My friend Monty Roberts told me a story about a young boy. One day at school, the boy was asked to write a paper 36what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
That night he wrote a seven – paper 37his dream of owning a farm. He put a great deal of his 38into the paper and the next day he handed it in to his 39. Two days later he received his paper back. On the 40page was a large red F with a 41that read, “See me after class.” The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, “ 42did I receive an F?” The teacher said, “This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like 43.

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. In fact, she 16everyone, except her loving boyfriend who was 17there for her. She used to tell her boyfriend, “If I could only see the 18, I would marry you.”
One day, someone donated (捐赠) a pair of 19to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, 20her boyfriend for the first time. He asked her, “ 21 you can see the world, will you 22me?” The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was 23. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn’t 24that. The thought of looking at them for the rest of her life led her to 25to marry him.
Her boyfriend left 26and a few days later wrote a note to her, 27: “Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for 28they are yours, they were mine.”

Before you complain about your old house, think of the people who are 34in the streets. And when you are tired and complain about your job, think of the 35. So enjoy what you have and don’t forget your past.
