   Jack was born in a poor family. His father had a small boat and went fishing in the morning and sold the fish in the market in the afternoon. Then he bought some food for his family.

A few years ago, I was a housewife looking after my kids. One day, my two-year-old 1 pointing at several "stood" color maker pens, cheered excitedly, "Mummy, look! I did 2 ." With the encouragement of such a 3 , he quickly got together another handful of long and thin ball-pens, trying to do the same—making them 4 on the table. Little by little, his face5 red. 6 he cried out, "Mummy, help!"

7 all the ball-pens in his hand had either sharp or round ends, I said relaxedly, "Mummy 8 help you on this." But at once he cried loudly and fell to the floor. A moment later, he ran back to the table, and 9 trying to keep the ball-pens standing up.

Without knowing 10 the ball-pens can't stand up, my son accepted the impossibility 11 many times of unsuccessful tries. He put aside all the 12 , and kept only those marker-pens for this standing up "game". This time he finished in this way again. Clearly, he already learned to let go of this 13 try.

Being persistent(坚持不懈的)is not easy. But sometimes, it is even 14 to let go. In our daily life, perhaps we don't need to face many problems 15 we know how to realize those unlikely achievable goals, and then decisively let go of them right away.
