Question

Mark Gibson is a former gymnastics coach who once worked with many excellent athletes. He often tells a wonderful story about a 15-year-old 　16 girl, Cindy, whose attitude brought out the best in everyone.

Cindy wasn’t a great 　17 , but when she was in the gym, everyone complained less, worked harder, and, not 　18 , achieved more. Cindy was such a powerful motivator 　19 she could see nothing. When it was her turn to do the vault（跳馬）, mother would also 　20 alongside her, and tell her how close she was to the vault. When her mom said, “Vault!”, Cindy would reach out and jump, 　21 her mother and herself.

Cindy loved the sport and kept 　22 because she and her mom refused to be defeated by her 　23 . Mark called her the most 　24 member of the team, not because of her 　25 ability, but because of her heart and because she 　26 a standard of perseverance(堅持) and courage that inspired others to get more out of themselves. Everyone who 　27 her work hard to be the best 28 how much more they could get out of themselves.

This is leadership---leadership by 　29 . And we see this sort of leadership not only in 　30 but also in families and in the workplace. Often the most important members of the team are not the 　31 , most skilled, or most powerful. Instead, their 　32 is in their attitude and their ability to inspire and 　33 others with their optimism, enthusiasm, and determination.

People who know how to get the best out of themselves get the best of others.

There’s no doubt that Cindy’s 　34 has a great effect on her teammates. A person’s personality matters most because it comes from within and does not depend on 　35 alone.
