    Years ago I was hiking (徒步旅行) in the Himalayas and had made the mistake of changing a large amount of money into the local currency(货币). As I walked through the villages of the Annapurnas, it soon became 1that the people were too poor to 2 even the simplest 3. They had nothing. This meant that it was no use carrying the wad(捆) of 4 in my pack and I was a virtual(虚拟的) walking 5 compared to the local people. I grew to 6 the money and it was 7 to have it in my bag. This led to a remarkable experience that 8 me deeply and its 9 has never left me.

    On this particular day I was left behind by my fellow hikers and found myself in a valley. As I made myself down, I noticed a young girl of around 13 10 some sheep. Like so many of the children of the amazing Nepalese people, she was very beautiful. I couldn't 11 looking at her and she looked at me. As I approached her she suddenly rushed 12 to me, and without a 13, handed me a flower. She 14 at me for a tiny moment and then she ran away. The spirit in this lovely child had responded to something she saw in me and her first 15 was to find something to 16 . Due to her 17 , there was nothing she had 18 a single flower. The 19 of my bag was never heavier than at this moment and I had just received one of the most valuable 20 I have ever had in my life.

    Returning from a trip overseas, I sensed that something was wrong between Keith, one of my two sons, and me. So I asked him, "Keith, have I done anything that really1your feelings?" Immediately, he said, "Yes. Last Christmas you promised us a special2 that we really wanted but you3gave it to us. The4was that I'd completely forgotten about it. I5, "Is there anything else I've done wrong, but I haven't apologized for?" Again, his6was immediate, "Remember last Christmas when Mom said you had to go to the7 because Kate, my little sister, was going to be born? You left us at home and8in a hurry. Remember?" "Well, you left and 9the suitcase." I couldn't believe he10all the details! "After you came back from the hospital, you were11to see the suitcase had been opened and12 had been thrown all over the place, and then you13 me."

    "And you didn't do it?" I asked. "No, I didn't. I was just searching for my gift." My heart sank. I felt14. I hugged Keith and asked him to15 me. His honesty made me think of my other son, Kevin. Maybe I'd hurt his feelings, too. I went to ask him the16question. Kevin answered as immediately as his17, "Last Christmas you18us a special toy, but you forgot about it."19 Christmas had passed, I took my two sons to the store that day and bought them what I had promised. The20thing wasn't the toy. The problem was I'd made a promise too lightly and didn't keep it as their father.

    It was 7 in the morning. I was on a train to another city when I started a(n)1with a young man sitting next to me. From what he said, I2that he came from a farming family and was now doing very well in the IT industry. He was3enough to give me a window seat, help a co-passenger when he dropped his coffee, etc. These small4showed what a good person he was!

    I was lost in reading a biography(自传) on Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold Schwarzenegger has played a huge role in my life5I haven't met him. Reading a6about him is great fun.

    Now my co-passenger7to see the book, so I handed it to him. Minutes passed into hours. From the train window, I8him reading the book carefully. Towards the end of the trip, I even saw him9everything about the book including the publishing house and code number. He turned to me and asked where he could buy this book.

    "You can10 it," I said. "This is the second time that I've read it anyway."

    I was lying! Actually it was last weekend that I bought it. I loved it so much and how I11to hold on to it myself! 12, when I thought of his kindness, I thought I should do something too. "Wow," the man said to me. "This is really13. Thank you so much."

    "No problem. Don't worry about it."

    I got off the train and walked into the new city with a sense of14. I did not regret giving the book to him as I believed15each other is really a good thing.

    Years ago, when I was working as psychologist at a children's institution in England, a boy showed up in the waiting room. It was David.

    David's face was pale, and he started at his feet 1. He had lost his father as a baby and when David turned 13, his mother was killed in a car accident. He was very depressed, 2to talk to others.

    The first two times we met, David didn't say a word. As he was about to leave after the second visit, I put my hand on his shoulder. He didn't shrink back, 3he didn't look at me either.

    "Come back next week," I 4 a bit. Then I said, "I know it hurts."

    He came, and I 5 we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoon in complete6 and without making any eye 7. It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit that I made sure David 8 once or twice.

    It seemed as if he enjoyed my 9, though he never looked at me. Perhaps he 10 that I respected his suffering. Until some months later, suddenly, he looked up at me, "It's your11," he said. After that day, David started 12. Since then he really started to live his own life.

    Maybe I gave David 13. And David showed me how one – without any words – can 14 out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a 15to cry on, a friendly touch, a sympathetic nature and an ear that listens.

    I learned a valuable lesson from my 13-year-old son last week. We were hiking in the woods on our very hilly, rocky farm. He stopped near a cliff (悬崖) and started1some rather large stones towards the edge, seeing how2he could break them into pieces on a large rock lying at the3. I got tired of4him do this after about 20 minutes and suggest that we5on. He refused and kept on his constant picking,6and throwing stones.

    Finally after some time I said, “Do you7that you have been-picking up stones for more than half an hour? This is just the8task as Dad asks you to do every weekend to help9the fields. But you always do it for no more than two minutes, and then find a( n)10to quit." His reply was, "But this is11!"

    This hit me like a rock. How many tasks that we are tired of can be12something fun? I know this sounds like a13because sometimes things are just not fun at all.14, with some creative thinking, I bet there are15. For example, you can try turning on some pleasant music and then dancing16the vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器), or you can write a secret message in the dust on your dresser and erase it when you clean it.

    For17, organizing competitions for your employees can create some fun and increase18. If you19a business yourself, you can compete just with yourself. Simply set your goals and choose a(n)20for your completion. The idea is to make achieving goals fun. So, make your work fun and get it done.
