14、 kissed me again and left. I sat, stunned, for about half an hour，wondering what had just happened. How did I make such a life changing difference to that boy without even knowing it？What I finally came to remember was one day, several months before，when some students were giving reports in the fron

15、t of the class, Jeanne spoke quietly，and to encourage her to raise her voice, I had said, “Speak up. Simons the expert on this. He is the only one you have to convince, and he cant hear you in the back of the room.” That was it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention, smi

16、led more，and became happy. And it was all because he happened to be the last kid in the last row. The boy who most needed praise was the one who took the last seat that day.

20、 filled the skies like beautiful birds dashing and dancing in the exciting atmosphere above the earth. As the strong winds gusted against the kites, a string kept them in check. Instead of blowing away with the wind, they arose against it to achievegreatheights. They shook and pulled, but the contro

21、lling string and the clumsy tail kept them in tow(牵引), facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They flew beautifully even as they fought the forced restriction of the string. Finally, o

22、ne of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. “Free at last,” it seemed to say, “Free to fly with the wind.” Yet freedom from control simplyputit at the mercy of an unsympathetic gentle wind. It flew ungracefully to the ground and landed in a twisted mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Fre

There always exist misfortunes and restrictions, rules to followfrom which we can grow and gain strength. Prohibition

24、is a necessary counterpart to the winds of opposition. Some of us pulled at the rules so hard that we never fly fast to reach the heights we might have obtained. If we keep all the commandment(戒律), we will never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground. Let us each rise to thegreatheights, r

29、nship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit（追求）of success, the development of many other hu

30、man qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which only values the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary player, they strongly blame competition. Amongthe most vocalare youngsters who have suffere

31、d under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail.

32、idnt try.” What is not usually admitted by them is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth.
