Albert Einstein said, “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.” Once 36 , such opportunities are like valuable diamonds hidden in the sand.

A man stopped by to see me, and I 38 him as somebody who had suffered through a(n) 39 divorce (离婚) and was examining what was most important to him. He took a small 40 out of his pocket. Here is what he said to me that day.
“I 41 on this stone when I was leaving church last Sunday. You had spoken about 42 opportunities—diamonds. I put the stone in my 43 to remind me to look for those diamonds that I need.

I thought, ‘Here’s my diamond—don’t let it 46 !’ I sold the entire stock to him by noon. Now my next diamond is to find a new 47 !”
Not long afterward, he did find a new and better job. From then on, he 48 to keep his stone with him all the time as a 49 to look for “diamonds” as he digs through the 50 of life.
Richard DeVos is right when he 51 . “This is an exciting world. It is filled with opportunities. 52 moments wait around every corner.” Those moments are diamonds that, 53 left unrecognized, will be forever lost.

My parents passed away ten years ago and I miss them terribly. But I know they are with me every day in what they taught me and in the 36 they gave me. Every morning my father’s message to me was: Remember that 37 you walk out of this door, you carry responsibility, the good name of this family, the hopes and dreams of your mom and dad. My mother often urged me to 38 the high standards she set for me.
When I was in high school, I played in a rock band with friends in my class. We were devoted and practiced constantly. We moved past the guys – in – a – garage stage and 39 to be pretty good, doing getting – paid gigs (演奏会) most weekends, which made me 40 . At that time, though part of me was 41 up in that band, another part of me was the oldest son in the Clark family, 42 of my origin and a dedicated student busy applying to colleges. Without even telling my parents, I applied to Harvard. I didn’t think I had much chance of getting in, 43 I wanted to try. So I was riding around being Mr Cool Rock Musician half of the time, and the other half I was focused on family and 44 goals. I was running on parallel 45 .
When the group won a city wide Battle of the Bands, things heated up. My band mates had stars in their eyes – we might be able to make it big. However, I began to feel 46 . I realized I was on quite different tracks: I 47 was becoming two people, 48 identities back and forth depending on who I was with. I had to make an option. As I considered my 49 , my parents’ words were right there, helping me to see that my dreams weren’t about signing a record deal, letting my hair grow, and living in a tour bus. So I 50 out. My bandmasters were 51 . They thought I was crazy to withdraw 52 the peak of real success. But however successful that band got, I knew it wasn’t in line with my 53 , with my feeling of what I was 54 to do, with who I was – it simply wasn’t me.
In that instant and in many others throughout my life, my parent’s advice has helped me recenter and 55 . I could remember who I was – the hopes and dreams I carried.
