I was hoping to have a 36 this summer before my busy senior year, but my mother asked me to do her a 37. One of her colleagues needed a full-time 38 . “You planned to volunteer at the local hospital, why not volunteer to 39 to Nick instead?” Then she told me that this six-year-old boy was not a 40 child.‎ Nick was a lovely little boy who suffered from many disorders. Normal day-care centres would not 41 him. As a baby, he had serious ear infections which left him with equilibrium（平衡）problems. He couldn’t 42 or run properly. I was 43 if I was to take the job when my mother 44 , “Don’t you want to be a nurse in the future? I doubt if you even have the 45 .”‎ Then I told her I was 46 for the job.‎ The day started at 7:00 a.m. Nick was my wake-up call! With so much energy and very little 47 , he was quite a mix.‎ At the park, when he saw all the other children play on the jungle gym and swings, the boy’s face 48 up—How he wished he belonged to the group of his age! You would think it would be 49 to get a child to go down a slide. Believe me, it wasn’t! It took him a lot of time. But with patience and support. Nick took one step up the slide each day. We worked together to face his 50 and gradually he got closer to taking the slide of his life.‎ Halfway through the summer, he 51 it to the top of the slide. With my arms holding him tightly, we flew down the slide! I waited for his 52 . After realizing that he was safe and sound, he gave me a big 53 and asked, “May I go down again alone?”‎ I had never been happier in my life when I saw this little child climb the ladder and enjoy what other children 54 for granted.‎ This 55 child taught me that being a nurse means respect, kindness and patience.‎ ‎36.

Who will? ”All of a sudden，the audience fell 26 ．The silence lasted for nearly ten minutes．After ten minutes，the acrobatic master said nothing，just put the child on his shoulders and walked past along the tightrope．Sure enough，this time he 27 once more．‎ Faced with things far from their own 28 ，people can often make judgments easily and quickly，but once involved in(牵涉)it，most of people “cannot 29 it　clearly”.

The music emanating from（来自） the zither was delicately streaming throughout the whole 11 . However, during the one-hour play, only six or seven people were truly 12 the charming music. John only got 52 dollars for his work that day. ‎ However, in normal days, when John is about to hold a 13 , one ticket can be sold at more than 100 dollars and it is extremely 14 to buy a ticket even at such a high price. Therefore, later, many passers-by in the station that day felt deeply 15 for not recognizing the famous musician and missing such valuable but 16 music feast. ‎ I have a very 17 friend who had totally changed after knowing that his wife 18 an acute illness. He cooked by himself for the family and took a walk with his wife every day. Nonetheless, his wife still did not manage to 19 the illness and passed away after three months. After that, he often sighed 20 that due to his past busy life, he had missed a lot of beautiful time with his wife. But now, it is 21 to make up for it. ‎ It is no use crying over spilt milk. We have ‎22 a lot of precious things in ‎ our life without knowing how to 23 them. Actually, I also missed something 24 before. The reason is simple: we had thought that we could still own them tomorrow. ‎ Nevertheless, tomorrow is actually 25 reliable. There was a famous Buddhist monk saying that in many people’s lives, they have only done two things: waiting and 26 .

It’s like looking at the tiled (铺瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is 1 .‎ Once I heard a bald man said, “Whenever I enter a room, all I see is hair.” Once you’ve 2 what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will 3 make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different 4 , or forget about it and 5 the tiles in your life that are not missing. ‎ We all know people who have had a relatively 6 life, yet are essentially unhappy, while people who have suffered a great deal generally remain happy.‎ The first 7 is gratitude. All happy people are grateful. Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to 8 , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.‎ The second secret is awareness. We should 9 that happiness is a byproduct (副产品) of something else. The most obvious 10 are those pursuits ( 追求) that give our lives purpose---anything from studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are 11 to experience.‎ Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our 12 has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We need a spiritual faith, or a philosophy of life. Whatever your philosophy is, it should 13 this truth: if you choose to find the ‎14 in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed.

She was disappointed. “Maybe the child did not listen 38 ” she thought. She 39 “Laiq, listen carefully. If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have?”‎ ‎ Laiq had seen the 40 on his teacher’s face. He 41 again on his fingers. But within him he was also 42 the answer that would make the teacher happy. This time hesitatingly he replied, “Four.”‎ ‎ The disappointment stayed on the teacher’s face. Suddenly she 43 that Laiq liked strawberries. She thought maybe he didn’t like apples and that was why he couldn’t answer the question. This time with an excitement in her 44 she asked, “If I give you one strawberry and one strawberry and one strawberry, then how many you will have?”‎ ‎ Seeing the teacher 45 , young Laiq calculated on his fingers again. There was no pressure on him, but a little on the teacher. She wanted her new 46 to succeed. 47 a hesitating smile young Laiq replied, “Three?”‎ ‎ The teacher now had a 48 smile. Her approach had succeeded. She wanted to 49 herself. But one last thing remained. 50 she asked him, “Now if I give you one apple and one apple and one more apple how many will you have?”‎ ‎ Confidently Laiq answered, “Four!” The teacher was 51 , “How Laiq, how?” she demanded in a little impatient voice.‎ ‎ In a voice that was 52 and hesitating young Laiq replied, “Because I already have one 53 in my bag.”‎ ‎ The story tells us: 54 someone gives you an answer that is 55 from what you expect, don’t think they are wrong.

Apply these principles in your life, and you will find yourself on your journey to simplification. ‎ When you concentrate on one task, you find you have 49 that you didn't even know you had. The pressure at work is on the rise. In the modern nuclear family, the expectations that formerly would have been 50 among all the relatives are now 51 on the individual partner. If you feel 24 hours per day are not enough, it’s not because the day has too 52 hours, but because you have too many activities. A simple fact is that overloaded people tend to forget. The 53 is equally simple: refuse to accept so many work assignments. ‎ ‎“I can handle stress” is regarded as a positive statement. People who can handle stress are given more— until one day they 54 . Pay careful attention to the signs that tell you that you are under more stress than you can handle. These signs came from various areas of life. You become ill, or your work efficiency 55 . ‎ If you have any of these symptoms, change your life goals and decrease your tolerance of stress. Say openly, “I can’t manage that.”‎ ‎48.
