Parents’ blessing will play a great part in the growth of their children. My father wrote me a valuable letter before his death, one part of which always  36 . “I know you will do  37 great that will set you among the very best one day in the future.”
Since I first read his  38  at 12, they have lived in my heart.  39 ,I knew that my dad’s believing in me gave me permission to believe in  40  . “You will do something great.” He didn’t know  41  that would mean, but whenever I felt 42  of myself, I remember my father’s words, and  43  he were here, so I could ask, “Is this what you were  44 about, Dad?”
Many years have passed, and I believe that my father  45 have been proud when I  46 from basic training and became a rescue swimmer. Lately, I’ve come to realize he’d want me to move 47 to what comes next: to be proud of, and believe in someone else.
Yes, it’s time to all of us to  48  writing our own letters to our children. They look to us with the same  49  . “Is this it, Daddy? Am I doing fine?” It’s why every child growing up says, “Watch me!” Our children don’t  50   because they are not afraid to fail. They are only afraid of failing  51___.
Remember to give your children  52   to succeed. If you don’t have children, then write a letter to someone who 53 you. They are waiting for you to believe in them. Trust me, love will be 54  real and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts: “  55  ! You will do something great.” Not having that blessing from someone they love may be the only thing holding them back.

In Western society, three out of five people think once we’ve got our college degree, the learning phase is over – it’s time to work. In fact, we carry on learning after we’ve left school approached the right way, learning can be process of exploration, growth and enrichment.

For me, the primary reason to keep learning new things is not that it can give me the same enjoyment that I get from watching a movie. There are always frustrating （受挫） moments in the process, but I’m happier in the long run. Instead of chasing （追求） quick entertainment that fails to satisfy, you’ll have the pure pleasure of those moments when something finally clicks （成功）. The more you learn, the more you can make connections between pieces of knowledge, the more creative you’ll be.

I left my day job （如意的工作） last year because I was bored. The first month was fairly novel: it was my first experience of real work and I was learning a lot of new thins, some of them stretching me beyond my comfort zone （适温范围）. But after that, the routine （例行公事） was the same day after day. Now, I am working for myself, which enables me to learn all sorts of new things: both hard skills （including some higher degrees） and soft skills （like knowing how to interact well with clients 客户）. This keeps me interested and motivated. Learning has another benefit. Studies have shown older people who stay mentally active are much less likely to suffer from illnesses like Alzheimer’s disease （阿尔茨海默氏病）. Besides, in your personal life, you’ll want to learn how to bring up your kids well.

Learning about personal finance and money management – something that we’re rarely taught in school – can turn your life around. The final reason is because that’s what successful people do. If you decide that you’ve learnt everything you need to know about running a business or about competitors who have a passion for learning.
