The moment happened 20 years ago but it was still fresh in my memory. I was a college freshman and had 31 up most of the night before, laughing and talking with friends. Now just before my first 32 of the day my eyelids(眼皮)were feeling heavier and heavier and my 33 was lowering down to my desk to make my textbook a pillow. A few minutes’ nap(小睡)time before class wouldn’t 34 , I thought.
BOOM! I lifted my head suddenly and my eyes opened wide. I looked around with my 35 beating wildly trying to find the cause of the 36 . My young professor was looking at me with a boyish smile on his face. He had 37 dropped the textbooks he was carrying onto his desk. “Good morning!”, he said still 38 . “I am glad to see everyone is 39 . Now let’s get started. ”
For the next hour I wasn’t 40 at all. It wasn’t from the 41 of my professor’s textbook alarm clock. It was instead from the attractive 42 he led among students. With knowledge and good 43 he made the material come interesting and 44 . His idea was full of both wisdom and loving-kindness. I 45 the classroom not only wide awake, but a little 46 and a little better as well.
I learned something far more important than not 47 in class that day too. I learned that if you are going to do something in this life,do it well,do it with 48 . What a wonderful place this will be if all of us do our work joyously and well. Don’t sleepwalk your way through 49 then. Wake up! Let your love fill your work. Life is too 50 not to live it well.
