Monty Roberts, owner of a horse ranch (牧场) in San Ysidro, once told us a story. “When a young man was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to __ 36__ and do when he grew up. In his seven-page paper he described his __37__ of someday owning a horse ranch. He drew a __ 38__ floor plan（平面图）for a 4,000-square-foot house that would __ 39__ on a 200-acre dream ranch. Two days later he received his__40__back. On the front page was a __41__red F. The teacher said, “This is an __42__dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. ” Then the teacher__43 __, “If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your __44__.” The boy asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own__45__on this. However, I think it is a very__46__decision for you.” __47__, after a week, the boy__48__the same paper, making no__49__at all. He stated, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my __50__.”
Monty then turned to us and said, “I tell you this story__51__you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed (装框) over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the __52__is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said, “Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was __53__of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. __54__you had enough determination not to give up on yours.”
Don’t let anyone__55__ your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.

When I took the first exam, I was 38 to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper, 39English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained_ 40.
I decided to try harder, although I didn’t know what that 41because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I 42with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn’t change his 43.
One more test before the final exam. One more 44to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time. 45The meaning of the word “thorough”. But my 46__ did no good and everything 47as before.
The last hurdle(障碍) was the final. No matter what 48I got, it wouldn’t cancel three C-pluses. I might as well kiss the 49goodbye.
I stopped working head. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even 50myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I’d have 51__with a test.
A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into professor Jayne’s office. He 52__ to be expecting me. “If I gave you the As you 53, you wouldn’t continue to work as hard.”
I stared at him. 54That his analysis and strategy(策略) were correct. I had worked my head 55, as I had never done before.

There is an old proverb, __36__ that the tongue has the power of life and death and __37__ loves it will eat its fruit.
It is true. What we say has the ability to __38__ emotions, and thoughts in others. A kind word helps people, and __39__ words hurt people —— sometimes for a very long time.
Most of the time we __40__ this concept in relation to how we treat others and that is good. __41__ here I want to talk about this concept in relation to ourselves. How does __42__ we say affect us greatly? There is a simple principle here. Only say things that will create in you__43__ emotions, thoughts, feelings, and finally, actions. Let me give you a good __44__. We should not allow the words “I can’t” in our __45__. Why? Because we CAN! The very minimum（最低限度） is “I’ll try”.
Have you ever been about to __46__ the soccer ball towards the goal and said to yourself, “I am going to fail this one?” What happens? You fail it. This actually __47__ to me. So what do I do? I pause for a（n） __48__, reset myself, and tell myself I am going to kick it straight down. What happens? About half the time I kick it straightly, and the other half, I __49__ it. But at the very least I increase my __50__ of performing better. Bad thoughts almost guarantee failure, __51__ good thoughts increase success.
Some of us aren’t even __52__ that we talk negatively to ourselves. Take __53__some time today to think about what you say to yourself. If you find yourself saying negative things, it is a time to change! Find some simple phrases that will help you __54__ the day with more success. Whatever your situation or work is, I am sure there are specific things you can say that will build you up and put you on the road __55__to success!
