Some years ago I worked with people on public welfare. I believed that everybody had the ability to be 　26 and all we have to do was to make them start working.

The first thing I said to them was, "I would like to know what your 　 27 are." Everyone looked at me as if I were 28 . One woman said "I don't know what you can 　29 with dreams. The rats are eating up my kids." I said. "That's terrible. You are very much 　30 with the rats and your kids. How can we help?" " I could use a new screen door（纱门）because there are 31 in the old." I asked, "Is there anybody knowing 32 to fix it?" A man said, "Long ago I used to do things like that but now I have a bad back, but I'll 33 ." I gave him some money to do that.

　 The next week, when the group was 34, I asked the woman, "Well, is your 35 door fixed?" "Oh, yes," she said. "Then we can start dreaming, right?" She 36 at me. I asked the man, "How do you feel?" He said, "Well, it's funny that I'm beginning to feel a lot　 37 ." These seemingly small 　38 allowed the group to see that dreams were not stupid. One woman 　39 that she wanted to be a secretary. I said, " What 40 in your way?" She answered, "I have six kids, and no one can 41 them while I'm away." I asked "Who would help this woman while she gets some 　42 at school?" Another woman said "I got kids, too, but I could do that." So the woman went to school.

In 12 weeks these people were 43 public welfare. The woman who 44 the children became a licensed foster care (代别人照看孩子)person. The man became a handyman. I've not only done that 　45 , I've done it many times.
