The night of graduation, I was afraid. Two hundred people were sitting out there. I felt tense and I wanted to run away, 36 I couldn’t! After all, my own children were sitting in front of me with many other persons. I couldn’t be a coward(懦夫) before 37 .
When I ended the speech, I was 38 at the cheering. And I never forget the first time I received the cheering in my life.
Flowers arrived 39 my brothers and sister. My husband gave me silk roses. The reporters came with 40 and recorders and lots of questions. There were tears and hugs and congratulations.
Sometimes, I sit down and 41 the tape of my gaduation speech. I hear myself say to the audience, “Don’t’ give up your 42 in life. Anything can happen if you believe. It means hard work, but 43 sure that you can do it, with God’s help.”
And then, I remember mother’s 44 to me , a young girl: “Hurry, Gin, you’ll be late for school.”
Yes, Mom, I was late 45 school, but it was sweeter for waiting. I only wish you and Dad could have been there to see your daughter and granddaughter in all their show and speech.

The Man Who Achieved Everything He Could
Once upon a time, there lived a man who wanted to achieve everything he was capable of achieving. He was obsessed with this desire --- he ate, slept, and walked with one and only dream: to die, having accomplished every single thing he was able to accomplish.
There were so many things he could do. He felt like the whole world could be his, 36 he set his mind to it.
He knew that his 37 had no limits. He knew that he could accumulate 38 that would dwarf (使相形见绌) that of ancient kings; he knew that he could 39 books that would shake the minds of generations; he knew that he could 40 things that would forever change the lives of millions of people. He lived, constantly feeling the power within --- and that power knew no bounds.
There was only one problem: having such a potential, but only one 41, he had to make a choice. He had to decide where to 42 all of his ability. Making that decision was extremely hard, for any 43 meant cutting off some future achievements. In the meantime, he went to school, graduated, found a job, married, and 44 children. And he spent every minute of his spare time trying to decide 45 he should bring his potential into full play.
Time went by, and he grew 46. Some roads he used to dream about became closed to him. But there was still so much he could accomplish.
One day, a sudden chest pain made him come home early. He dragged his feet to the bathroom. There, feeling 47, he looked in the mirror. A worn-out, gray-haired man stared back at him. He looked 48 into these eyes and, all of a sudden, 49 one simple truth. The next moment, the pain came again, and his heart stopped 50 forever.
The truth that came upon him was rather simple: People only flatter themselves (自以为是，自鸣得意) by thinking that they could have 51 this or that if not for such-and-such circumstances. Yet this is nothing but 52 . You simply lack something that is 53 for achieving that goal you’ve never reached — a talent, a skill, willpower,54 something else. In fact,55 you don’t achieve is something you’re not capable of achieving.
