A water carrier had a cracked pot so water in it leaked out .But he could see the good and make use the crack to water flowers along the road.
What the water carrier said (impress) me. No one in the world is perfect. We should learn to seethe good in others
(tell) them they are extraordinary.
The lovely cracked pot reminds me of my desk-mate , I always helped with maths. One day, she told me she was sorry for wasting so much of my time. I was
(shock) at her words. As a matter of fact, it was her diligence that pushed us
(work) together. It was her who let me know that whether we could
(success) achieve our goal didn't depend on how clever we were
how much we desired and how long we could insist on. To be frank, what I taught her were only some maths problems but what she taught me was a
(mean) lesson of life.
So in my opinion, everyone must have many virtues. Take a moment to observe good in others and tell them. It is a simple but very powerful way to light up the whole world.
