If you have failed in the past to try
to make big changes in life, try again now, one
small step at a
time.
Every year it’s the same. As December
26
to an end, you think about
the new year and all the
ways
you want to improve
your
life. But
as
you start to
write
down
your
hopes for the new
year, you
think about the last year. You
27
write down all the changes
you are going to make, but by the end
of January those ideas get
28
in your busy life.
Here’s the suggestion: Forget the too
big, hard-to-achieve goals and just
think about the small ones.
“We often
think that
we must do everything in
big steps,
29
it’s so hard
for us to reach
it,” said
Robert Maurer,
30
recently wrote the book One Small Step
Can Change Your Life. “What
we try to
do is to begin with
31
small step that we can’t find any
excuse
32
it.”
During
33
,
American factory managers were able to increase
productivity
(提高生产率)
34
trying small, continuous
(
持续的
) improvements instead
of sudden changes. After the war, the
idea
35
to a rebuilding Japan. It made Japan
strong quickly. The Japanese called it “Kaizen”,
which
means “improvement”.

An old man lived in a nice house with a
large garden. He took care of his flowers all the
time.
One day a young man
went past the garden. He looked at the beautiful
flowers, imagining how
happy he could
be if he lived in
26
. Then,
suddenly he found the old gardener was blind. He
was
very
27
about this
and asked, “You can’t see these
f
lowers. Why are you busy
28
care of them
every day?”
The old man smiled and said
“I can tell you four reasons. First, I was a
gardener when I was young,
and I really
like this job. Second, I can touch the flowers
29
seeing them. Third, I can
smell the
sweetness of them. The last
one, that’s for you.”
“
30
? But you don’t know me,”
said the young man.
“Yeah,
it’s true that I don’t know you. But I know that
flowers are angels. We enjoy the happiness
these flowers
31
us.”
The blind
man’s work p
leased our hearts and
32
our eyes, which also made
his life
33
. It
was just
like Beethoven, who became deaf in his later
34
and wrote many great
musical works.
Beethoven himself
couldn’t hear his wonderful music,
35
his music has encouraged millions of
people to face their difficulties
bravely. Isn’t it one kind of happiness?

To my great joy, I have given up my bad
habit which almost made me lose
36 . Two years ago, I
happened to come across Tom, who was
37
interested in gambling and soon we
became good friends.
Though the teacher
told us we must study hard every day, we took no
notice of it. In the classroom,
I
couldn’t hear what the teacher taught.
38 , my study was becoming
poorer and poorer. At the beginning,
we
just
played
39
for
fun,
but
soon,
we
played
for
gambling.
It
really
make
me
happy
and
