While Christmas shopping in a jewelry store, I discovered a table of golden ornaments (饰品) on sale. So beautiful in 41 ,each had a personality of its own. I looked through hundreds of pieces, 42 a few and took them home.
I was afraid that they would disappear among other 43 gifts of a Christmas tree, 44 I used them to decorate wreaths (花环). When I stood back to 45 my work, a thought crossed my mind: Wouldn’t some of our family and friends like these, too?
I raced back to the jewelry store to discover that the piles of ornaments had been 46 even further. This time I bought dozens, as I 47 the many people who might enjoy one for the holidays.
I 48 began my creative project. While I tied lovely bows and glued golden ornaments, my mind 49 to Christmases past, how special each had been. I thought about others perhaps not so 50 . Some people in our community 51 had a family to share the joy of Christmas. Some didn’t 52 with holiday decorations.
I nodded my head in determined 53 . They would be at the top of my list to receive a little wreath. 54 the plan my husband showed great enthusiasm (热情) and we set out together to put it into 55 .
We visited the aged, the widowed (寡居的) and the lonely. Each one was 56 at our cheerful stop and 57 hung our small gifts — often the 58 signs of celebration in their homes.
After several days, I realized we had made and given almost two hundred wreaths. Decorated with 59 and delivered with delight, they filled many homes and hearts with the joy of Christmas. We were glad that our 60 did make sense and we found our Christmas spirit in doing and giving.

On a cold winter day, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the author of The Success Principles, who was going to deliver a speech on his new book.
During his talk, Jack 41 his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, ‘‘Who wants this?” 42 shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would 43 . But I jumped up, ran up the 44 to the stage, and grabbed the bill. As I was launching myself in the air, 45 raced through my mind — was I about to be humiliated(羞辱) in front of 800 people? Would they 46 security guards and take me from the stage? 47 my desire for bold （大胆的）action was louder than any 48 voice. As I got the bill from his hand, he said, “That’s it! We can’t wait for the 49 to come to us. We must take 50 to create what we want!’’
After his talk, I 51 to formally meet Jack and boldly asked for his personal e-mail address. Over the next months, I sent him emails 52 my points of view and dreams with him. He kindly e-mailed back lots of encouragement. But my life got busy 53 other things. I stopped e-mailing Jack.
A year later, my dreams had worn away. I thought Jack would inspire me into action, like a giant arrow that would show me the way.
I e-mailed him, and then again — but got no 54 . As I sat down at my computer to 55 my e-mails, I 56 woke up. What was I doing? I was waiting! Now I remembered the crowd, most likely 57 that hundred-dollar bill, while they sat glued to their chairs.
Usually we all have a “Jack” for whom we wait — whether it’s a person, a place or a thing. We 58 believe the gifts of life are just around the corner, and that everything will come in a(n) 59 way. So we don’t try. We 60 . But as Wayne Gretzky said，“You’ll always miss 100% of the opportunities you don’t take!” So I stopped waiting and started my writing career.
Now what are you waiting for?

Never would I forget the other night when I came across an unforgettable sight while watching the Olympics. It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a 36 of determination and courage.
The 37 was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks. Two of them, however, were disqualified(取消资格) due to 38 starts. That left only one to 39 . That would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to race 40 . I watched the man dive off the 41 and knew right away that something was 42 . Now I’m not an expert swimmer but I do know a good dive from a poor one, and this man was far from being a medal winner. When he 43 , it was clear that the man was not out for gold.

I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I’m left 1 . Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other 2 ?
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s, 3 children from different races and religions played and studied 4 in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone’s 5 from Ismail’s. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hindu—we just 6 our differences. Perhaps, our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice, well 7 or otherwise.
We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we’d 8 the countryside on our bicycles, hoping to 9 the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his 10 .
When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail’s family later returned to their village, and I 11 touch with him.
One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I 12 my destination. The driver acknowledged my 13 but did not move off. Instead, he looked 14 at me. “Raddar?” he said, using my childhood nickname. I was astonished at being so 15 addressed (称呼). Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two 16 we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something 17 to describe.
If we can allow our children to be 18 without prejudice, they’ll build friendships with people, regardless of race or religion, who will be 19 their side through thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and 20 we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote,“we happy few, we band of brothers”.
