As I made out a complicated check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream order a dozen times ,I was ready to quit. 我在纽约一家生意兴隆的餐馆做服务员的令人精疲力竭的第一天终于结束了。我的帽子走歪了，我的围裙脏了，我的脚疼。我感到我手中盛着食物的托盘越来越重，我身心疲惫，精神沮丧，仿佛什么事都做不好了。还有这么一家人，带着好几个孩子，他们要求冰欺凌的时候反复了好几次之多。在我为那一家人开好这份复杂的账单时， 我准备辞职不干了！ Passage23 Then the father smiled at me as he handed me my tip. “Well done, ”he said. ”You’ve looked after us really well.” 正在这时，那位父亲对我微笑并递给我小费。 “做得好”他说。”“你把我们照顾得太好了。 Suddenly my tiredness vanished. I smiled back, and later, when the manger asked me how I’d liked my first day, I said,” fine!” Those few words of praise had changed everything. 突然我疲倦消失了。 我对他们也报以微笑，当经理问我对今天第一天上班感觉如何是，我说“好极了！这些赞美几句话改变了一切。 passage4 Praise is like sunlight to the human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it.
