A lesson in “heart” is my little 10-year-old daughter, Sarah, who was born with a muscle(肌肉)missing in her foot and wears a brace all the time. She came home on a beautiful spring day to tell me she had competed in “field day” 一 that's where they have lots of races and other competitive events.

    Because of her leg support, my mind raced as I tried to think of words of encouragement for my Sarah, things I could say to her about not letting this get her down-things I have heard many famous coaches tell the players when they were faced with defeat(失败)—but before I could get a word out, she looked up and said, “Daddy, I won two of the races.”

    I couldn't believe it! Then Sarah said. “I had an advantage.”

    Ah. I knew it. I thought she must have been given a head start……some kind of physical advantage. But again, before I could say anything, she said, “Daddy, I didn't get a head start…My advantage was I had to try harder!”

    When William Brown taught at Boston University, he once thought about the people that he hadn't thanked in his life. They taught him, encouraged (鼓励) him or cared a lot about him.

    Tina Johnson was a teacher. She once taught William geography, and William loved geography all his life. So he wrote a letter of thanks to her.

    He got the teacher's letter later. It began, “My dear Willie”. He was happy. Now over 50, he didn't think someone would called him “Willie”. Here is that letter.

    My dear Willie,

    I cannot tell you how much your letter meant to me. I am in my eighties, living alone in a small room and cooking my own meals. You will be interested to know that I taught school for 50 years and yours is the first letter of appreciation (感激) I ever got. It came on a cold morning and it made me feel very warm.

    ......

    William cried when he read the letter. She was one of the people that William hadn't thanked in his past. She helped him to believe in himself. He would never forget her.

    There are some people we should always remember, because they helped to shape our life. William Brown found a way to show his appreciation—he wrote them letters.

    Who are some of the people that you need to say thank you to in your past? It may be too late to say “Thanks”.

④The best way to become outgoing is to go out. It is also a very important step. Usually those who like to do the same things can get to know each other better. If you like playing sports, go to a sports club. You may make many new friends there if you get over your shyness.
