I was watching a TV series one night when I took in one scene. A man was seeking his community votes, and people 36 wanted to know why they should give him their 37 . He took them to his house and on every 38 in his house was the word “Faith” pasted. People raised lots of 39 to find out why the word was pasted on his mirrors. He said, “My dad often 40 me to believe that as long as you have 41 , you should have faith. Every time you look in to the mirror, you’re looking at yourself and see ‘Faith’. ”
The 42 I learned from this is simple — faith is a living thing and in the same way we’re all 43 given 24 hours a day and we’re all given the same measure of faith. Faith keeps us going when things get 44 ! Why is some people’s faith stronger than that of others? Exercise! If we choose to exercise our faith, it will 45 ; but if we choose not to, it remains weak. Some people might 46 that they don’t have faith, but we all practice faith every day even if we don’t 47 it was faith. Daily 48 , such as studying, investing or reaching for a dream, take faith.
Faith 49 hearing and doing. I made a decision yesterday — to 50 reading the newspaper full of too much sad and 51 news. Why? Because I 52 there was a drop of my mental state after reading the newspapers.
Faith, when it’s put to 53 , becomes a beautiful thing, It lifts your mental state to a higher place that 54 you to raise yourself up and declare, “Yes we can.” So make the decision today to strengthen your faith by 55 it.

I think that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most 36 thing we ever give to each other is our attention (注意力). Especially if it’s 37 from the heart. When people are talking, there’s no need to do 38 but receive them. Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times 39 about it is even more important than understanding it.
One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story, people often 40 to tell her that they once had something just 41 that happened to her. Her pain became a story about 42 . So, finally she stopped 43 to most people because she just felt too lonely. When we interrupt what someone is 44 to let them know that we understand, we 45 the focus of attention to ourselves. But if we just 46 , they know we care. Many people with cancer can talk about the relief (宽慰) of having someone just listen.
I have 47 learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. I 48 that passing a person a tissue (面巾纸) may be just another 49 to shut them down and take them out of their experience of 50 . Now I just listen. When they have 51 all they need to cry, they find me there with them.
This 52 thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very 53 . I thought people listened only 54 they were too shy to speak or did not know the 55 . A loving silence often has far more power to heal than words.

A wise man was visiting the Ganges, a river which flows through northern India, to take a bath. He found a group of family members on the 26 , shouting angrily at each other. He___27 his disciples(弟子), smiled and asked, “Why do people shout in 28 at each other ?” The disciples 29 for a while and one of them said, “ Because we 30__ our calm, we shout.” “But, why should you shout 31 the other person is just next to you ?

He looked at his disciples and said, “So, when you 43 , do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance each other more. 44 there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to 45 . You may end up becoming enemies, for instance.”

No discouraged easily, I remembered seeing a 5 by the bed when I put away my luggage 6 in the day．I found the bed in the dark and felt around until I found the lamp, but when I switched it on, 7 happened! Now what?
Though I knew that it was dark outside my window 8 the outdoor light was burned out, I thought that 9 if I opened the curtains I might be able to use the light from the 10 to find another lamp．So I 11 my way slowly across the room to the curtains and．．．no draw-string!

It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why．
First of all, mistakes are a clear 36 that you are trying new things．It’s always 37 to try new things because when you are trying new things you are 38 ．If you never try anything new, how can you 39 ? The simple answer is “You can’t”．With few exceptions, every single detail of development is the 40 of someone trying something new．
When you are making mistakes, you are 41 ．Edison failed 10,000 times before he 42 the light bulb．When asked how it felt to 43 that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t 44 ．
Finally, when you make a mistake you are much 45 to success．Why ?
When all is done, you will have tried some number of things before you succeed． 46 you make a mistake you eliminate (排除) one of those things and are one step closer．
But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead 47 considering the consequences of a mistake．Quite the contrary, when you try something new, you 48 be willing to set some reasonable limits, so that in the event that it doesn’t 49 the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again．
We all have 50 resources in time and money, so don’t blow them all on one 51 to a problem．Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time, and allocate (分配) these resources properly so you can learn, 52 corrections, and try it again．Only by 53 and using your mistakes in this way, can you make significant 54 in your business or career．
As an old saying goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough．”
So go 55 and make mistakes．And learn．And grow．And succeed．

Three years ago, I had a job in a retail store (零售店). I 21 to talk to everybody and know what was going on in their 22 . I remember a girl who started 23 there a few months after me. We seldom talked but we always 24 each other and smiled.
She always smiled in a really happy way 25 one day when we got to work in the 26 department. She smiled as if she was the 27 girl in the world. I went up to her and asked, “What’s wrong with you?” She answered, “Why?” I said, “I could feel you’re very 28 , but you’re always trying to 29 it.”
Her mouth just dropped as if I had 30 her deepest secret, so we started talking. She told me 31 she was feeling unhappy and why she was trying to 32 that nothing was wrong. Time went by and we became good friends. She’d always tell me I had 33 her life in so many ways.
Today that girl is one of my best 34 . I really don’t know what I would do 35 her. She has been there for me in every 36 way a friend could be.
