Shaping a child is like shaping clay（粘土）— you have to start from the beginning and work your way to the end with extreme caution but with gentle and loving   16 . However, unlike clay, you don’t get a second   17  with a child. You can put all the clay back together and start again but with a child, what is done is done.   18  it’s even more caution with care.

Building a child’s esteem is no small play; it makes your black hair   19 , steals away years of your life and still will not look done. Therefore you have to learn how to build self-esteem and   20  your child from the beginning. After all, parenting begins from babyhood.

Small case could leave large   21  on your child’s mind. Reason why you should not overlook something that went wrong. If another child   22  your kid, everyone laughed and you told your son to   23  it, that’s the first wrong step. You have to teach your child to   24  up for himself. Don’t let your child fall down inside. Tell him to ask the child why he is hitting him or   25  to the nearest adult he can reach.

Most of all before you speak to a child you have to be a   26  example. If you go around laughing at people, your kids will do the   27 . If you are a coward（懦夫）yourself and do not stand up to situations, do not   28  your child not to follow you. Children are like monkeys—they copy every   29 , from how you eat to how you handle situations.

Building self-esteem begins at home. Small self-confident acts make a(n)   30  impact on your child.

I got a cancer when I was 18. This was a big deal for someone to 31. I chose to fight. After treatments, I 32 from my illness. Life couldn’t have been any 33. When I became fit years later, I met a wonderful man and got married. 34, I still felt something missing and eager to find my 35.

As my 20-year anniversary (周年纪念) of being a cancer 36 approached, I wanted to do something special and 37. I organized a fundraiser, calling it “A Mission (使命) of Love” and thanks to my 38 family and friends, raised﹩4,000 for St. Jude’s, planning to 39 it myself. Three quarters of the money would be given as a (n) 40 to the hospital, and what was left would go toward buying 41 for the children. I also organized a T-shirt 42 activity for any child who felt well enough.

Thanksgiving Day seemed the most 43 day of the year for the mission, and so it was all arranged. We went to a store and 44 three shopping carts with toys. It was 45 we were celebrities (名人) when the employees and other shoppers knew what we were doing.

On Thanksgiving Day, as we got to St. Jude’s, I became 46 emotional, as my eyes were filled with tears of 47. After dropping the toys off, we arrived where six children were waiting anxiously to begin painting. To me, it was as though they weren’t sick, and to see them smile was the greatest gift I could have ever 48.

Leaving there that day, I knew I had finally found my purpose. All of us are born for a reason, but all of us don’t 49 why. Success in life has nothing to do with what you 50 in life. It’s what you do for others.

One day a wealthy family went on a trip to the countryside. The father wanted to 1 his son how 2 people live 3 they spent a day and a night in the farm of a very poor 4 .

When they got back from their trip the father asked his son, “My dear son, how was the 5 ?” “very 6 , Dad!” answered the boy. “Did you see how poor people live?” the father asked．“Yeah!” answered the son. “And what did you learn?” asked the father. The son answered,” I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a 7 that reaches to(延伸到) the middle of the garden and they have a creek(小溪) that has no 8 . We have imported lamps(进口灯具) in the garden and they have the 9 . Our patio（天井） reaches to the front yard, 10 they have a whole horizon(旷野).” When the little boy was 11 , his father was speechless.

His son 12 ,”Thanks Dad 13 showing me how 14 we are!”

You can’t buy 18 of these things, 19 still you can have all the material possessions(财富) you can imagine, provisions(储备) for the future, etc．But if you are poor of spirit, you have nothing!
