| Monty Roberts, owner of a horse ranch (牧场) in San Ysidro, once told us a story. "When a young man was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to 1 and do when he grew up. In his seven-page paper he described his 2 of someday owning a horse ranch. He drew a 3 floor plan (平面图) for a 4,000-square-foot house that would 4 on a 200-acre dream ranch. Two days later he received his 5 back. On the front page was a 6 red F. The teacher said, "This is an 7 dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money." Then the teacher 8 , "If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your 9 ." The boy asked his father what he should do. His father said, "Look, son, you have to make up your own 10 on this. However, I think it is a very 11 decision for you." 12 , after a week, the boy 13 the same paper, making no 14 at all. He stated, "You can keep the F and I'll keep my 15 ." Monty then turned to us and said, "I tell you this story 16 you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed (装框) over the fireplace." He added, "The best part of the 17 is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said, "Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was 18 of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids' dreams. 19 you had enough determination not to give up on yours." Don't let anyone 20 your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what. | ||||
