Below are more examples of the 　5 （fail） of successful people:

　　　 Thomas Edison failed 6 （approximate） 10, 000 times while he 7 （work） on the light bulb．

　　　 Henry Ford fired Lee Iacocca at the age of 54．

　　　 Young Beethoven 8 （tell） that he had no talent for music, 　9 he gave some of the best music to the world．

　　　 Setbacks are inevitable in life．A setback can act as a driving force and also teach us humility．In grief you will find courage and faith 10 （overcome） the setback．

Inside, a salesman 　11 me with the finest pair of Oxfords I had 　12 seen. I 　13 about 10 feet tall when I got up 　14 them. “We’d like a pair of new socks too,” Mr Rader said.

Back in his office, Mr Rader took out a 　15 , wrote something on it, and handed it to me. With 　16 eyes, I read, “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” He said affectionately (深情地), “Jimmy, I want you to 　17 I love you.”

I said good-bye, and for the first time I 　18 a flicker of hope that somehow things would be 　19 . With people like Mr Rader in the world, there was hope, kindness and love, and that would always make a 　20 .
