Jack is a young man from a very poor family. He works in a small factory and makes 1 money every month. He always feels sad. One day he stands with an old priest(牧师) in a church. He says, “It is really not fair(公平的). Do you know John? He is my best 2. He was a 3 student at school. He 4 did his homework after school. But now he is a successful 5.”
The priest answers, “Now he is quite 6. He always keeps on writing his novels very late in the evening...”
Jack 7 the old priest's words, “Justin is my classmate too. His body was very weak at school. He was usually in 8 because of his sick legs. He couldn't have 9 lessons at all. But now he is a popular player.”
“Oh, I hear in the past he always spent all his time 10 and...”
“Now,” Jack stops him again, “Paul has a big restaurant. At school he had no money to eat beef or chicken.” This time the priest doesn't 11 quickly. But Jack is impatient.
“ 12 don't you say a word? Is it 13 or unfair?”
“I think it is fair. Success is a ladder. If you always put your two 14 in the pockets—and stop trying, you can't arrive at the 15 of success forever. ”
