Another person’s enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.

I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia. My father 21me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is 22for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no 23than tomorrow morning.”

My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly 24, and looked me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and 25, “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, 26the smartest one who hasn’t yet found an outlet（释放的途径）for his enthusiasm.”

That statement

began a(n) 27between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my 28as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.

She changed many things. She 29my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat, where my father’s career could be more 30and my brothers and I could be better educated.

When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand 31and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, I 32it, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I

accepted her 33and began to write for local newspapers. I was doing the same kind of 34that great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life’s work later. I wasn’t the 35beneficiary (受益者). My father became the 36man in town. My brothers and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.

What power 37has! When that power is released to support the certainty of one’s purpose and is 38strengthened by faith, it becomes an irresistible（不可抗拒的）force which poverty and temporary defeat can never 39.

You can communicate that power to 40who needs it. This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm.
