I felt sad and thought,“What would I say when the other kids asked what I'd ?” Just when I started to that there would not be a Christmas that year,three women at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn't .Somebody had thought of me to bring me a gift. Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my . Christmas there special and memorable, I _ remembered the woman’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of for as many children as I could possibly.
So I a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿)at the Christmas party. For every child,we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys,clothes,and school supplies, with a child's name. We wanted all of them to know they were .Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts,I them that they couldn't open their presents every child had come forward. Finally the they had been waiting for came as I called out,“One,two,three. Open your presents!” As the children opened their packages,their faces beamed and their bright smiles up the room. The in the room was obvious,and wasn't just about toys. It was a feeling —the feeling I knew that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn't forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

His of how he survived is fascinating. His cleverness —how he to catch fish, how he evaporated (蒸发) sea water to fresh water—is very interesting.
But the thing that my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost, and there seemed no in continuing the struggle. He was starved and worn-out. Giving up would have seemed the only possible choice.
When people these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going. Many people in desperate circumstances in or go mad. Something the survivors do with their thoughts helps them find the courage to carry on difficulties.
“I tell myself I can it,” wrote Callahan in his book. “Compared to what others have been through, I’m fortunate. I tell myself these things over and over, up courage…”
I wrote that down after I read it. It me as something important. And I’ve told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed off or when my problems seemed too terrible. And every time I’ve said it, I have always come back to my .
The truth is, our circumstances are only bad to something better. But others have been through the much worse, that is, in comparison with what others have been through, you’re fortunate. Tell this to yourself over and over again, and it will help you through the rough situations with a little more courage.
