　　(一)

　　In my early childhood, my parents and teachers taught me to be persistent (執著) in every task I devoted myself to. I was

　　__1__

　　that persistence is the only way towards success. But a small

　　__2__

　　made me change my mind.

　　One day my two-year-old son,

　　__3__

　　at a dozen of “stood” color marker-pens, cheered excitedly，“Mummy, look! I did it.” Afterwards, he collected some ball-pens,

　　__4__

　　to do the same. Hard though he tried, the ball-pens just lay

　　__5__. He turned to me for help. Noticing they had either sharp or round ends, I said

　　__6__， “Mummy can't help you.” To my surprise, he wouldn't listen and continued trying... I was dumbfounded by his persistence.

　　My son's behaviour reminded me of George who was always

　　__7__

　　in his work and rarely talked to anyone. To him,

　　__8__， there was no such thing called weekends or holidays. Our boss praised

　　__9__

　　about him and

　　__10__

　　us to look up to him as a role model.

　　One day I met George. “Gonna work late again tonight？”

　　“Probably can't leave till midnight，” he said.

　　“How many hours have you put in here each week, eighty or ninety？”

　　“__11__.”

　　“Don't you have time to be with your family at all？”

　　He shook his head slowly and

　　__12__

　　a sigh. “It's not what I wanted. But I have worked on it for so long. It's much too

　　__13__

　　to even think about letting go.”

　　A year later I resigned. The

　　__14__

　　thing I heard about him was that his wife divorced him. Since then I've never seen him. But occasionally his aged

　　__15__

　　would come to my mind.

　　Until that day,

　　__16__

　　knowing why the ball-pens couldn't stand up, the two-year-old had

　　__17__

　　the impossibility after many failures. He put aside all the ball-pens and kept only those water markers for his “game”.

　　__18__， he already learned to let go of his previous

　　__19__ attempts.

　　In our daily life, many headaches can be avoided if we know how to

　　__20__

　　them and then decisively let go of them immediately.

　　It was about the third week in June last year. My 15-year-old son had already settled into his summer routine：Go to

　　at 2 a. m. and wake up at 1 p．m. only to get back on his computer to play computer games

　　__2__

　　dinner.

　　It was the middle of the

　　__3__

　　when the sound of his computer games woke me up again. I couldn't

　　__4__

　　that any more and decided it was time for him to get a summer job. I got on the computer and found a lifeguard certification class that

　　__5__

　　the next day, and a company that

　　__6__

　　teenagers to guard their pools.

　　From that day I woke him up at 8 a．m. every day for him to

　　__7__

　　the class. At first, he continued to complain that I was

　　__8__

　　his summer. But by the end of the week, he was actually

　　__9__

　　going. He learned something about first aid, figured he really could

　　__10__

　　someone from drowning, and got some ideas on how to

　　__11__

　　work for a living.

　　Two weeks later, he had a

　　__12__

　　as a lifeguard. He took his responsibility very

　　__13__

　　and never went to work late. This summer, he will be working full-time at a pool. He says a lot of his

　　__14__

　　don't have jobs. And I say that is because their mothers didn't try

　　job information for him.
