One day, a young man was cleaning out his late grandfather’s belongings when he 1 a bright red envelope. Written on the 2 were the words, “To my grandson. ” 　3 it was his grandfather’s handwriting, the boy opened the envelope. A letter inside read;

Dear Ronny,

Years ago you 4 to me for help. You said, “Grandpa, how is it that you’ve 　5 so much in your life? You’re still full of 6 ,but I’m already 7 of struggling. How can I get that same enthusiasm that you’ve got?”

I didn’t know what to say to you then. But knowing my days are numbered, I figure that I 　8 you an answer. So here is what I believe.

I think it has something to 　9 with how a person looks at things. I call it “keeping your eyes wide open”.

First, realize that is filled with surprises, but many are good ones. If you don’ keep 10 for them, you’ll miss half the excitement. Expect to be excited 11 ,and you will be.

When you meet with 12 ,welcome them. They’ll leave you wiser, stronger, and more capable than you were the day before. When you make a mistake, be 13 for the things it taught you. Learn to use that lesson to help you reach your goals.

It’s also important to 　14 exactly what you want . Then keep your mind focused on it , and be prepared to receive it.

As you grow with the years, you’ll be given bigger shoes to fill. So be ready for endings as well as challenging 15 .

Sometimes we have to be brave enough to move from the familiar to the unfamiliar. Life isn’t just reaching peaks. Part of it is moving from one 16 to the next. If you 17 too long in between, you might be tempted（诱惑）to 　18 . Leave the past in the past. Climb the next mountain and enjoy the view.

Most important of all, never give up on yourself. The person that ends up a winner is the one who resolves（决心，决定）to 　19 . Give life everything you’ve got, and life will give its best 20 to you.

Love always,

Grandpa
