My father had always been       to work—we had always      he’d work less and spend more time with us      . But he is just a workaholic(工作狂).
My parents were trying so hard to make ends meet, so I couldn’t become a      on them. As a result, I       college and spent the next couple of years drifting from one minimum wage job to another.

One night, while I was working at a donut shop and 34 coffee for a homeless customer, I       that I was one paycheck away from being homeless myself. That was my wake-up       .

Less than a year later, I was      by a dog trainer, and I loved the work. A couple of years later, I started my own dog-training school, which luckily turned out to be       . My efforts paid off.

A lecturer was giving a lecture to his students on stress (压力) management. He        a glass of water and asked the audience, “How           do you think this glass of water is?”
The students’ answers ranged (变化)           20g to 500g.
“It does not matter on the absolute           . It depends on how        you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for a(n)           , I will have a pain in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to          an ambulance(救护车). It is exactly the           weight, but the longer I hold it, the         it becomes.” The whole audience became silent, lost in thought.
After a moment, the lecturer continued, “        we carry our burden(负担) all the time,          , we will not be able to carry on with the burden becoming increasingly heavier,           heavy for us to bear.
“What you have to do is to           the glass, rest for a while           holding it up again.”
As is shown in the story above, we have to put down the burden periodically,        we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.
So before you         home from work tonight, put the burden of           down. Don’t carry it back        . You can pick it up tomorrow.
Whatever burden you are having now on your        , let it down for a moment if you can.

I was a single parent of four small children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always tight, but we had a       over our heads, food on the table, clothes on our backs, and if not a lot, always      . Not knowing we were poor, my kids(孩子们) just thought I was      . I’ve always been glad about that.
It was Christmas time, and although there wasn’t       for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party. But the big       for the kids was the fun of Christmas      .
They planned weeks ahead of time, asking       what they wanted for Christmas. Fortunately, I had saved $120 for       to share by all five of us.
The big          arrived. I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and          them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered(散开). We had two hours to shop; then we would       back at the “Santa’s Workshop”.
Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits,       my younger daughter, Ginger, who was unusually      . She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies— fifty-cent candies! I was so angry, but I didn’t say anything       we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed the door,     to be angry again. This is what she told me:
“I was looking      thinking of what to buy, and I       to read the little cards on the ‘Giving Trees’.One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she       for Christmas was a doll(玩具娃娃). So I took the card off the tree and       the doll for her. We have so much and she doesn’t have anything.”
I never felt so       as I did that day.

A few weeks after my first wife, Georgia, was called to heaven, I was cooking dinner for my son and myself. For a                , I had decided on frozen peas. As I was cutting open the bag, it                    from my hand and crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles,           everywhere. I tried to use a broom,        with each swipe they just rolled across the kitchen.
For the next week, every time I was in the    , I found a pea---in a corner, or behind a table leg. They kept         . Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and      12 frozen peas hidden underneath.
At the time I found those few remaining           , I was in a new relationship with a wonderful       I’d met in a support group. After we married, I was reminded    those peas under the refrigerator, and realized that my             had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had shattered(破碎). My wife had died; I was in a new city with a busy job, and with a son having trouble          his new surroundings and the          of his mother. I was a bag of spilled frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered.
When life gets you       , when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you’ll never      , remember that it’s just a bag of scattered frozen peas. The peas can be      , and life will move on. You’ll find all the peas      , including the ones that are hardest to find. And when you’ve got them      you’ll start to feel whole again.
The life you know can break apart at any time. But you’ll have to         , and how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom,     will you pick them up one by one and put your life back together?

Even people who don’t have much talent for acting or singing still dream of being discovered by a talent scout (星探). It seems just like          the lottery(彩票), but better            you get fame and money.
For me, the dream seemed likely to stay a dream. But everything           last week in Beijing. I was eating dinner with some friends. As I was getting ready to pay, a young Chinese woman came running up to me. I was            that I must have done something horrible to offend(冒犯) her without          it.
“You are a white man,” she said          when she got to our table.
“Yes, I am a white man,” I replied.
“Can you speak         ?” she asked.
“Yes.”
“Oh good. Come with me now, please.”
I walked outside and saw that a movie was being shot in front of one of the street’s largest  _        .
The woman, a talent agent (经纪人), had         a foreigner for this movie, but he had forgotten to         . She needed to find a white guy who spoke English, and I was the only one            . My part was to walk from one end of the street to the other, and then         the club. When I got to the club, I was supposed to         to my friend and say, “Forget about the girl, man. We are here to party!” It took me three tries to say the line         or walk without tripping(绊倒), but       I got it right.
The talent scout ran to me afterward. “You are so         . I would like you to join my agency.” I know I am not going to be the next Jay Chou.           , it seems that my         “star” talents are being white and being able to speak English.       , next time you are watching a Chinese movie, look in the        . If you see a white guy stumbling (蹒跚) on his way into a nightclub, it might just be me on my way to stardom (星途)!

If it is possible to see red(get angry) about not seeing red, that is what I was doing. We had        the timing of our autumn trip to see the changing       in the Great Lakes States, and I was really       . No matter how I strained my eyes(尽力注视), I couldn’t spot red anywhere. Not      a bit of golden yellow broke through the dull greenery.
This vacation was a complete    . I sat alone in the backseat of our rented car and got        . as we drove north through the dull, dark green. In the      seat my brother and my father chatted merrily, obviously       .
Then a motto came to mind: “Happiness is a decision.” It must have been something my mother said. She was always passing on words of         . When I was a child, She gave me a black book with         pages. On the flyleaf(扉页) she had written, “Look for a beautiful thing and you’ll find it.” I was supposed to         a record of the most beautiful thing I saw each day.
I remembered spending hours discussing what I’d       . A baby’s smile? A stone shining with fool’s gold? Pictures in the clouds, or tulips tipping their heads? I found so many beautiful things that it was      to pick just one.
Now, on the road, I played Mother’s game again. I took in the all-green       . Thick forests lined both sides of the highway. The long hill pines and spruce were seen      . Maple leaves danced in the gentle wind. I felt like a little girl again---        by beautiful things.
Later in the       , after we crossed the Upper Peninsula and drove into Canada, I found the bright          plants I had been looking for. But by then I’d already seen a million shades of         , the infinite variety and beauty that only our heavenly Father can         . And that we can always find---if we look closely enough.

For a long time I saw happiness as a huge banner (旗帜) across the finish line of a long race. I felt that only when I managed      certain things could I finally be happy in my life. Most of the time I felt like a tortoise believing that being           and steady(稳步的) would win the race. At other times I would          like a rabbit trying different side roads at a dangerous     hoping to reach that banner a little faster.    ,I began to see that no matter how long I raced towards it,the banner was never any    .I finally decided to    and take a rest.

There is an old Chinese proverb that says,“Tension is who you think you should be.
     is who you are.” Perhaps we all should stop our race towards the       life we think we should have and       the life we have now. Happiness will never be found under some banner far away. It will be found       your own heart,soul and mind. It will be found when you       that others love you just as you do.
Don’t be a tortoise or a rabbit when it comes to your happiness. Be a playful puppy and carry your stick of    with you everywhere you go.      yourself out of the race and realize that when it comes to love and happiness,you are    there.

I used to be a very self-centered person, but in the past two years I have really changed. I have started to think about other people       I think about myself. I am happy that I am becoming a       person.
I think my      started when I was at Palomar College. At first, I just wanted to get my      and be left alone. I thought I was smarter than everyone else, so I hardly ever         to anyone in my classes. By the end of my first semester, I was really      . It seemed as if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun. So tried a(n)    , I started asking people around me how they were doing, and if they were having trouble,  I        to help. That was really a big        for me. By the end of the year, I had several new friends, two of         are still my best friends today.
A bigger cause of my new      , however, came when I took a part-time job at a Vista Nursing Home. One old lady there who had Alzheimer’s disease became my      . Every time I came into her room, she was so        because she thought I was her daughter. Her real daughter never        her, so I took her place. She let me        that making others feel good make me feel good, too, when she died, I was        , but I was very grateful to her.
I think I am a much      person today than I used to be, and I hope I will not        these experiences. They have       me to care about other people more than about myself. I      who I am today, and I could not say that a few years ago.

I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I ’m left       . Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other      
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s,       children from different races and religions played and studied     in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone’s     from Ismail’s. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hindu——we just       our differences. Perhaps, our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice,well       or otherwise.
We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we'd       the countryside on our bicycles, hoping to       the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his      .
When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail’s family later returned to their village, and I          touch with him.
One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I       my destination. The driver acknowledged my       but did not move off. Instead, he looked       at me.“Raddar?" he said, using my childhood nickname(绰号). I was astonished at being so         addressed (称呼). Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two      we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something       to describe.
If we can allow our children to be      without prejudice, they'll build friendships with people, regardless of race or religion, who will be       their side through thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and      we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote, “We happy few, we band of brothers".

She wanted to come over and see me. I was       because our dates were usually planned. She asked for       to my place, but instead of replying, I asked where she was. She was using a payphone outside our favorite      .
With more persistence(坚持),she       again. I offered the name of the main street-but with no further detail. Sensing the awkwardness of the moment, she       the call. Fear settled over me. I was       of two things; (1) I had made her angry; (2) she would try to find out where I lived.
I raced to my car and drove to the place I thought Mary had called from. Maybe she was having dinner or waiting to see if I would       . When I arrived, she wasn’t there. There were no cellphones in 1984, so my best       was to drive back and call her. She wasn’t at home. Panic had now      the fear. I walked outside to see if Mary was trying to find me.
She found me       quickly replaced panic. When she saw me and the apartment building where I lived with my parents, I knew she       why I didn’t want her to come.

She rushed toward me with the kindest smile I had ever seen. Without any          , she told me what       was that she loved me, not where I lived, She       we could share a life together, and if that happened, our home would always be a beautiful place to live.
At that moment, love arrived and my heart       her forever. Holding onto this memory is a good reminder on the days when we forget about love’s beautiful grace.
