The greatest source of inspiration for me has always been my father. Though he's been gone for 17 years, his ¡¡¡¡36¡¡ ¡¡still resonate(²úÉú¹²Ãù). He taught me how to run my own ¡¡¡¡37¡¡ ¡¡in life. But the most inspiring thing he taught me was to ¡¡¡¡38¡¡ .

One incident is ¡¡¡¡39¡¡ ¡¡in my mind. It happened when I was a teenager. My sister and I weren¡¯t very fond of a so-called friend of ¡¡¡¡40¡¡ . Dad was a very generous man, and as he'd done with so many people, he'd given this fellow great help. But when he asked for a favor¡¡¡¡ 41¡¡¡¡ , the guy didn't deliver.

Dad¡¯s outlook(ÈËÉú¹Û) on most things was "Live and let live." In this case, however, his calmness ¡¡¡¡42¡¡ ¡¡Terre and me, and we let him know it.

"How can you be nice to that man?" we said to him. "You've been so kind to him, ¡¡¡¡43¡¡ ¡¡he's not being kind back. Why would you want to give him the time of day again?"

My father shrugged(Ëʼç) and said to us, "I do not bend my back with ¡¡¡¡44¡¡ ."

I didn't ¡¡¡¡45¡¡ ¡¡it at first, but over the years I came to understand the ¡¡¡¡46¡¡ . Holding a grudge(Ô¹ºÞ) doesn't ¡¡¡¡47¡¡ ¡¡the person you're angry with, but it changes you. It makes you¡¡ ¡¡¡¡48¡¡ ¡¡and gives you more weight to drag around.

After my father died in 1991, a(n) ¡¡¡¡49¡¡ ¡¡came from a fellow I'd had a quarrel with years before to ¡¡¡¡50¡¡ ¡¡his sympathy. He wrote: "I thought I'd tell you how sorry I am ¡¡¡¡51¡¡ ¡¡the loss of your father. I know he ¡¡¡¡52¡¡ ¡¡the world to you. I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts."

Much moved, I wrote back. I thanked him for his ¡¡¡¡53¡¡ . And then, because he'd ¡¡¡¡54¡¡ ¡¡our disagreement, I recalled Dad's ¡¡¡¡55¡¡ ¡¡words. "I am my father's daughter," I wrote. "And like him, I do not bend my back with yesterday."
