During his college years, Sherman Rogers spent a summer in logging(伐木) camp. When the boss had to leave for   41   days, he put Rogers in charge(掌管).
“What shall I do if the men   42   to follow my orders?” Rogers asked. He thought of Tony, a worker who complained all day, gave the other men a   43   time.
“Fire（解雇） them,” the boss said. Then, as if reading Rogers’ mind, he added, “I suppose you are going to fire Tony if you get the   44  . I’d feel badly about that. I have been logging for 40 years. Tony is one of the best workers I’ve ever had. I know he hates everybody and   45  . But he comes in first and leaves last. There has not been an   46   for eight years on the hill where he works.”
The next day, Rogers went to Tony, “Tony, do you know I’m in charge here today?” Tony said yes. “I was going to fire you the first time we quarreled,   47   I want you to know I’m not,” he told Tony, adding   48   the boss had said.
When he finished, Tony dropped the things in his hand and tears went down his   49  .
“Why didn’t he tell me that eight years   50   ?”
That day Tony worked   51   than ever before – and he smiled!
Rogers went back to   52   after that summer. Twelve years later he met Tony again who was now boss for one of the largest logging companies in the West. Rogers asked him how he came to California and happened to be so   53  .
Tony replied, “Were it not for the one minute you talk to me back that day, I would kill somebody some day. One minute   54   my whole life.”
Have you got one minute to thank someone? One minute to appreciate(欣赏) her or him? One minute. It can make a   55   for a lifetime.
