You can reach almost any goal if you want to—but sometimes it takes great efforts to realize  your dream．

You can reach almost any goal if you want to—but sometimes it takes great efforts to realize  your dream．
That was quite true for me．When I was 17 years old，I broke my father’s1．He had  saved enough from an average income to send me to college to become a lawyer．Three months later I was home telling him that I had left college — and for the first time I saw him 2.
“Son，I’m always going to love you even though you’ll never achieve anything，’’he said with  tears(眼泪)in his eyes．
When I walked out of that room，I was burning with something within my body．Not  everyone has the chance to feel it．I did not just want to3 — I had to．
But I couldn't see how to do it and all the time my father’s words were in my mind. I become a salesperson．It was not4 because I knew almost nothing about marketing.
Then a man introduced me to the Edwards training course．I went and learned a lot of useful5．I tried my best to put them to work．Soon after that，I started tasting the sweet fruits of Success for the first time．
Some time later，I told the manager of my company that I would like to meet with Mr．Edwards．They arranged it for me．When the day came，I told him，“Mr. Edwards，my goal is to be able to train people just as you trained me．’’6，he agreed to let me try．
All that came true because I set goals to make it happen．Sticking to the goal was the most important．

      Suddenly

It was very cold outside my car. I did not want to get out of it__31__we passed by a cafe. Suddenly I noticed a short old man, __32__ with some bits of cloth, shaking(摆动)with the cold. He was waiting for anyone who would__33__ him a coin or a cup of hot coffee.
I asked my __34_ to go over and hand this old man something. He __35__ into my husband’s face, smiled and said, “__36__ . ” I felt so happy and I wished the old man could live __37__ the cold night.
I was sure to meet him again and find out how he was the next__38__, as I have to pass this way every day. I did so the next evening, and he remembered the__39__and came up to my window and __40__ at me. This time I offered(提供) him a __41__of food. He reached out for the bag and I gave him my hand. He __42__ the food, smiled and said, “May God bless you.” I looked at the old man and he __43__ me think of my father.
I do hope all of us will remember that maybe one day, it could happen to one of us, __44__ please do not pass by a __45__ person without offering at least a word of love and a kind smile or an act of kindness of any kind.
