It was the end of my first day as waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had gone
away, and my feet 31 . The loaded plates I carried 32 to be heavier and heavier. Tired and
discouraged, I didn’t seem able to do anything 33 . As I made out a check for a family with
several children who had changed their ice-cream 34 a dozen times, I was ready to stop. Then
the father 35 at me as he handed me my tip. “Well done,” he said, “you’ve 36 us really
well.” Suddenly my tiredness 37 . I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I’d
like my first day, I said, “38 ! ” Those few words of praise had 39 everything. Praise is like 40
to the human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. And 41 , while most of us are only
too 42 to apply to others the cold wind of criticism, we are 43 to give our fellows the warm
sunshine of praise. Why — when one word of praise can bring such 44 ?

accept it. It’s 46 rewarding to give praise in areas in which 47 generally goes unnoticed or
unmentioned. An artist gets admired for a glorious picture, a cook for a 48 meal. But do you

Charlie was a US pilot in Vietnam. He flew 74 successful tasks. 31 , on his 75th mission,
his F4 fighter was 32 by a surface-to-air missile (导弹) and he was forced to escape. The only
thing between him and near death was the 33 that he prayed would open. It did open and
Charlie 34 it down to the ground alive, but he was caught and spent 6 years as a(n) 35 of
war in a Vietnamese prison camp.
One day, many years after returning to his homeland, Charlie and his wife were sitting in a
little 36 in Kansas City when he noticed two tables over was this guy who kept looking at him
37 .
Charlie looked back but did not 38 him, but he kept catching this guy 39 at him. Finally
the guy stood up and walked over to Charlie’s table and said, “You’re Captain Plumb. You flew jet
fighters in Vietnam. You 40 from the aircraft carrier, you parachuted 41 enemy area and
you were 42 a prisoner of war.”
Somewhat 43 , Charlie looked up at the guy and asked, “How did it 44 that you know
all that?” The man smiled and said, “Because I packed your parachute. I guess it 45 .”
Charlie lay awake that night, 46 all the times he had walked through the long narrow
room, below sea level on the aircraft carrier, with the tables where the men packed the

life without even saying “hi”, “good morning” or “good job” or “I 48 what you do.”
Think about this for yourself. How many times in life do you pass the people whose help is 49
