I shall never forget one showing which was really a challenge. I was busy getting ready to 1 my winter fashion. Then just thirteen 2 before the showing, the sewing girls were called out on 3 . I found myself left with one 4 and the woman who was in charge of the sewing room! I was as 5 as my models and salesgirls. “We’ll never 6 it.” one of them cried.
Here, I thought, is the test of all tests for Father’s 7 . Where is the way 8 this time? I wondered and worried. I was certain we would 9 to call off the showing---- 10 else show the clothes unfinished. Then it dawned on me. 11 show the clothes unfinished?
We worked extremely hard. And 12 thirteen days later, right on time, the showing took place.
What a 13 it was! Some coats had no sleeves (袖子); others had only one. Many of our clothes were 14 in an early stage, but in this way we were 15 to show what colors and textures the 16 would have when they were 17 .
All in all, the showing was 18 . It was so different that it was a great success. Our 19 showing caught the attention of the public, and 20 for the clothes poured in. Father’s wise words had guided me once again. There is more than one way to the square----always.

The world always makes way for the dreamer.
When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Zigler. I remember sitting in that dark hall listening to Mr. Zigler 36 everyone’s spirits up to the ceiling, I 37 there feeling like I could do anything. When we got to the car, I turned to my father and said, “Dad, I want to 38 people feel like that.” My father asked me 39 I meant. “I want to be a motivational （激励人的） speaker just like Mr. Zigler,” I replied. A 40 was born.
Recently, I began seeking my dream of motivating others. 41 a four-year relationship with Fortune 100 Company 42 as a sales-trainer and ending as a regional sales manager, I left the company at the height of my 43 . Many people were 44 that I would leave after earning a six-figure income. And they asked 45 I would risk everything for a dream.
I made my 46 to start my own company and leave my secure（无忧虑的） position after
47 a regional sales meeting. The vice-president of our company delivered a 48 that changed my life. He asked us, “If a god would offer you three wishes, what would they be?” After giving us a 49 to write down the three wishes, he then asked us, “Why do you need a 50 ?” I would never forget the power I felt at that moment. I realized that 51 I had accomplished in the past had prepared me for this moment. I was ready and didn’t need a god’s help to become a motivational speaker. A motivational speaker was 52 .
Having made that decision, I was immediately 53 . One week after I gave notice, my husband was laid off from his job, and now we had no 54 . But I held fast to my dream. The wonder really began to happen. In a short time my husband found a better job. And I was able to book several 55 engagements with new customers. I discovered the incredible power of dreams.

Time is very important in our lives. It 36 our everyday moments. However, time never had any 37 in my life until 1 received a watch from my father that organized my life and made me more 38.
It's round in the center with two silver bands that go around my wrist. And all of it is made of silver. This 39 tells me the importance of time in my life.
I received this 40 on a gray-sky day. 1 had to go to the airport at 9:00 AM to 41 up my Uncle Ali and take him to my father's house. 42 ，I was late because I was 43 out with my friends. Later on that day, around 11:00 AM, I 44 my uncle, but I was very 45 for him. He had 46 the airport and taken a taxi to my father's house.
I got to my father's house at 2:00 PM on the same day and looked at my angry father's face I felt 47 of myself at that moment. After I said hi to my 48 father and tired uncle, my father asked me to sit next to him where he handed me this watch as a gift from him. Then he said, “Essa, did you have 49 with your friends today?” I answered, “Yes father, and I'm sorry about not picking up my Uncle Ali” He said, "What you 50 was not very nice and you should be sorry for your 51 . ” I was ashamed and said, “Father, I'll never do it again. I promise.” He said, “I hope today you learned something important, and this watch will be a 52 for you.” He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my 53.
I learned a very important lesson from my father: to 54 time and never be late to get someone. This watch is 55 to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson that I learned from it.

In August 2000, I walked onto the campus of Illinois State University（ISU）as a simple, quiet girl from a small rural town. There were more freshmen here than the population of my 21 hometown. Standing by myself, I was all of a sudden 22 by strangers from various backgrounds. I was 23 with this place and, for the first time in my life, I felt 24 .
Over time, I realized that everyone around 25 the same. The strangers soon became friends, and the campus turned into one where I found 26 . Before I knew it, ISU became my“ 27 ”away from home.
Throughout the four years, I learned a lot I had not learnt from my 28 . I realized that you cannot 29 late Thursday night and still pass your Friday exam; that pizza three times a day will gain the 30 15 pounds. I also figured out who I was as a person and found the best 31 family in the friends.
The bittersweet day came when I had to 32 the college chapter of my life. I thought I would 33 , but I didn’t . I knew I would have my college years, my friends and 34 , with me forever. I even had a sense of 35 that my four years of difficult classes finally paid off.
However, 36 hit the day after graduation. For three months I was 37 ,not to mention I had loans（贷款）to repay and no 38 .
This January, I received an offer from a school three hours away from home. I will move on, with 39 I had on that first day of college, to the place I again will call home. But I believe I will 40 it!

My First Job
I was six when I joined my father and two elder brothers at sunrise in the fields of Eufaula Okla. 36 the time I was eight I had been helping Dad fix up old furniture. He gave me a cent for every nail I 37 out of old boards.
I got my first 38 job at JM’s Restaurant in town, when I was 12. My main responsibilities were 39 tables and washing dishes, 40 sometimes I helped cook.
Every day after school I would 41 for JM’s and work until ten. Even on Saturdays I 42 from two until eleven. At that age it was difficult going to work and
43 my friends run off to swim or play. I didn’t necessarily like work, but I loved what working 44 me to have. Because of my 45 I was always the one buying when my friends and I went to the local Tastee Freez. This made me 46 .
Word that I was trustworthy and hard-working 47 around town. A local clothing store offered me credit（赊账） 48 I was only in seventh grade. I immediately 49 a $68 sports coat and a $22 pair of shoes. I was 50 only 65 cents an hour, and I already owed the storekeeper $90! So I learned 51 the danger of easy credit. I paid it 52 as soon as I could.
My first job taught me self-control, responsibility and brought me a 53 of personal satisfaction few of my friends had experienced. As my father, 54 worked three jobs, once told me, “If you 55 sacrifice and responsibility, there are not many things in life you can’t have.” How right he was!
