The question was once asked of a highly successful businessman,“How have you done so much in your lifetime?”

He replied,“I have   41 .I have turned my mind free to imagine   42  I wanted to do.Then I have gone to bed and thought about my dreams.In the night I dreamt about my dreams.

And when I awoke in the morning,I saw the way   43  my dreams real.White   44  people were saying,‘You can’t do that,it is   45 ,’I was well on my way to achieving what I wanted,”As Woodrow Wilson,28th President of the U.S.,said:“We grow great by dreams.All big men are

  46 .”

They see things in the soft fog of a spring day,or in the red fire   47  a long winter’s evening.Some of us   48  these dreams die,but others feed,protect and look after them;keep them through bad days until they bring them to the sunshine and light,it comes   49  to the people who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.

So please,don’t let anyone steal you dreams,  50  try to tell you they are too impossible.

“Sing your songs,dream your dreams,and hope your hope.”

On my first day of wish schoo1.I saw a boy from my class walking back home after schoo1.His name was David.He was carrying his books.As 1 was walking。I saw a group of kids running toward him.knocking all his books out of his arms.And then they ran away.David fell down and his glasses went flying.He looked up and I saw sadness in his eyes.1 helped him to look for his glasses and said.“The kids with bad manners should be punished.”There was a big smile that showed real gratitude(感激)on his face.

    From then on。we became friends.The more I got to know David,the more I liked him.Over

 the next four years,we always studied,played together and had a happy time.

    On graduation(毕业)day,I could see that he was nervous about his speech.So I said,“Hey,

you will be the best!” Then he began,“Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you succeed through those difficult years.Our parents,also teachers,but mostly our friends.Being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them.I’U tell you a story…”I just looked at the handsome popular boy in amazement as he told the story of the first day we met.

    Everyone Was surprised to hear all about his hardest moment.I saw his Mom and Dad looking at me and smiling that same thankful smile.Not until that moment did I realize its deep meaning.Never underestimate(低估)the power of your actions.With one small action,you can change a person’s  life.As you can see,“Friends are angels(天使)to make us rise when our wings(翅膀) have problems flying.”
