Small moments sometimes last a very long time. And a few words—though they mean    1   at the time to the people who say them—can have great power.

    I recently heard a story from Malcolm Dalkoff, who has been a professional   2 for the last twenty-four years, mostly in advertising.

    As a boy, Dalkoff was terribly shy and     3   . He had few friends and no self-confidence. Then one day, his high-school English teacher, Ruth Brauch, asked the class to write their own chapter that would    4     the last chapter of the novel since they had been reading To Kill a Mockingbird. Dalkoff wrote his chapter and turned it in. Today he cannot recall anything special about the chapter he wrote, or what    5   Mrs. Brauch gave him.   6    , what he does remember is the four words in the paper: “This is good writing.” Four words. They 7   his life.

    “Until I read those words, I had no idea of who I was or what I was or what I was going to be,” he said, “After reading her    8    ,I went home and wrote a short story,    9   I had always dreamed of doing but never believed I could do.”

     Over the rest of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to Mrs. Brauch for instruction. “She was   10   , helping and honest. She was just what I needed,” Dalkoff said.
