What happened to that brilliant idea that you once had? Did you   36 it because you thought that it was just a little thought? Have you ever   37 what that little thought would have become if you had acted on your instincts (直觉)   38 if you had paid more attention to it?

Imagine a scene,   39 you are sitting at home watching television or reading a book, suddenly a light is   40 on in the dark tunnel of your mind as a thought or an idea crosses your mind. The thought   41 your attention but seems so meaningless and you are tempted to   42 it, but wait a minute! That thought could be the potential beginning of the   43 you have so mush wished for.

As the thought crosses your mind, your senses become alert and you suddenly see a possibility, a solution, or find the answer to a problem whose solution has   44 escaped you. It is almost as if a wise man has   45 the perfect solution into your ear or awakened your senses to a reality, thereby bringing light to your life. It is like finding the   46 piece of jigsaw puzzle (拼图游戏). This becomes an amazing moment and everything freezes around you as you excitedly try to grasp the practicality of that   47 but powerful thought.

Your self-confidence and enthusiasm increase as you become   48 of the great possibilities that can   49 if that little thought is acted upon. This becomes the moment to build upon that thought and to put   50   any ideas that are streaming from that little thought for later review.  51 meaningless little thought or ideas when acted 52 have a potential to explode into great projects. Many successful projects have been 53 from the little positive thoughts that were carefully protected and recognized as bricks to great things.

Don't waste a(n)   54 to act on a potentially brilliant idea. You don't have to wait for a major idea, or approval from your peers in order for you to act on that little thought.

That little thought or idea is the   55   of great things if you decide to follow it through.

  There is a fine line between a parent who is active and open-minded and one that doesn't know when to let go(放手).As my daughter, Nicole, prepares to leave home for college, I'm discovering how hard it is to stay on the   1   side of this line.When I hold   2   the apron strings(围裙带)connecting us, Nicole, eager to   3   independence, tries to loosen my grasp.What results is a(an)  4   mother-daughter, push-me, pull-you kind of tango.
