On my first job, I worked as a sports editor for a small newspaper. I never got a letter from my
readers, so I was __1__ that there was an envelope on my desk one morning. From the __2__ , I could
see it was from a most popular newspaper.
When I opened it, I found a note and it read, "You did a good job. Go on!"
The note was __3__ by Mr John, a famous sports editor. As I was a green hand (新手), his words
made me __4__ After that, I kept the note in my desk drawer. Whenever I doubted __5__ I had the
ability to be a good editor, I would read John's note and become __5__ again.
Later, when I made friends with Mr John, the note writer, I learned that he often wrote notes to
__6__ young people in many fields. "When I make __7__ feel happy," he told me, "I feel happy, too."
__8__ , why are there few note writers like John in our life? In my __9__ , many people are afraid that
they cannot be well understood. Also, writing takes more time and it is __10__ to pick up the phone. The
problem with phone calls is that they cannot __11__ a long time, but a note is a good way of record and
our words can be read __12__ .
So, when you find some people around you need __13__ , please write a note of encouragement to
bring them more confidence. Maybe, you are not sure what will __14__ , but remember Mr John's
words: making others feel happy makes you happy, too. |
