I really love my job because I enjoy working with small
children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also
think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I
would never have that sort of career.
I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much
schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and
found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the
type to have a career.
I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t
too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so
that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the
evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d
give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out.
I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many
late nights and early mornings with the children.

One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met
Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my
situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a
qualification if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would
be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She
persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really
helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time
course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping
out at a kindergarten.
Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to
Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career,
even if you aren’t top of the class at school.
Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept
these failures as a necessary part of the learning process.

我真的很喜欢我的工作,因为我喜欢和小孩子一起工作,喜欢工作中的挑战和奖励。我也认为
我的工作很重要。曾经有一段时间,我认为我永远不会有那样的事业。
我不是一个优秀的学生,因为我没有做很多功课。在我的最后一个学期,我开始思考我可以做
什么,并发现我没有什么可以提供。我只是接受了我不是那种有事业的人。
然后我给自己找了一份工作,照顾两个小女孩。一开始还不算太差但问题是从我同意住进去的
时候开始的,这样一来,如果老板晚上要出差的话,我就在里面了。我们说好了,如果我这一周不
得不加班,下一周她就给我放假。但不幸的是,它并不经常成功。我累极了,受够了,因为我有太
多的深夜和清晨与孩子们在一起。
一个星期天,我和孩子们在公园里,遇到了以前和我一起上学的梅根。我把我的情况告诉了她。
她建议如果我想和孩子们一起工作的话,我应该去上一门课程,并获得一个资格证书。我没想到我
会被录取,因为我在学校考试不多。她说服我给当地的大学打电话他们真的很有帮助。我的经历很
重要我上了一个兼职课程。我不得不离开我的工作和家庭,去一家幼儿园帮忙。
现在我在那里找到了一份全职工作。我将永远感谢梅根。我希望我能早点知道,即使你不是班
上的尖子,你也可以有自己的事业。
我们每个人都会时不时地失败。如果我们是明智的,我们接受这些失败作为学习过程中必要的
一部分。

Donnie was a shy, nervous perfectionist. His fear of failure kept
him from classroom games that other children played with joyous
excitement. He seldom answered questions -- he might be wrong.
Written assignments, especially math, reduced him to nail-biting
frustration. He seldom finished his work because he repeatedly
checked with me to be sure he hadn't made a mistake.
Then one morning we were working math problems at the
chalkboard. Pleased with their progress, I left the children with
Mary Anne, my student teacher, and went for art materials. When
I returned, Donnie was in tears. He'd missed the third problem. Anne
looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face brightened. She reached
the drawer we shared for some pencils.
"See these pencils, Donnie?" she said, kneeling beside him
and gently lifting the tear-stained face from his arms. "They belong
to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are worn? That's
because we make mistakes too. Lots of them. But we erase the
mistakes and try again. That's what you must learn to do, too."

She kissed him and stood up. "Here," she said, "I'll leave one of
these pencils on your desk so you'll remember that everybody
makes mistakes, even teachers." Donnie looked up with love in his
eyes and just a glimmer of a smile -- the first I'd seen on his face
that year.
The pencil became Donnie's prized possession. That, together
with Mary Anne's frequent encouragement and unfailing praise for
even Donnie's small successes, gradually persuaded him that it's
all right to make mistakes -- as long as you erase them and try
again.

唐尼是个害羞紧张的完美主义者。他对失败的恐惧使他不能参加其他孩子玩得很开心
的课堂游戏。他很少回答问题——他可能错了。书面作业,特别是数学作业,使他陷入了
如坐针毡的沮丧之中。他很少完成他的工作,因为他反复向我确认他没有犯错误。
然后有一天早上我们在黑板上做数学题。我对孩子们的进步很满意,于是把孩子们留
给玛丽安妮,我的实习老师,去找美术材料。当我回来的时候,唐尼哭了。他漏掉了第三
个问题。安妮绝望地看着我。她的脸突然开朗起来。她走到我们共用的抽屉里,要一些铅
笔。
“看到这些铅笔了吗,多尼?”她说着,跪在他身边,轻轻地从他怀里抬起那张满是
泪痕的脸。“是林德斯特伦太太和我的。看到橡皮是怎么磨损的了吗那是因为我们也会犯
错。很多人。但我们会抹去错误,再试一次。这也是你必须学会的。”
她吻了他一下,站起身来。“来,”她说,“我把一支铅笔放在你的桌子上,这样你就会
记住每个人都会犯错,即使是老师。“唐尼抬起头,眼里充满爱意,只有一丝微笑——这是
我那年在他脸上看到的第一个微笑。
铅笔成了唐尼最珍贵的财产。再加上玛丽·安妮经常鼓励唐尼,甚至对唐尼的小成功
也毫不松懈地赞扬,渐渐地,唐尼相信犯错是没问题的——只要你把错误抹去,再试一次。
会被录取,因为我在学校考试不多。她说服我给当地的大学打电话他们真的很有帮助。我
的经历很重要我上了一个兼职课程。我不得不离开我的工作和家庭,去一家幼儿园帮忙。
现在我在那里找到了一份全职工作。我将永远感谢梅根。我希望我能早点知道,即使
你不是班上的尖子,你也可以有自己的事业。
我们每个人都会时不时地失败。如果我们是明智的,我们接受这些失败作为学习过程
中必要的一部分。

A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to
where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with potato chips and
root beer and started his journey.
When he stopped by in a park, he met an old woman. He was
about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the
old lady looked hungry, so he offered her some chips. She gratefully
accepted it and smiled at him.
Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again,
so he offered her a root beer. Again, she smiled at him. The boy was
delighted! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they
never said a word.
As twilight approached, the boy realized that he got to go
back home. When the boy opened the door, his mother was
surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him,
"What did you do today that made you so happy?"
"I had lunch with God. You know what? She's got the most
beautiful smile I've ever seen!"

Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to
her home. Her son was stunned by the look of peace on her face
and he asked,
"Mother, what did you do today that made you so happy?"
"I ate potato chips in the park with God. You know, he's
much younger than I expected."
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a
kind word, a listening ear, or the smallest act of caring, all of which
have the potential to turn a life around. People come into our lives
for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Embrace all equally!

一个小男孩想要见到上帝。他知道去上帝住的地方是一段漫长的旅程,所以他把土豆片
和根啤酒装进行李箱,开始了他的旅程。
当他在一个公园停下来的时候,他遇到了一位老妇人。他正要喝瓶啤酒,这时他注意到
老太太看起来很饿,于是他递给她一些薯片。她感激地接受了,对他笑了笑。
她的笑容是如此美丽,男孩想再看一次,于是他给了她一杯沙士。她再次对他微笑。男
孩高兴极了!他们坐在那里吃了一下午,面带微笑,却一句话也不说。
当黄昏来临时,男孩意识到他必须回家了。当男孩打开门时,他的母亲被他脸上喜悦的
表情吓了一跳。她问他,
“你今天做了什么让你这么高兴?”
"我和上帝共进午餐。你知道吗她的笑容是我见过最美的!“
与此同时,老妇人也喜气洋洋地回到了自己的家。她的儿子被她脸上平静的表情惊呆了,
他问,
“妈妈,你今天做了什么让你这么高兴?”
"我和上帝在公园里吃了薯片。他比我想象的年轻多了。“
我们常常低估一个触摸、一个微笑、一句善意的话、一双倾听的耳朵,或一个小小的关
怀举动的力量,所有这些都可能改变一个人的生活。人们走进我们的生活,有一个原因,一
个季节,或者一辈子。平等地拥抱一切!

Last night was the last game for my eight-year-old son’s
soccer team. It was the final quarter. The score was two to one, my
son’s team in the lead. Parents surrounded the playground, offering
encouragement.
With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball suddenly rolled
in front of my son’s teammate, Mickey. With shouts of “Kick it!”
echoing across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave it
everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted. Mickey had
scored!
Then there was silence. Mickey had scored all right, but in the
wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For a moment there was a
total hush. You see, Mickey has Down syndrome and for him there
is no such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a
joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug the
opposing players when they scored.

The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with
joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted, “I scored! I scored.
Everybody won! Everybody won!” For a moment I held my breath,
not sure how my son would react. I need not have worried. I
watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic
high-five salute and started chanting, “Way to go Mickey! Way to
go Mickey!” Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey,
joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal.
Later that night, when my daughter asked who had won, I
smiled as I replied, “It was a tie. Everybody won.”

昨晚是我八岁儿子足球队的最后一场比赛。那是最后一节。比分是二比一,我儿子的队
领先。家长们围在操场上,给予鼓励。
在比赛还剩不到十秒的时候,球突然滚到了我儿子的队友米奇面前。喊着“踢它!”回
荡在操场上,米奇转过身,把他所有的一切都给了它。我周围的人群爆发了。米奇得分了!
然后是沉默。米基进了球,但进错了球,比赛以平局结束。一时间,全场鸦雀无声。米
奇患有唐氏综合症。对于他来说,没有错误的目标。所有的进球都被米奇快乐的拥抱所庆祝。
他甚至被称为拥抱对方球员,当他们得分。
沉默终于被打破,米奇脸上洋溢着喜悦,紧紧地抱着我的儿子,大声喊道:“我得分了!
我得分了。大家都赢了!大家都赢了!”有那么一会儿,我屏住了呼吸,不知道儿子会有什
么反应。我不必担心。我流着泪看着我儿子举起他的手,以经典的击掌敬礼,开始吟诵:“干
得好米奇!干得好米奇!”不一会儿,两队都围住了米奇,加入了齐声欢呼,祝贺他的进球。
那天晚上晚些时候,当女儿问谁赢了的时候,我笑着回答,“打平了。大家都赢了。”

Life whispers in your soul and speaks to your heart.
Sometimes, when you don't have the time to listen...Life throws a
brick at your head.
A young and successful CEO was traveling down a
neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. As his
car passed, one child appeared, and a brick smashed into the Jag's
side door. He slammed on the brakes and spun the Jag back to the
spot from where the brick had been thrown.
He jumped out of the car, grabbed the kid and pushed him up
against a parked car, shouting, “What was that all about and what
the hell are you doing? That's a new car and that brick you threw
gonna cost a lot. Why did you do it?”
“Please, mister, please, I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to
do!” pleaded the youngster.

“It's my brother,” he said. “He rolled off the curb and fell out
of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up.” Sobbing, the boy asked
the executive, “Would you please help me get him back into his
wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me.”
Moved beyond words, the driver lifted the young man back
into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the
scrapes and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be
okay.
“Thank you, sir. And God bless you, “the grateful child said to
him. The man then watched the little boy push his brother to the
sidewalk toward their home.
It was along walk back to his Jaguar... a long, slow walk.He
never did repair the side door. He kept the dent to remind him not

to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you
to get your attention.
生活在你的灵魂中低语,与你的心对话。有时候,当你没有时间听...生活向你扔砖头。
一位年轻成功的 CEO 在附近的街道上旅行,开着他的新捷豹车开得有点太快了。当他
的车经过时,一个孩子出现了,然后一块砖头砸中了捷豹的侧门。他猛踩刹车,把捷豹车转
回到砖头被扔的地方。
他从车里跳出来,抓住那个孩子把他顶在一辆停着的车上,从中文到英文:呼喊,“那是
怎么回事,你在干什么?那是辆新车,你扔的砖头要花很多钱。你为什么这么做"
“拜托,先生,拜托,我很抱歉。我不知道还能怎么办!”从中文到英文恳求小伙子。
“是我哥哥。”他说。“他从人行道上滚下来,从轮椅上摔了下来我没法把他抬起来。”
哭着,男孩问经理,”你能帮我把他扶回轮椅上吗?他受伤了他对我来说太重了。"
感动得说不出话来,司机把年轻人扶回轮椅上,拿出手帕给他擦了擦擦伤和割伤的伤口,
检查,看看一切都会没事。
“谢谢,先生。上帝保佑你,”孩子感激地对他说。然后,这个男人看着小男孩把他的
弟弟推到人行道上,朝他们家走去。
走了很长的路回到他的捷豹...一段很长的,缓慢的步行。他从来没有修过侧门。他留下
了这个凹痕,提醒自己不要过得太快,以至于有人不得不向你扔砖头来引起你的注意。
