As a child, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm. by miles of winding stone walls, the house provided endless hours of for a city kid.
I can still remember one afternoon I was eight years old. I’d wanted more than anything to be to climb the walls surrounding the farm. The walls were old; some stones were , others loose. Still, my yearning（向往）to climb across those walls so strong that finally, one spring afternoon, I took all my and entered the living room, where the had gathered after Sunday dinner.
“I, I want to climb the stone walls,” I said. a chorus(异口同声) went up from the women in the room. “Heavens, no!” they cried, “You’ll hurt yourself!” I wasn’t too ; the was just as I’d expected. Just I could leave the room, I was stopped by my grandfather’s loud voice. “Now wait a minute.” I heard him say, “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things .”
For the next two hours I climbed those old walls and had the time of my life. Later I told my grandfather about my . I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred,” he said, smiling, “you made this day a (an) day just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you as you are.”
Many years have passed then, and today I’m a host in the television program “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood”, seen by millions of children.
There have been over the years, but one thing the same: my suggestion left to children at the end of almost every program. “There’s only one person in this whole world like you,” The kids can hear me say, “and people would like you exactly as you are.”

About ten years ago when I was an undergraduate in college, I was working as an intern（实习生） at my University’s Museum of Natural History. One day while working at the cash register in the gift shop, I saw an old couple come in with a little girl a wheelchair.
As I looked closer at this girl, I saw that she was almost on her chair. I then she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and body. She was wearing a little white dress with red dots. As the couple her up to me I was looking down at the register. I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink（眨眼）. As I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the cutest, largest smile I have ever seen.
All of a sudden her was gone and all I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile just me and almost instantly gave me a completely new of what life is all about. She took me from a poor, unhappy college student and brought me into her world: a world of , love and .
That was ten years ago. I’m a successful business person now and I get down and think about the troubles of the world, I think about that little girl and the remarkable（非凡的）lesson about life that she me.

When you smile, not only do you feel happy, but you also bring a ray of light into the lives of . Someone once said, “ A smile is a curve (弧线) that sets everything straight, by your face value.” Know that a smile is a little thing that can produce results. What it takes is a smile to make short work of many difficulties, for just being happy helps others along. I’ve often a smile as the touch of God given to His people.
A day a smile is to waste a day. Some people grin (咧嘴笑) and bear it, while others smile and change the world. Don’t you the feelings of a returned smile? It can move into the and release good into the world. It can make friends with strangers. It can bring friends closer together. It can bridge the generation gap. It can the heart with love.

My son Tom taught me a beautiful lesson today. He is three years old and it is amazing watching him grow up.
He called out to me today saying“Papa, sit.” That usually means everything and going next to him and sitting down to play with him. I did that, as he can be stubborn and will not stop calling out until I . He was playing with beads (珠子) , pushing a string through them. Then after he finished playing with the beads, it was time to put back in the box that they are stored in. I saw him pick up each bead, look at it as if it were made of chocolate and then placed it into its box.
With over a hundred beads to go, I was getting . “ What a long time it will take ! Why cannot he grab ten beads in one go and drop them in?” said my anxious mind. I noticed that he did this with as much as he had while we were playing. I didn’t see any difference between his play and his the toy. Obviously he enjoyed both.
Then it suddenly me that this boy was enjoying the whole .The journey was his goal. For him the was in the game and after the game, not just in the fun part. What a great perspective to live each moment as it is the moment; to do each task as it is the most awesome task. Nothing else matters.
Looking at how my son was putting beads into the box me that the process was the goal.
