It was a normal Monday morning at a meeting, and the old headmaster was addressing the

students on important things in life and about   36  ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story went:

    An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the   37    He would get the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street comer and __38  . He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at the same street comer and begged for almost 20 years.

    His house was dirty, and a stench came out of the house and it smelled   39  . The neighbors could not  40   the smell anymore, so they called the police officers to   41   the place. The officers   42   down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of  43  all over the house that he had   44   over the years.

The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a   45  . They waited outside his house in anticipation (預(yù)料) to   46   the good news with him. When he arrived home that evening, he was met by one of the officers who told him that there was no   47 for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a millionaire.

    He said   48   at all; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up as usual, went to the street and continued to beg.

      49  , this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything   50   for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying  51   the things we enjoy doing: commitment(信奉).

    We should remain true to our course, which may mean devoting yourselves to things that people around you would   52   disapprove of. Let nothing distract us from being happy, let nothing else determine our fate, but   53.

    What makes us happy is   54   matters in the end…not what we acquire (獲得).

This particular story is one such lesson that I will never forget. Every time I don't concentrate on course, I get reminded   55   this story.
