In 1982, Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank.He got into a life boat, but his supplies were 21 .His chances of surviving were small. 22 when three fishermen found him 76 days later, he was alive —much 23 than he was when he started, but alive.
His 24 of how he survived is fascinating.His cleverness —how he 25 to catch fish, how he evaporated(蒸发) sea water to 26 fresh water—is very interesting.
But the thing that 27 my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost, and there seemed no 28 in continuing the struggle.He was starved and 29 worn-out.Giving up would have seemed the only possible choice.
When people 30 these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going.Many people in 31 desperate circumstances 32 in or go mad.Something the survivors do with their thoughts helps them find the courage to carry on 33 difficulties.
"I tell myself I can 34 it," wrote Callahan in his book.-Compared to what others have been through, I'm fortunate.I tell myself these things over and over, 35 up courage..."
I wrote that down after 1 read it.It 36 me as something important.And I've told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed 37 off or when my problems seemed too terrible.And every time I've said it, I have always come back to my 38 .
The truth is, our circumstances are only bad 39 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 40 through the rough situations with a little more courage.

When responding to any adult, you must answer by saying “Yes ma’am” or “No, sir.” Just nodding your head is not acceptable.
Because I grew up in rural North Carolina, this rule comes 36 to me, and it seems the obvious choice to come first. If you want children to respect you, you have to let them know 37 . Simply telling them you want them to address you by saying “sir” lets them know 38 you expect them to treat you. I also tell my students it’s a very useful tool when 39 with adults, and furthermore it also 40 handy for any adult interacting with another adult. Case in point: I was 41 the phone recently with the phone company discussing the inaccuracies(差错) of my 42 . The lady I spoke to was not 43 and seemed annoyed. 44 , in the midst of the conversation, I threw in a “yes, ma’am,” and her entire 45 changed. She became far more helpful and 46 to deal with, and she 47 cutting my bill in half.
Some of my students in Harlem were to be 48 for a chance to attend a high-rated junior high school. The school only had thirty openings for the following year, and twelve of my students were 49 the many kids across the city who applied for the spots. I practiced what the interview would be 50 with my students, and one main thing I stressed was, “ 51 you say ‘yes ma’am’ or ‘no sir’ no matter what!” Weeks after the interviews, I was delighted to hear that all twelve of my students had been 52 . When I talked with the admissions director at the school, the main 53 he made over and over was how 54 my students were in their interviews. It seemed like just such a simple thing to do, but it gets 55 .

After handing in a poem, I waited for his 34 . It didn’t come. Instead one day as the students had gathered together, he 35 me , “Jim, I don’t think you wrote this poem.”
I stared at him in disbelief. “Why,” I started, 36 flooding me. “of course I did !” “Well, then,” he said, “you’ve got to prove it by getting up and reciting it from 37 .”
By then the other students had settled at their desks. With knees shaking, I walked up to the front. For a moment I stood there 38 Then I began, and kept going. I recited my poem all the way 39 !
Afterwards, Professor Crouch encouraged me to read other writers’ poetry before the public. I discovered I did have a(n) 40 and found my classmates actually looked forward to hearing me recite.
