Then suddenly my father spoke up,“I gained the love ofmy family.” I looked at my sisters and saw tears in8.(they) eyes, along with hope and thankfulness.

I was moved by his words. After that, I would remember his words and become9./kɑ:m/ when I began to feel irritated（恼怒的） at someone. In this way, I learned the power of acceptance from my father.

Sometimes I wonder what other things I could have learned from him if I had listened more carefully10./wen/ I was a boy. For now I am grateful for this gift.

It is very important to have a law to base your life on. A law of life that1.(mean) a lot to me is that success is a journey, not a destination(目的地).

I also think my law of life can be applied（应用） by the Cardinals. They stay focused on7.(play) in the World Series. They know that even ifthey lose some games, they n8. give up.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have the9./??b?l?ti/ to be on the top in the end or win the championship. All that matters is that you worked hard the whole time. There are a f10.people in the world know that success is considered as a journey, not a destination. After all, it’s not about who wins or loses, but how well you play the game, and I hope I have applied this in my own life.

Dad’s words touched my heart. I couldn’t forgive8.(I) for having hurt his heart. I took out the report which was hid by me. I realized that my9.(honest) is not only important to me personally, but to those around me.
