There is always something unexpected in our life. I find it humorous sometimes that even the most ordinary thing can have an 1 on us.
My wife, daughter, and I moved into our home nine years ago and we 2 a lot of time and energy working in the yard to get it look like what it does today. We called this area our "rock garden" because there were so many rocks. We did the best we could to make the yard 3 . Then, we started to grow plants and flowers and 4 them carefully.
Last summer I walked to the end of the rock garden and found a tiny little plant that I could not immediately tell what it was. I knew I didn't plant it and Denise said that she didn't 5 . We decided to let it continue growing until we could 6 what it was.
Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the mystery (神秘的) plant, I found it grow taller. It appeared to be a Sunflower. As I pulled rocks from the area, I noticed something 7 . The Sunflower didn't start where I saw the stalk (茎) begin. It actually began under a big rock and grew under and around it to 8 the sun.
Suddenly I realized something. " 9 a tiny little Sunflower has the ability of overcoming a big rock standing in its way of developing, we also have the ability of doing the same thing." Like the Sunflower, it knew it had the ability to overcome difficulties.
Stand tall like the Sunflower and take 10 in who and what you are and the environment will begin to support you. You will find a way to go under or around big difficulties in order to achieve your goal.
