Letting go of success

  I want to make the most of every day. And, like most people, I've__41__ that the best way to do it is to let go of past failures. But that's not all. One can never fully __42__ today while thinking too much about past successes, either. People never __43__ while resting comfortably on their laurels (荣誉). The __44_ is that sometimes our successes hold us back more than our failures!

  I once __45__ a story about the Oscar owner, actor Clark Gable. A friend __46__ Gable one afternoon at the actor's home. She brought along her __47__ son, who was playing happily with toy cars on the floor. He__48__ he was racing those cars around a great track, which in __49__ was an imaginary circle around a golden statue (雕像). The small statue the boy played with was actually the Oscar Clark Gable __50__ for his performance in the 1934 movie ItHappenedOneNight.

  When his mother told him the time had come to __51__, the little boy asked the actor, “Can I have this?” __52__ to the Oscar.

  “Sure, ” he smiled. “It's yours.”

  The horrified mother __53__. “Put that back immediately!”

  Giving the child the golden statue, Clark Gable said, “Having the Oscar around doesn't mean anything to me;   __54__it does.” The actor seemed to know that past success could be a __55__ hammock (吊床) upon which he may be tempted to__56__, rather than a springboard setting him to begin a new start.

  You may have learned to let go of past __57__ and mistakes in order to free the present. But will you forget past successes and achievements in order to free the __58__? Will your past be a springboard or a restful hammock?

  “I like the __59__ of the future better than the history of the past,” said Thomas Jefferson. I __60__. After all, the future, not the past, is where the rest of your life will be lived.
