I think I’m one of the luckiest people in the world because of the time I’m able to spend with young people who are not afraid to show their excitement and zest for life. 21 , I would prefer a person with passion and enthusiasm to a person with 22 and talent any day of the week. You can teach and develop skills, 23 you cannot develop a love of life and an optimistic attitude. These are 24 of a person and appear at all times during work or play. Furthermore, they are traits that one is born with and they will never 25 them.
As a 26 and an Independent Education and Career Planning Advisor, I 27 too many children and young adults who are on a road to despair unless someone can find a way to change their attitude towards 28 and indeed life itself!
29 , society has turned out too many children and young that are unwilling to put much 30 or thought into their work. Whenever I come across such people— 31 or old, I’m reminded of a boy who went with his mother on a blueberry picking hike into the 32 . The boy filled his 33 mostly with moss(苔藓) and then covered the moss with a thin layer of blueberries so that it looked 34 . But the next morning, he found the blueberry pie which his mother 35 for him was moss.
So 36 , whether you are in school or 37 , if you have enthusiasm and if you are 38 to put in consistent effort along with passion, you will receive the 39 . If, on the other hand, you are 40 and prefer to take short-cuts, you should not expect to achieve the same results.
