Dear Friend,
The recent success of children's books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there.
And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children's books bought each year ... plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.
Who are these needed writers? They're ordinary folks like you and me.
But am I good enough?
I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.
Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude(潜能), and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.
The promise that paid off
The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:
You will complete at least one manuscript(手稿) suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.
I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.
Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles.
Free test and brochure
We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.
Realize your writing dream today. There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.
Sincerely,

Kristi Holly, Instructor
Institute of Children's Literature

A group of class friends, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon          into complaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the          and returned with a large pot of coffee and a couple of          — porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some          looking, some expensive, some delicate — telling them to         themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in         , the professor said: “If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up,          behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is          for you to choose only the best for yourselves, that is the          of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself          no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.          all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went          the best cups. And then you began               each other’s cups. Now consider this: Life is the        ; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define nor         the quality of life we         . Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we          to enjoy the coffee God has          for us. God brews the coffee, not the cups…Enjoy your coffee!”
The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just          the best of everything.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the          to God.

The person I admire most is not famous at all, yet in my mind his achievements are as important as those of any historical figure. Gary is a fellow classmate of mine at college, and for him this is a major      .
We know that Gary suffers from a      , which makes it almost impossible for him to      his movements. As a result, he will       his life in a wheelchair. He cannot write with a pen or a pencil, and speaks so slowly and strangely that it takes      to understand what he is saying.
However, behind his       appearance, Gary is a warm, fun-loving, intelligent person. His disability affects his muscles, not his mind or      . He enjoys the same things as any student does—listening to music, making      and so on—and he is not only the best student in our class, but also has a       sense of humor and genuine interest in other people.
The main      why I admire him so much is that he is determined to lead a       life, in spite of his physical difficulties he has to overcome. Although his       prevents him from going to school, he gives himself an education by studying at home. Being unable to      himself, he uses a special typewriter to write letters to his friends and beautiful poems which      the true depth of his thoughts and character. Another reason why I admire Gary is that he never feels sorry for himself. He says, for instance, that being unable to move around       gives him more time to think. In fact, he always      to see the bright side of any situation, so instead of needing his friends to       him, he actually cheers us up when we are       or depressed.
I would admire Gary       he didn’t have any disability; in fact he does, and      to let it spoil his life, which makes him the most remarkable person I have known.

Mark Twain said that “habit is habit, and not to be flung(扔) out the window by anyone, but coaxed (劝诱)downstairs a step at a time.” The chances of successfully changing negative behavior        when you make gradual changes that give you time to        negative patterns for positive ones.
On any given day, countless numbers of us get out of bed and        to begin to change a given behavior “today.” Whether it be exercising more, drinking less, managing time        or some other change in a negative behavior, we start out with high       . In a short time, however, a vast majority of people fail and are soon doing        it was they thought they shouldn't be doing.
After considerable research, some researchers believe that behavior changes usually do not        if they start with the change itself.       , they believe that we must        a series of “stages” to adequately prepare ourselves for that        change. Once you have analyzed all the factors that        what you do, you must decide which behavior-change technique will work best for you.
According to the psychologist Albert Ellis, most        problems and related behaviors arise from irrational (不理性的) statements that people make to        when events in their lives are different from what they would like them to be. For example, suppose alter doing        on an exam, you say to yourself, “I can't believe I failed that easy exam, I’m so stupid.” By changing this irrational “catastrophic” self-talk into rational,        statements about what is really going on, you can increase the        that positive behaviors will occur.
Positive self-talk might be        as follows: “I really didn’t study enough for the exam. I just need to prepare for the next       .”
Such self-talk will help you to recover quickly from        and take positive steps to correct the situation. Some other technique like purposefully        or stopping negative thoughts and refusing to dwell on(沉湎于) negative images can also spare you wasted energy, time and emotional resources and move on to positive changes.

Now you’re a fool for helping. “I don’t want to get involved” seems to have become a national motto. One summer I was driving from my hometown of Tahoe City, California to New Orleans, Louisiana. In the middle of the desert, I passed a young man standing by the roadside. He had his    out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. There was a time    you’d be called a jerk (混蛋) for passing by somebody     .
Several days later I was still    about the hitchhiker (搭便车的人), about how I didn’t even lift my foot    the accelerator (加速踏板) for him. “Does anyone stop any more?” I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois’s famous line—”I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.” Was that    these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey    the US without any money, just    on the good will of others. What would happen? Would he find food, shelter and support?
The idea intrigued (激起兴趣) me.
The week I    37, I realized that I had never done something truly crazy.    I decided to really do it: travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. I would only accept    of rides, food and places to sleep. For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states. I was treated kindly    I went. I was    by people’s readiness to help a stranger.
In Oregon, a house painter named Mike    the cold weather and asked if I had a coat. I didn’t, so he gave me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker in Michigan named Tim invited me to a    dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me a tent. I refused, but Tim insisted, packing it into my bag himself. I found people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people bought me food or    with them whatever they happened to have. Those who had the    to give often gave the most.
I’m    to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter and their gifts. My faith in ordinary folks was    . I was proud to live in a country where people were still willing to help. In spite of everything, you can still depend on the    of strangers.

Children find meanings in their old family tales.  
When Stephen Guyer’s three children were growing up, he told them stories about how his grandfather, a banker,        all in the 1930s, but did not lose sight of what he valued most. In one of the darkest times when his strong-minded grandfather was nearly         , he loaded his family into the car and          them to see family members in Canada with a         , “There are more important things in life than money.”
The          took on a new meaning recently when Mr. Guyer downsized to a          house from a more expensive and comfortable one. He was          that his children, a daughter, 15, and twins, 22, would be upset. To his surprise, they weren’t. Instead, their reaction echoed (重复) their great-grandfather’s. What they          about was how warm the people were in the house and how much of their heart was accessible.
Many parents are finding family stories have surprising power to help children through           times. Storytelling experts say the phenomenon (现象) reflects a growing         in telling tales, evidenced (证明) by a rise in storytelling events and festivals.
A university          of 65 families with children aged from 14 to 16 found kids’ ability to          parents’ stories was linked to a lower rate of anger and anxiety.
The          is telling the stories in a way children can hear. We’re not talking here about the kind of story that         , “When I was a kid, I walked to school every day uphill both ways, barefoot in the snow.” Instead, we should choose a story suited (适合) to the child’s         , and make eye contact to create “a personal experience”. We don’t have to tell children what they should take from the story and what the moral is.
