“Are you too stupid to do anything right?” These words — said by a woman to a little boy who was obviously her son — were spoken  26  he had walked away from her. The boy returned, his eyes downcast.
Not a  27  moment, perhaps,   28  small moments last a very long time. And a few words — though they mean  29  at the time to the people who say them — can have great  30  .
I recently heard a story from a man named Malcolm Dalkoff. For the last 24 years he has been a professional  31  . Here is what he told me:
As a boy in Rock Island, Dalkoff was terribly  32  . He had few  33  and no self-confidence. One day, his English teacher, Ruth Brach, gave the class an assignment . The students had been reading To Kill a Mockingbird. Now they were to write their own chapter that would  34  the last chapter of the novel.
Dalkoff wrote his chapter and turned it  35  . Today he can not recall anything  36  about the chapter he wrote, or what  37  Mrs Brach gave him. What he does remember is the four words Mrs Brach wrote in margin（空白）of the paper: “This is  38  writing.”
Four words. They  39  his life.
“  40  I read those words, I had no ideal of who I was or  41  I was going to be,” he said. “After reading her note, I went home and wrote a short story, something I had always been  42  of doing but never believed I could do.”
Over the rest of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to school for Mrs Brach to evaluate. She was  43  , tough and honest. “She was just what I  44  ,” Dalkoff said.
His confidence  45  . Dalkoff believed that none of this would have happened if that woman had not written those four words in the margin of the paper.

Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process．The instructor asked us to list   36  in our past that we felt   37    of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud．
This seemed like a very  38  process, but there' s always some   39 soul in the crowd who will volunteer．The instructor then   40  that we find ways to   41  people, or take some action to right any wrong doings．I was seriously wondering how this could ever  42   my communication．
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my   43  , I remembered an incident from high school．I grew up in a small town．There was a Sheriff   44  of us kids liked．One night, my two buddies(伙伴) and I decided to play a   45   on him．
After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a s．o．b．（畜生）．The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious   46 ．Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office．My friends told the truth but I   47 ．No one ever found out.
Nearly 20 years later．Sheriff Brown's name   48   on my list．I didn't even know if he was still   49 ．Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed．I tried his number．After a few   50 , 1 heard, "Hello?" I said, "Sheriff Brown?" Paused．"Yes．" "Well, this is Jimmy Calkins．"
“And I want you to know that I did it?” Paused．“I knew it!” he yelled back．We had a good laugh and a   51  discussion．His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you   52  your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it   53  all these years．I want to thank you for calling me for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to   54   all the items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It's never too late to   55  the past wrongdoings．
