16、nd I always figured Id have time to learn it for him later.About the time I entered high school and started guitar, Grandpa got cancer. The last time I saw him alive was Thanksgiving weekend in 1985. My mom warned us that Grandpa didnt look the same anymore and that we should prepare ourselves. For
17、a moment I didnt recognize him. He looked so small among all the white sheets. We had all gathered in Ohio for the holiday, and Im sure we all knew we were there to say good-bye. I can see now that Grandpa held on long enough to see us each one more time. I remember how we ate in the dining room and
18、 laughed and talked while Grandpa rested in his hospital bed. I wonder if it was sad for him to be alone with our voices and laughter. Knowing Grandpa, he was probably content.The next morning I found my moment alone with him. I pulled out my guitar, tuned to his appreciative gaze, and finally playe

If you have a fear of failure, you might be uncomfortable setting goals. But goals
25、 help us decide where we want to go in life. Without goals, we have no sure destination.Many experts recommend visualization(形象化) as a powerful tool for goal setting. Imagining how life will be after youve reached your goal is a great motivator to keep you moving forward. However, visualization migh

27、etting a few small goals. These should be goals that are slightly, but not overwhelmingly, challenging. Think of these goals as early wins that are designed to help improve your confidence.

28、omotion you want), then make this your first goal: Plan to stop by her office during the next week to introduce yourself. Or, imagine that youve dreamed of returning to school to get your MBA(工商管理硕士), but youre convinced that youre not smart enough to be accepted into business school. Set a goal to
29、talk with a school counselor or admissions officer to see whats required for admission.Try to make your goals tiny steps on the route to much bigger goals. Dont focus on the end picture: getting the promotion, or graduating with an MBA. Just focus on the next step: introducing yourself to the depart

36、at times, by the noises of the train pullingin and out of the stations.The next morning we eagerly awaited the announcement: Next stop, ColoradoSprings. But suddenly, there came another announcement over the loud speaker. “During one of the overnight stops, many pieces of luggage were mistakenlyremo
37、ved from the train and left at the wrong location.”Kathy and I just looked at each other, as I felt the disappointment swell.Could my worst fear be coming true, was Debbies suitcase lost?Just then two train conductors passed our seats. One of them jokingly said to the other, “Did you ever see such a
38、nold, ugly, brighter yellow, piece of luggage in all of your life?”Before the other conductor could answer, Iscreamed, “YES, MY SUITCASE MADE IT!” The two conductors stopped in their tracks! and, very red in the face,couldnt seem to apologize enough for having insulted my suitcase. When I returned i
39、t, I couldntwait to get the suitcase back into Debbies safe hands. She asked,“Did everything go well on the trip?” Somehow, I just couldnt resist telling her what had happened. She laughed heartily. When I recall the golden suitcase, Imreminded, that like the suitcase, we can see ourselves as too ol
