　 Life is like the four seasons. Now I am very old, but when I was young, it was the spring of my life. I was born, I played a lot, and then I started school. I learned many new things. Like a flower, I grew bigger every day. There were happy days and sorrowful days: some days the sun shone(闪耀), and some days it didn’t.

　 In my twenties, I had a good job. I was strong and happy. Then I married and had a child. In those days, I didn’t have much time to think. Every day I was busy and worked very hard. And so, I started to get some white hairs. The summer of my life passed quickly.

　 Then the days got shorter. Leaves fell from the trees. My child was a university student, and then an engineer. My home was much quieter. I started walking slowly. One day I stopped working. I had more time. I understood this was my autumn, a beautiful time when the trees change color and give us delicious fruits.

　 But the days kept getting shorter and colder. Winter has come, I am older and weaker. I know I do not have many days left. I will enjoy them to the end.

On my first job, I worked as a sports editor for a small newspaper. I never got a letter from my readers, so I was 　3l that there was an envelope（信封）on my desk one morning. From the 　32 , I could see it was from a most popular newspaper.

When I opened it, I found a note and it read, “You did a good job. Go on!”

The note was 　33 by Mr. John, a famous sports editor. As I was a green hand（新手）, his words made me 　34 . After that, I kept the note in my desk drawer. Whenever I doubted
35 I had the ability to be a good editor(编辑) , I would read John’s note and become
36 again.

Later, when I made friends with Mr. John, the note writer, I learned that he often wrote notes to 　37 young people in many fields. “When I make 　38 feel happy,” he told me, “I feel happy, too.”
　 　39 , why are there few note writers like John in our life? In my 　40 , many people are afraid that they cannot be well understood. Also, writing takes more time and it is not
41 to pick up the phone. The problem with phone calls is that they cannot 　42 a long time, but a note is a good way of record and our words can be read 　43 .

So, when you find some people around you need 　44 , please write a note of encouragement to bring them more confidence. Maybe, you are not sure what will
45 , but remember Mr. John’s words—making others feel happy makes you happy, too.
