Teaching my first child, Danae, to share her toys was the biggest challenge. To 36 this, we started inviting other children to play, which could help Danae discover that it’s 37 to share with others – a lesson I needed to 38 myself as well, as it 39 .
One evening Danac had 40 a friend, Natalie, to play with her. Their favorite was a children’s 41 game called Go Fish. That evening, 42 Natalie left, Danae came to me and said, “Mommy, I’d like to give these to Natalie tomorrow. They’re her favorites.”
She help up three cards from the Go Fish game. I tried to 43 that I didn’t want her to give them away because then our 44 wouldn’t be complete. “But I really want her to have them!” Danae 45 . I thought perhaps she didn’t understand that when she gave something away, it was gone 46 . So I tried again, saying, “ 47 you give the cards to her, you can’t 48 them back tomorrow.”
A look of 49 came over Danae’s face. For a moment I was happy that she seemed to 50 . But then she smiled and said. “Well, that’s okay, I want her to have them anyway.”
What could I say to that? I sat 51 for a moment and then I realized I had been trying for so long to 52 her to share. Did it 53 that our Go Fish set would be 54 ? What mattered was that my daughter was learning the 55 of giving, that she was thinking about others instead of herself, and that she was trying to make her friends happy. Isn’t that what life is all about?

At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together.38 his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his39 company learned from its mistake.

The child may have a hard time, but that is all right. This is ___49___the most important character of creative people is a very strong___50to find a way out of trouble.
