Once, it was in the middle of a personal development workshop. One of the people present stood up and began 36 out diamond rings to each of the one hundred people in the room.
He was a 37 jeweler, he said, and he had made these expensive 38 as gifts to open people’s eyes to the abundance(富裕) of life.
On his fifth birthday, the man 39 , his uncle had taken him to a candy (糖果) 40 and told him that he could take 41 he wanted, and as much as he wanted. 42 he was very pleased and decided to 43 something he liked best.
The entire store was 44 to him. He had looked at the jars and plates, and he hadn’t known where to 45 . At last, he filled a bag with all his 46 candies. He didn’t take everything, 47 that feeling of being able to have whatever he wanted seemed to make him very 48 .
Since then, he said, he had been able to 49 the abundance of life. He saw the world as full of 50 , riches and beauty — all you had to do was, take your pick and fill your bag.
The sad truth is that most of us grow up with the 51 feeling —we develop a poverty mentality(贫穷心理). We 52 believe that there simply isn’t enough. We think we have to 53 , fight and struggle, so that we can get what we need and want. If we can’t 54 our hands to get, someone else will be searching through our pockets. The 55 of that mentality is that we all have to go hungry.
Get a taste of abundance and try to have a great life.

I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be 36 Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought, “What would I say when the other kids asked what I’d 37 ?” Just when I started to 38 that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women 39 at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll, I felt such a sense of 40 that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn’t 41 . Somebody had thought 42 of me to bring me a gift.
Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my 43 Christmas there special and memorable, I 44 remembered the women’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of 45 for as many children as I could possibly reach.
So I 46 a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿) at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school suppliers, 47 with a child’s name. We wanted all of them to know they were48 . Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I 49 them that they couldn’t open their presents 50 every child had come forward. Finally the 51 they had been waiting for came as I called out, “One, two, three. Open your presents!” As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles 52 up the room. The 53 in the room was obvious, and 54 wasn’t just about toys. It was a feeling –the feeling I knew 55 that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn’t forgotten.

When Carol was diagnosed, her cancer had 21 to her bones. We calmly talked about what to expect. I reviewed choices for 22 and printed out new research. But 23 , I cried and struggled. Only half the patients are alive two years after diagnosis.
Carol began treatment afterwards. She felt almost 24 and went right back to work. Carol hates the idea of being 25 as a “sick” person. She likes her life 26 . Last winter, Carol suddenly found 27 difficult to swallow. She slept a lot and was slow to wake in the morning. There was continuous pressure in her chest and 28 I saw her looking thoughtful. One day, she told me, “I think I 29 never leave the hospital,” she continued, “I just want to enjoy the little things--- 30 is out of the window.” We had never spoken of that before. 31 we began an African safari, a trip she had dreamed of for years.
Morning and afternoon, we went diving and rolled into the clear water 32 down like peas in honey. In the evenings, we spent time on the pier, watching the sun set. One of the young couples on the island wondered if we were sisters. We laughed. “Friends for 34 years,” I said. I could see by their 33 that they didn’t really understand that kind of time. We have been friends 34 than they have been alive.
35 dives, we talked about where to go next. I made lists 36 she slept. Our plans were now more theoretical, and the big trip to the South Pacific one day seemed a long way off. Cancer has become part of our 37 . We are well aware that our bodies are temporary gifts. Not knowing what comes next means 38 is possible. Perhaps I will be hit by a truck, or my heart will stop. Life is 39 .
We took our last dive of the trip. When we reached the deep blue water, we spread our arm out like wings and pretended to 40 .
