This is a part from US President Barack Obama’s speech on May 14 at Bamard College in New York.
… My last piece of advice – this is simple, but perhaps most important: 36. Nothing worthwhile is easy. No one of achievement has avoided failure – sometimes catastrophic failures. But they keep at it. They learn from mistakes. They don’t 37.
When I first arrived on this 38, I was with little money, fewer options. But it was here that I tried to find my place in this world. I knew I wanted to make a difference, but it was 39 how in fact I’d go about it. But I wanted to do my part to 40 a better world.
So even as I worked after graduation in a few 41 jobs here in New York, even as I went from motley (鱼龙混杂的)apartment to motley apartment, I 42.
… And I wish I could say that this perseverance came from some innate (天生的)toughness in me. But the truth is, it was 43. I got it from 44 the people who raised me. I grew up as the son of a single mom who struggled to put herself through 45 and make ends meet. She had a marriage that fell apart; 46 went on food stamps at one point to help us 47. But she didn’t quit. And she earned her degree, and made sure that 48 scholarships and hard work, my sister and I earned 49.
And 50, I met a woman who was assigned to advise me on my first summer job at a law firm. And she gave me such good advice that I married her. And Michelle and I gave everything we had to balance our careers and a 51 family. We made that marriage work.
… So 52 it’s starting a business, or running for office, or 53 an amazing family, remember that making your 54 on the world is hard. It takes patience. It takes commitment. It comes with plenty of 55 and it comes with plenty of failures.

Monty Roberts owns a horse ranch(牧马场) in San Ysidro. He told us his story. As a senior, he was asked to write a 36 about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.

That night he wrote a seven-page paper 37 his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great 38 and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the 39 of all the buildings.
He put his heart into the 40 and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that 41 , ‘See me after class.’
The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, ‘Why did I 42 an F?’
The teacher said, ‘This is an 43 dream for a young boy like you. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. There’s no 44 you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, ‘If you will 45 this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’”
The boy went home and 46 it. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to 47 your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very 48 decision for you.’
Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the 49 paper, making no changes at all. He stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my 50 .’
Monty now owned a 200-acre ranch. He had 51 his plan for a 4,000-square-foot house.
Two summers ago that same school teacher brought 30 kids to camp out on his ranch for a week. When leaving, he said 52 , ‘Look, Monty. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream 53 . During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. 54 , you had enough perseverance not to give up on yours.’”
Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. 55 your heart, no matter what.

I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13 . My parents took us there for camping. On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to EL Capitan, a 36 rock of 3,300 feet straight up. I touched that giant rock and knew 37 I wanted to climb it. That has been my life’s passion ever since— 38 the rocks and mountains of Yosemite. I’ve long made Yosemite my 39 .
About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of 40 , like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. It’s 41 me why visitors started respecting the place 42 and treated such a beautiful home-like place this way.
I tried 43 trash myself, but the job was too big. I would 44 an hour or two on the job, only to find the area trashed all over again weeks later. Finally, I got so 45 it that I decided something had to change.
As a rock-climbing guide, I knew 46 about organizing any big event. But in 2004, together with some climbers, I set a date for a 47 . On that day, more than 300 people 48 . Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of trash. It was amazing how much we were able to 49 . I couldn’t believe the 50 we made —the park looked clean!
Each year volunteers come for the cleanup from everywhere. In 2007 alone, 2,945 people picked up 42,330 pounds of trash and 51 132 miles of roadway.
I often hear people 52 about their surroundings. If you are one of them, I would say the only way to change things is by 53 rather than complaining. We need to teach by 54 . You can’t blame others 55 you start with yourself.
