Mark Gibson is a former gymnastics coach who once worked with many excellent athletes. He often tells a wonderful story about a 15-year-old 　16 girl, Cindy, whose attitude brought out the best in everyone.

Cindy wasn’t a great 　17 , but when she was in the gym, everyone complained less, worked harder, and, not 　18 , achieved more. Cindy was such a powerful motivator 　19 she could see nothing. When it was her turn to do the vault（跳馬）, mother would also 　20 alongside her, and tell her how close she was to the vault. When her mom said, “Vault!”, Cindy would reach out and jump, 　21 her mother and herself.

Cindy loved the sport and kept 　22 because she and her mom refused to be defeated by her 　23 . Mark called her the most 　24 member of the team, not because of her 　25 ability, but because of her heart and because she 　26 a standard of perseverance(堅持) and courage that inspired others to get more out of themselves. Everyone who 　27 her work hard to be the best 28 how much more they could get out of themselves.

This is leadership---leadership by 　29 . And we see this sort of leadership not only in 　30 but also in families and in the workplace. Often the most important members of the team are not the 　31 , most skilled, or most powerful. Instead, their 　32 is in their attitude and their ability to inspire and 　33 others with their optimism, enthusiasm, and determination.

People who know how to get the best out of themselves get the best of others.

There’s no doubt that Cindy’s 　34 has a great effect on her teammates. A person’s personality matters most because it comes from within and does not depend on 　35 alone.

I was growing tired of helping the numerous people who lost their way and parked in front of my house. Almost every night I was　 1 during a good night’s sleep to help someone passing through. Many times I was taken for granted by penniless motorists who did not 　 2 thank me for the help they received and some even 　 3 that I didn’t do more.

One day, a young man with a-week-old beard 　 4 out of a broken-down automobile. He had no money and no food. He asked if I could give him some work,　 5 him gasoline and a meal. I told him that 　 6 he wanted to work he could cut the grass, but　 7 the work wasn’t necessary.

Though sweaty and hungry, he worked hard.　 8 working all day, he sat in the shade and rested. I 　 9 him for his work and gave him　 10 money he needed. I then offered him a little extra money for a task particularly well done, but he　 11

I never saw him again. He probably 　 12 I helped him out that day,　 13 that is not the way it was. I didn’t help him; he helped me. He helped me to 　 14 in people again. He helped me to once 　 15 want to do something for those who are in 　 16 . I wish I could thank him for restoring some of my faith in the 　 17 goodness of others and for giving me back a little of the optimism（樂觀） I had 　 18 . Because of him, I once again felt part of a golden chain of 　 19 that binds us to others.

I 　 20 have fed his body that day, but he fed my soul.
