My senior year of high school was very busy. If I wasn't studying or worrying about1, I was taking part in many activities after class or attempting to make my plans for2.

    As the senior year began to slow down, I got a3job working at a local coffee shop. I had expected that the job would be 4, but there are5 when I was angry at the human race as a whole, simply because I couldn't seem to 6anyone. There was always too much sugar, too little ice, or not enough milk. However, I7 working at this coffee shop.

    One day, one of my 8 customers came in, looking depressed and defeated. I asked what the 9 was and if I could help, but the customer wouldn't say any details. He just said that he felt like lying on the bed, 10 the sheets up over his head, and staying there for a few years. I knew exactly11 he felt. Before he left, I handed him a bag with his coffee. He looked at me 12 because he hadn't ordered anything but the coffee. He opened the bag and saw that I had given him his favorite cookies. “It's on me.” I told him.

    The next day that customer came again. 13ordering anything, he 14 me a pink rose and a thank-you note saying that not too many people took the time to care about15 and that he was 16 there were still people like me in the world.

    As time went on, I came across many 17customers. But anytime I felt 18, I thought of that little 19. Then I would smile, hold my head up high, clear my20 and ask politely, “How can I help you?”

    From the first week of high school,my best friend,Trisha,was always going out with the popular girls.1I thought,“It's okay;she's just making new friends.”But soon I realized that Trisha wasn't interested in me anymore.I'd 2my best friend.It really hurt.

    One day,I told Trisha that we should3pretending（假装）to be friends when we really weren't anymore.I wasn't trying to make her mad,4she was.After that,Trisha started talking about me behind my back,telling people that I was5.Some of our friends6with her.I felt like she was taking them away from me.

    The more I thought about it,the7I got.Finally,I8a picture of Trisha and drew lines on her face.I wrote,“I 9this person”across the bottom.And then I did something I'll always10: I put it on a website I thought was11. I thought people would see it,and it felt good to vent（发泄）.

    A week later,Trisha's mom saw the12.She called my mom,who made me take it off the website right away. However,it was already too13.Lots of people had seen it,and I was in a lot of14.

    That whole day,I felt15.I had to say sorry to Trisha face to face.She said she accepted my apology（道歉）,but I felt she was16angry with me.

    Posting that picture was one of the worst17I've ever made.I realize now I could have found a much better way to deal with my18.If I'd just told Trisha how much I19her,maybe things would have turned out20.It's too late for me to change things,but I hope you'll learn from my mistake.

    I've been taking a bus to school for years. I found that most passengers keep to themselves and no one ever has a 1 with anyone else.

    About a year ago, an elderly man entered and said 2 to the driver, “Good morning!” Most people looked up, confused and 3, and the bus driver took it for granted and 4responded with a grunt (哼声). The next day the man 5 and again he said in a loud voice, “Good morning!” to the driver. Another grunt. By the fifth day, the driver finally agreed to accept the elderly man and 6 him with a little cheerful “Good morning!” Then the man 7,“My name is Benny.” The driver told the man he was Ralph.

    That was the first 8 any of us heard the driver's name and soon people began to talk to each other and say9 to Ralph and Benny. Soon Benny10 his cheerful “Good morning!” to the whole bus. Within a few days, his “Good morning!” was11 by a whole bunch of “Good mornings” and the entire bus seemed to be more 12. People got to know each other.

    “If a 13 is someone who makes something happen, Benny was the one who took a lead in showing friendship 14 us,” I thought.

    A month ago, something 15 happened and Benny didn't 16 in the bus. Everyone began to 17 about Benny and lots of people said he may have passed away. No one knew what to do and the bus got 18 again. So last week, I started to act like Benny and say, “Good morning!” to everyone and the whole bus cheered up again. I guessed I was the leader now. 19 Benny could come back to see what he had started really 20 a lot.

    I truly feel that my mother led me here, to Morzaine, and to my future as happy wife and business woman. When Mum 1 in October 2007, I was a cook. In December that year, while I was working for a wedding, a pearl necklace Mum had left me 2. I was distraught（忧心如焚的）. Some days later, I was 3 that a guy who was working with us that day could probably have made a fortune 4 the necklace he found. 5, he returned it. Hearing how I'd 6 Mum for six months before her death, he said, "Christmas is going to be 7 —why not go out to the Alps for a couple of weeks?"

    I come to Morzaine, a small, friendly village in the Alps and 8 fell in love with it .What was 9 to be a stopgap (权宜之计) trip 10 a new life .I kept travelling between London and here and felt 11 than I had in months. In December 2008, I was 12 as a hotel manager and moved here full time.

    A month later, I met Paul, who was traveling here. We fell in love. In the beginning, I didn't want to discuss marriage, because the sadness of losing Mum still felt 13. Paul understood that and never 14 me. But, by summer, we got married. A year later, we used his savings, and the money from the sale of Mom's house, to build our own 15.

    We want to give our guests a 16 feel, so each room is themed(以……为题) around memories from our lives. There are also styles to remind me of Mom - a tiny chair which 17 be in her bedroom is set in one room.

    We are having a wonderful life and Mum 18 naturally part of it, 19 there's no way we would be here if it wasn't for the 20 she gave me. I know she's here in spirit, keeping an eye on us.

    Don't stop believing. If you're not reaching your highest potential, it might not be for lack of talent or determination, 1 because you're not keeping the right things in front of you.

    A few years after my dad died, I was 2 with the desire to write a book. For 3, I set two copies of my dad's most popular book beside my bed. One copy was in English, the other in 4. My dream was that my book would be translated into Spanish, too.

    Kevin is a twin. He 5 having twins himself. His wife Lisa had several surgeries. They attempted every 6 treatment. But 7 worked. They were beyond 8. One day Kevin found a small package in the mailbox. There were two diapers (尿布) inside. He ran into the house and 9 Lisa. “Look, honey, we just got the first diapers for our babies！”He wrote the date on them and put them on his 10 table. Month after month, they were the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes, and the last thing he saw 11 he fell asleep. Several years later, Kevin and Lisa got a phone call asking if they would be interested in 12 a baby.“Yes！” they said. The caller asked, “Would you consider accepting two？These are twin girls about to be born, and they need a good home.” Talk about a dream 13！

Remember that 14 I dreamed about writing？In 2004 I wrote Your Best Life Now. When the publishers read it they decided to 15 it in English and Spanish at the same time.

    Proverb says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish (毁灭).” 16 vision your dream will die, and part of you will die with it. Studies show that we move toward what we 17 see. Is there something you see every day that 18 you？Keep them in front of you to 19 you of what you're aiming for. If your dream is to go to a particular college, buy a T-­shirt with the school name and wear it 20.
