One spring afternoon five years
ago, Jimmy Liao was crying in the hall of Taipei’s Sherwood Hotel. Life
seemed(36). The people who laughed as they walked past were taking their(37)
for granted, just as he(38) himself. Now, however, he felt(39)- and he couldn’t

Seeking more personally
satisfying(41), he had just left a successful career as a commercial(商业的) artist when it

According to Jimmy, you are what
you choose to be. You can (46) or you can work to be a happier person. Jimmy
realized that, while the world(47) seems unfair, your choice can change your

right for us- as it is for the “small people” in Jimmy’s books-if we make
choices that are(52) for us.
Despite his new(53) and wealth,
Jimmy prefers working(54) at home with his wife and daughter. He spends his
mornings drawing. To Jimmy, living a life as he chooses means much more than
money and fame could(55).
