Another person’s enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved.That person was my stepmother.
I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia. My father__36__me to her with these words:“I would like you to meet the fellow who is 37 for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no ___38 than tomorrow morning.”
My stepmother walked over to me, ___39 my head slightly upward,and looked me right in the eye.Then she looked at my father and replied,“You are 40 . This is not the worst boy at all,
___41 the smartest one who hasn’t yet found an outlet(釋放的途徑)for his enthusiasm.”
That statement began a(n) 42 between us.No one had ever called me smart,My family and neighbors had built me up in my 43 as a bad boy . My stepmother changed all that.
She changed many things.She 44 my father to go to a dental school,from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat, where my father’s career could be more ___45 and my brother and I could be better 46 .
When I turned fourteen,she bought me a secondhand___47 and told me that she believed that I could become a writer.I knew her enthusiasm, I 48 it had already improved our lives.I accepted her 49 and began to write for local newspapers.I was doing the same kind of___50 that great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life’s work later.I wasn’t the ___51 beneficiary (受益者). My father became the ___52 man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.
What power __53 has! When that power is released to support the certainty of one’s purpose and is ___54 strengthened by faith,it becomes an irresistible force which poverty and temporary defeat can never 55 .
You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it.This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm.
