The reporter asked the first worker, “What are you doing?” His   41  was to   42  that he was almost a slave, an underpaid bricklayer who spent his days   43  his time, placing bricks on the   44  of one another. The reporter asked the second worker the   45  question. His response,   46  , was quite different. “I’m the   47   person in the world,” he said. “I get to be a part of important and beautiful pieces of   48  ; I help   49  simple pieces of brick into fine and delicate masterpieces.” They were both   50  . The truth is, we see in life what we want to see. If you search for   51  , you’ll find   52  of it. If you want to find   53  with other people, your career, or the world in general, you’ll certainly be able to do so and find life is unfair to you always. But the   54  is also true. If you look for the extraordinary in the   55  , you can train yourself to see it. The second bricklayer sees a magnificent church   56  pieces of brick. The question is, can you?

He stopped right next to me to greet his family.        First he kissed his three children one by one and said, “It’s nice to see you. I missed you so much!” Then he hugged his wife, “I’ve saved the best for last!” giving her the longest, most passionate kiss I ever remember seeing. They stared at each other’s eyes, smiling at one another, while holding both hands. For an instant they reminded me of newlyweds（新婚夫妇）, but I knew by the age of their kids that they couldn’t possibly be.        Full of admiration, I asked, “Wow! How long have you two been married?” “Being together for fourteen years total, married twelve of those.” He replied, without breaking his gaze from his lovely wife’s face. “Well, then, how long have you been away?” I asked. “Two whole days!” “Two days?” I was astonished. By the intensity (热烈) of the greeting, I had assumed he’d been gone for at least several weeks --- if not months. I knew my expression betrayed me, so I turned away my eyes and said quietly, “I hope my marriage is still that passionate after so long!” The man suddenly stopped smiling and looked me straight in the eye. With forcefulness he told me something that left me a different person. “Don’t hope, friend…decide!” Then he smiled again, shook my hand and said, “God bless!” With that, he and his family turned and walked away together. I was still watching that man and his special family walk just out of sight when my friend came up to me and asked, “What are you looking at?” Without hesitation, and with a curious sense of certainty, I replied, “My future!” 61.
