Question

I want to make the most of every day. And, like most people, I've      that the best way to do it is (to) let go of past failures. But that's not all. One can never fully      today while thinking too much about past successes, either. People never      while resting comfortably on their laurels (榮譽(yù)). The      is that sometimes our successes hold us back more than our failures!

I once       a story about the Oscar owner, actor Clark Gable. A friend      Gable one afternoon at the actor's home. She brought along her      son, who was playing happily with toy cars on the floor. He      he was racing those cars around a great track, which in      was an imaginary circle around a golden statue. The small statue the boy played with was actually the Oscar Clark Gable      for his performance in the 1934 movie It Happened One Night.

When his mother told him the time had come to      , the little boy asked the actor, “Can I have this？”      to the Oscar.

“Sure,” he smiled. “It's yours.”

The horrified mother       . “Put that back immediately！”

Giving the child the golden statue, Clark Gable said, “Having the Oscar around doesn't mean anything to me;       it does.” The actor seemed to know that past success could be a       hammock (吊床) upon which he may be tempted to     , rather than a springboard setting him to begin a new start.

You may have learned to let go of past       and mistakes in order to free the present. But will you forget past successes and achievements in order to free the      ？Will your past be a springboard or a restful hammock?

“I like the       of the future better than the history of the past，” said Thomas Jefferson. I      . After all, the future, not the past, is where the rest of your life will be lived.
