a broad Hexible(灵活的)training program that will 6 them for a field of work rather than for a single 7 ．
Unfortunately many young people have to make career plans 8 benefit of help from a 9 vocational counselor(顾问)or psychologist．Knowing 10 about the professional world, or themselves for that matter, they 11 their life work aimlessly．Some move from job to job．
Others 12 to work in which they are unhappy and for which they are not 13 One common mistake is choosing an occupation for its real or imagined prestige(声望)．Too many high-school students-or their parents for them-choose the professional field, not 14 the relatively small proportion of workers in the professions or the extremely high educational and personal 15 ．he imagined or real prestige of a profession or a "White-collar" job is 16 good reason for choosing it as life's work． 17 these occupations are not always well paid． 18 a large proportion of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the 19 of young people should give serious 20 to these fields．
