Whatever misfortune you face, just hold up your head and face it with a smile! I got to know this from a musical soul.

?The other day I was feeling quite 41 , having just been laid off from my job. With so many 42 to pay, I was wondering what was going to happen to my family.

I got off the bus when I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the 43 . I walked a bit slower, trying to find out where it was coming from. Through the 44 I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a box next to her.

She was singing songs about love and her sweet voice 45 me a bit. Then I stood there watching her playing, thinking that it must take 46 to perform on her own in front of hundreds of people she didn’t know.?

? She might have felt my 47 for she occasionally looked in my direction.

By now I was telling myself that I could at least tell her how good she sounded. I walked 48 and put some money in her box and she expressed her thanks with a smile on her face.

I asked her 49 , “Why are you playing the piano in the middle of this crowded place?”

? She explained to me that she saw so many 50 people in the world that she was trying to relieve the pain by 51 motivational(激励的) music.

Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been going through a 52 time lately, but you’ve made me 53 again.”

? “I’m happy that I could be 54 to you,” she replied. “Why are you so sad?”

? I told her my story and said, “I’m not so 55 about what to do….”

? “You see, here’s the 56 ,” she responded. “When you were walking, your head was down.” She looked at me in the eyes and went on, “Don’t look defeated, because 57 comes in different ways and if your head is down you might never see it. You should 58 more … lift your head up.”

? I was really 59 by what she said! I did hold my head up and soon got through the difficult time.

So 60 in trouble, just face it bravely and you are sure to overcome your difficulty sooner or later.

A

My father had always been an alert observer of human character. Within seconds of meeting someone, he could sum up their strengths and weaknesses.

My brother Rick loudly announced that Jack wasn’t a turkey like the other guys I’d brought home. Jack passed my family’s test. But what about Dad’s?
