Listening to your heart
Do you ever wish you had a road map for living? If only someone could    1    show us a way to go, a direction to take, we wouldn’t feel so    2    of which path to pursue. We think that, with only a little    3    , we’ll surely end up in the right place.
4     on a regular flight from Detroit to Tri-City Airport must have felt a little more than    5     during the flight attendant’s greeting as their flight started. She     6     the passengers and stated that the destination would be Midland. A few concerned passengers   7    her, so the flight attendant, obviously not familiar with the area,     8     herself by saying that they would be     9      in “Tri-City” and Bay City.
Chuckles rippled along the aisle as she    10    tried again. This time she informed passengers that the destination would be Saginaw. Now    11    broke out.
At that point, an authoritative voice came over the intercom (对讲机) and    12     her. “I’m your pilot, folks,” he said. “Don’t    13   — I know where we’re going.”
It’s nice when someone knows the     14    . And there is wisdom in seeking help when necessary. Other people can be valuable.    15     we cannot always depend on others for the    16    answers for living our lives. In the end, nobody can point us to all the best   17    for life’s problems; nobody else can    18    us to the path that is just right for us. We find that way ourselves. We find the way by    19   . Listening to our hearts — for the direction we need is almost always there, deep within.
So if you feel a bit lost, don’t worry. This may be a    20    time to listen. And remember — your pilot knows where you’re going.
