Learning values and character at home is as important as any schoolwork. We all hope that the very values 　36　 are important to each of us are　37　 along to our children. Often, 　38　, that hope is challenged by a great many of pop culture messages, peer pressure (同伴压力), and overscheduled lives.
In the real world of jobs and career, people are　39　 by two standards: Their professional skills and their 　40　 abilities. 　41　 grade school, high school, and college can teach skills and proficiency, it’s 　42　 parents to teach children the characters that make for　43　 in the real world—a cooperative attitude, 　44　, optimism and honesty. So take the work 　45　. Send your kids into the world ready to 　46　 not only the tasks of life but its difficulties with character.
You really can’t start soon enough. 　47　, children need personal integrity (个人操守) and morals as much as any adult. 　48　 the 5 to 10 most important messages you want your children to truly understand. Then think through 　49　 to teach these lessons. Talking to your kids should be only 　50　 of the plan. Letting them 　51　 honesty in action—through your own behaviour, by　52　 films about great people together, or even by visiting a courtroom—is the 　53　 way to pass the message.
By identifying the specific 　54　 you would like to see in your children, you’re more likely to 　55　  those characters. So make a point of it.

One spring afternoon five years ago, Jimmy Liao was crying in the hall of Taipei’s Sherwood Hotel, Life seemed  36  . The people who laughed as they walked past were taking their   37  for granted, just as he  38  himself. Now, however, he felt  39  —and he couldn’t even show his disappointment in his  40  .
Seeking more personally satisfying  41  , he had just left a successful job as a commercial artist when it seemed that fate（命运）played a cruel  42  on him.
