A couple of days ago, my sister Liz and I spoke about Dad, and we decided to get him a little something together for Father’s Day. we talked about times when we were ---36--- up and how Mom and Dad used to play the “good cop, bad cop” thing on us. Dad has been a person of few words since we were ---37---. He raised us more by ---38--- than anything else. When he spoke, though, we listened, and he was always mysterious and difficult to understand. There was always a(n) ---39--- meaning that I never got, but Liz always ---40--- to decipher（破解）him. By the time I got to high school, I had wanted a whole bunch of skateboard gear（裝備） and I ---41--- I was too old to ask money from my parents so I worked a burger joint. One day, I was really angry about annoying burgers. I came home huffing and puffing（氣喘吁吁）. Dad saw me and asked me what was the ---42---. I told him that I was fed up with annoying burgers. He said that we all have to ---43--- somewhere, that we may know it now, but the skills we learn even in a burger joint might come I handy later in life. “Who knows, you might end up having to run a ---44 or even own one when you grow up,” said Dad. The ---45--- me down and I kept what he said in mind, even though I didn’t agree with it.
A couple of years later, when I got to college, I worked in a restaurant. During one of the really ---46--- days that we had, we were short on kitchen staff. Our customers were getting impatient and the ---47--- were getting delayed. we were sure any minute something terrible would ---48--- out. I couldn’t stand the ---49--- anymore, so I rolled up my sleeves, got myself a hair net and helped out in the hot kitchen. We caught up the with the orders ---50---. The owner saw what I did and called me over around ---51--- time. He said he was very ---52--- . He raised my salary and made me the assistant manager even though I could only go part-time. That was ---53--- I realized that what my dad said to me all those years before was absolutely true.
I’ve never forgotten what my dad said that. And whenever I have to do something that require new skills, no matter how small or ---54--- it seems, I have a new perspective（看法）that it might help me later on or even right now and I just don’t know it. Experience is everything and it ---55—a lot when you take lessons from it. That’s my life philosophy.
