During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), Emperor Taizong asked the prime minister Feng Deyi to recommend(推荐) talented people.

 1 , several months passed, Feng didn't recommend anyone. "I tried my best, but there are not unusual and 2 people at all, " Feng said.

"People are like utensils (器具). What we need to do is to make good use of their strengths. You cannot excuse yourself for not noticing talented people. How could you say that there are no talented people in our country?" said the emperor.

Indeed, each utensil or tool has its use. A knife is made to cut things while chopsticks are made to 3 food. We can't use a knife as a 4 . Like a utensil, each person has special strength. Nobody is perfect. We can't expect a person to be good at everything.

With this idea in 5 , Emperor Taizong discovered many talented people of different backgrounds. He 6 them important positions, which helped them make the best use of their talents. His talented people helped the society 7 and created a "golden age".

Some people say if a person is talented 8 , we should give them a chance. The same idea can be found in The Analects of Confucius (《论语》). Treating people as utensils shows that we can not only lead people well, but also allow different kinds of people to work well.

Today, the idea still makes 9 . If we become leaders someday, we should help others give full play to their strengths. 10 , Liu Bang let Zhang Liang and Xiao He work as advisors for their wisdom while inviting Han Xin to lead the army for his war strategies. Known as the "three heroes of the early Han Dynasty", they helped Liu build strong dynasty.

    I remember the first time I got on a horse. I was two years old and we were watching a friend of the family ride. My mom agreed to let me take a short ride around the ground with the friend and that was it' I became crazy about having a horse. From then on, I drove my parents mad beg­ging for a horse. Whenever I saw a horse, I would beg even harder.

    When I was four years old, problems appeared in my life. I had Selective Mutism (选择性缄默症). This is an unusual childhood disorder (失调) in which children stop speaking in certain social situations, many times at around the age of four. I spoke to my parents as usual, my brother and certain other people, but was silent at school and in social situations. I went days, weeks, months without a sound at school. At most, I might very quietly speak to a friend.

    My parents looked for a cure. One psychologist (心理医生) had an idea. Having discussed his plan with my parents in advance, one day I was asked by the psychologist what I wanted more than anything in the world. He explained that I was going to be given a chance to work for what I wanted. I couldn't believe my good luck, but I could not answer. I just stood there. Finally, I was allowed to whisper (低声说) the answer in my mother's ear. "A horse," was all I could say.

    I was to get a little horse, but before we could even start looking, I had to try to talk. I had a chart of weekly tasks I had to finish. I had to answer the phone five times every week, something I had never done before. I did everything that was asked of me and the day came when my parents found the perfect horse. His name was Sequoia, a strong little chestnut (栗子马). He was perfect, of course, and I fell in love immediately. It truly was a dream come true. When I was with Sequoia, I forgot all about my problems and felt strong and life.

    By connecting with them, I have learned to hug what I was once not able to do and I found my voice back.
