“That night be wrote a seven-page paper
40 his goal of someday owning a horse ranch （大牧场）. He wrote about his dream in great

“When he received his paper, he found that there was a big red ‘F’ on the front page with a note
44 , ‘see me after class.’”
“The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, ‘Why did I receive an F?’”
“The teacher said, ‘This is a（an）

“Finally, after a week, the boy handed in the same paper, making no

“I told you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot

He added, “That
52 teacher came to my ranch. Before leaving, he said, ‘During those years I
53 a lot of kids’ dreams. 54 , you didn’t give up yours.
Don’t let anyone steal your dream. Follow your
55 , no matter what.
