There is a small shop about 200 meters from where I live that sells groceries, meat and other basic necessities. About 10 yearsa ago, there was a beggar who would go into the shop every day and ask the owner for a 　1 . The owner, 2 he would love to help, simply didn’t have any jobs availabe, so he kept 　3 the man’s office.

This situation continued 　4 for a few months, until the owner 　5 to give the homeless man a job which 　6 sweeping outside the shop. Every single day form 5 a.m, the homeless man was there doing the very 　7 he could for the 　8 , making it the community’s favourite, even though it did earn him pennies. 9 , the owner saw how good a job the man was doing and gave him a job working 　10 a cashier(收银员). He was watched closely to make sure that he didn’t 　11 any of the money received from the sales. He was still homeless, after all. The homeless man did a/an 　12 job as a cashier for over 2 years, and did such a good job that he was promoted to 　13 the finances for the whole shop.

To my 　14 , this was the arrangements up until 2 years ago, when the owner 　15 . In his will, he only had one 　16 , to give the whole shop to the now stable, “homeless” man. Now, I could walk into that shop and see him working as hard as 　17 , with his own business that is still 　18 and active 10 years after getting his job as a sweeper.

From this story, we can probably get the inspiration: work hard and give everything your best effort, even if it isn’t your 　19 situation, it very well may turn out to 　20 some day in the future.

“So teach him to close the door”, my daughter Emma responded after listening to me 　36 , again, about the dog coming in from the back door, bringing with him a blast of Buffalo January 　37 air．

Teach a dog to close a door behind him? That has got to be a really, really 　38 　thing to do．But then she took it a step 　39 ．“Come on, Kolby”, she said, grabbing some treats（犒劳物）and 　40 him in front of the open door．“Touch．” And “touch” he did, which moved the door to a 　41 position．She 42　 him with a treat, smiled, looked at me, and said “see!” And I saw and became 　43 ．Over the last few days I have been with Kolby．Each time he comes in I bring him back to the 　44 door and ask him to close．There have been 　45 in the beginning, but lately more and more successes．

However, there remains much work to be done．I have to get him to follow my hand signal again and again 46 he will close the door from a distance．But, I now realize, as long as you keep to the focus , the 　47 will be completed, and, with the way things are　 48　 , completed quickly．

What a 49　 treat to have a dog that can close the door after himself! Even more wonder can be found in the 50 I learned so clearly from both Emma and Kolby．

A wish is just a wish until you decide to take 51 ．Once you 　52 the belief that it is “too hard”, then it remains “too hard ” and out of 53 ．Once you want to accomplish a goal, and 54 that it is “easy”, then it becomes “easy” to do what needs to be done．Just 　55 doing it．
