One day a teacher asked her students to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their 16 and write it down.
That Saturday, the teacher 17 down the name of each student on a separate piece of paper, and 18 what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the 19 class were smiling. She heard whispers. “I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!” and “I didn’t know others 20 me so much.” were most of the 21 .
No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. But it didn’t matter. The 22 had achieved its 23 . The students were 24 with themselves and one another.
Several years later, one of the students Mark was killed in Vietnam and his teacher 25 the funeral (葬礼) of that special student.
After the funeral, Mark’s father said to his teacher, “I want to show you something.” Then he took a wallet out of his 26 . “They found this on Mark when he was killed. I thought you might 27 it.” The teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the 28 things each of Mark’s classmates had said about him. “Thank you so much for doing that,” Mark’s father said. “As you can see, Mark 29 it.”
In fact, we don’t know when life will end one day. So please, tell the people you love and care for, that they are 30 and important. Tell them, before it is too late…
