Tired and discouraged, I didn’t able to do anything ?38 ?. As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream ?39 ?a dozen times, I was ready to stop. Then the father ?40 ?at me as he handed me my tip. “Well done,” ?he said, “you’ve ? 41 ?us really well.” Suddenly my tiredness ?42 ?. I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I'd like my first day, I said, “ ?43 ? !” Those few words of praise had ?44 ?everything.

And ?46 ?,while most of us are only too ?47 ?to apply(應(yīng)用)to others the cold wind of criticism (批評(píng)), we are ?48 ?to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Why---when one word of praise can bring such ?49 ??
