My mom is a teacher.She finds a lesson in everything.I was watching Sesame Street by my second birthday so I’d 16 my ABCs and 123s.Our weekly family trips to the library began when I was three.And my mom had me spotting (认出) the historical markers with childlike 17 on family vacations by the time I was six.For her, life was all about learning.But the biggest lesson she 18 me was never to let my 19 define who I am, and never forget what is 20 in life.

Every night before I go to bed, I 33 my mom for everything, for all the great help she’s given me.And 34 I get older, I know that “Thanks, Mom” is about so much more than the physical assistance.And that’s 35 matters the most.

It was the end of my first day as waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had gone away, and my feet 26 . The loaded plates I carried 27 to be heavier and heavier. Tired and discouraged, I didn’t seem able to do anything 28 . As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice cream 29 a dozen times, I was ready to stop.

I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I’d like my first day, I said, “ 33 ! Those few words of praise had 34 everything. Praise is like 35 to the human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. And 36 , while most of us are only too 37 to apply to others the cold wind of criticism (批评), we are 38 to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Why so when one word of praise can bring such 39 ?”

An artist gets admiration for a wonderful picture, a cook for a 43 meal. But do you ever tell your laundry manager how pleased you are when the shirts are 44 just right? In fact, to give praise 45 one nothing but a moment’s thought and moment’s effort.
