On my first job, I worked as a sports editor for a small newspaper. I never got a letter from my readers, so I was 1that there was an envelope on my desk one morning. From the envelope, I could see it was from a most popular newspaper.
When I opened it, I found a 2 and it read, "You did a good job. Go on!"
The note was signed by Mr. John, a famous sports editor. As I was a green hand, his words made me 3. After that, I kept the note in my desk drawer. Whenever I doubted 4I had the ability to be a good editor, I would read John's note and become 5again.
Later, when I made friends with Mr. John, the note writer, I learned that he often wrote notes to 6young people. "When I make others feel happy," he told me, "I feel happy, too."
7, why are there few note writers like John in our life? In my opinion, many people are afraid that they cannot be well understood. Also, writing takes more time and it is 8to pick up the phone. The problem with phone calls is that they cannot last a long time, but a note is a good way of 9and our words can be read more than once.
So, when you find some people around you need 10, please write a note of encouragement to bring them more confidence. Maybe, you are not sure what will happen, but remember Mr. John's words--making others feel happy makes you happy, too.
