For most people, graduation is an exciting day, but my graduation day was not.
I remember that weekend two years ago. Family and friends had flown in from across the country to 36 the celebration. But just like everyone else in my class, I had watched the 37 turn from bad to worse in my senior year. Almost all of us graduates had degrees, but very uncertain 38 .
The weeks ahead weren’t 39 . I knew my small university town couldn’t offer me any opportunities, 40 I packed up my car and drove to Southern California to find work. But what I thought would take a 41 dragged into two, and then four, and 100 job applications later, I found myself in the exact same 42 as I was before.
You know that feeling when you wake up in 43 ? That feeling became a constant in my life. Days felt like weeks, weeks like months, and those many months felt like everlasting 44 . And the most annoying part was no matter how much I tried, I just couldn’t seem to make any 45 .
So what did I do to keep my good sense? I decided to 46 . Something about putting words on a page made everything seem a little clearer — a little brighter. Something about writing gave me 47 . And if you want something 48 enough, sometimes a little hope is all you 49 !
I put my thoughts into a children’s book. Beyond the River was the story of an unlikely hero, a little fish, who 50 to give up his dream.
And then one day, without any sort of writing degree or contacts in the writing world — just a lot of hard work and determination —I was offered a 51 contract for my first book! After that, things slowly began to fall into 52 . I was offered a second book deal. Then, a few months later, I got an interview with the Walt Disney Company and was 53 shortly after.
Don’t give up. Even if things look 54 now, don’t give up. If you work hard, things will always get better. Often times our dreams lie in wait just a little further upstream ... all we need is the 55 to push beyond the river.

I had been playing hockey (冰球)for about 10 years, I was always the one sitting at the end of the bench, and 26 got into a game.I went to all the 27 and showed up even when itwas so 28 that your ‘breath froze’ and whenplayers had decided to stay home. I feltI had 29 enough and thought of quitting”

I made up my mind to drive to South Carolina to meet my friends in my used car. Though I had only been there once 1 and did not know the 2 very well. I was on the 3 after I had made some enquires.
At Ashville, there was a crossroad where I could go on along the main road or I could take a short cut. The short cut was to 4 several hills and was dangerous. I hesitated for a little while and then chose the main road, for I wanted to be 5 .

I realized that it was at the 8 that I had made the 9 mistake. “What shall I do?” I asked myself. If I went back to take that road again, it would be very late by the time I got to Columbia. Thinking it 10 , I decided to go on. “If 11 people can go along this road, why can’t I?” I 12 myself.
The short cut, to my surprise, was not that 13 . In fact, it was only a very peaceful country road, 14 up and down two low 15 . There was 16 traffic. On both sides of the road, you could see trees, wild flowers, and 17 with cows and horses. My fear was 18 with the wind. Listening to the beautiful country music over my car stereo (立體聲), I drove on and 19 the scenery which was so quiet and so natural. Even my used car forgot to give me 20 . It was just in this light-heartedness that I arrived at my destination. My friends, after they heard what had happened to me, all said it sounded like an adventure.

Who is setting your standards for you ?
A true story has it that one elder man 36 to jog around the local high school football field. As he huffed and puffed(氣喘吁吁) along, the team was 37 . The players soon started running sprints up and down the field. The man told himself “I will 38 keep running until they quit.”
So he ran. And they ran. And he ran some more. And they kept running. And he kept running until he 39 finally run no more. He stopped in 40 . One of the players, equally out of breath, approached him and said in a crying voice, “Boy, I am so glad that you finally stopped. 41 told us we had to keep running 42 the old guy who was jogging !” He was watching them. They were watching him. He was letting them set his 43 , on the contrary, they allow him to set 44 .
My question is this: Are you keeping 45 with somebody else in your daily life? Are you 46 people to set your standards for you? What about your standards, or 47 , for moral behavior or even your way of building up your own characteristics ? Or guidelines for what kind of life 48 you want? Negative or positive? Do you keep pace with those 49 you, or do you decided yourself just 50 you will live your life? The true is that only you are 51 to determine what your standards will be.
Set your standards too low, and you will know only 52 . But set high standards and you can live an immeasurably full and 53 life. For only when you 54 the best that is within yourself, will you experience great living. Just as an old saying goes: “Think big 55 , and win big success.”
