Two weeks earlier, my husband, Russ, had got an early-morning call telling us to evacuate immediately. The wildfire tearing through Northern California had spread and 1 our way. We’d jumped in the car with our cats and a few belongings. For days, we’d moved from hotel to hotel, 2 for news. What finally came wasn’t good. Our house had been right in the fire’s 3 .
Now we’d been given 4 to return. I wasn’t prepared for what awaited us. Our house was nothing but 5 . Photos and my precious collection of inspirational books — all gone.

Ambition is a necessary quality in life. It is the 16 which drives us on to use whatever talent we have got. If we haven’t got some degree of ambition, these talents will not be used for our own and others’ 17 .
Ambition, 18 , can have several faults. First of all, it can be 19 . We may not be able to see the limits of our own abilities, so we do ambitious things that are completely beyond us. Our career masters can see our good qualities and our limitations 20 . They may tell us that we haven’t the ability to deal with people and would not make good businessmen. We refuse to take their 21 . We keep on trying. Many years and many 22 later we are forced to accept their judgement. But what a waste of time our ill-founded ambition has caused us!
Secondly, our ambition can be too concentrated. Our attention is devoted to one   23 aim, such as getting distinctions in a science subject. Everything that may draw us away from this aim is cut out of our lives. In the end we get our distinctions. But what   24 we have caused ourselves in the process! We are isolated beings only caring about a particular examination. And we probably won’t make good scientists. We 25 the breadth of vision necessary for success at a higher level.
Thirdly, our ambition can be limited to lifeless objectives. We want to gain money, or power, or membership of some circles. Persons who feel inferior try to 26 by seeking the respect of others through possession of these artificial signs of worth.
Fourthly, our ambition may be 27 . Instead of directing some of our ambitions towards community improvement, we may exploit members of the community in the interests of self-advancements. In later life we may be ambitious for the success of our children but we regard this success as only a further 28 of our own success.
Ambition is necessary in the lives of individuals—necessary for their own improvement and for the improvement of the community in which they live. But, like all blind forces, it must be 29 if it is not to cause disaster. It must be tightly controlled by the head and the heart. Otherwise ambition may demand too high a price 30 human qualities.

Sunshine Community has been taken care of by the volunteers for a long time. Back in the old days, the community 31 thousands of old people. For the past twenty years, the 32 of selflessness has been passing in the community, whose members fix 33 for the elderly every day.

When we pay attention, we see courage every day. I see it in my classroom when a student 46 her hand and says, “I’m completely lost. Do you know how incredibly 47 it is to say so when you’re pretty sure every one else gets it?”
I recently saw another 48 of ordinary courage in my son Charlie’s preschool. Parents were invited to 49 a music presentation by the kids. You know the 50 twenty-five children singing with fifty-plus 51 in the audience holding up cameras.

Another mother walked by this stressed mom, 54 her head and rolled her eyes with disrespect.
Just then one more mom walked up to this now 55 mom and smiled. “I wasn’t just late. I 56 forgot.” She said, “It’s okay. We’re in the same boat.” The woman’s face 57 and she wiped away a tear. By the time she made it to the corner where the teacher was still 58 her daughter, she looked calm.

It 62 to me that I might not have loved life so if I hadn’t been blind. I don’t mean I would prefer to go without eyes. I 63 mean the loss of them made me more appreciate what I had.
Life asks a continuous series of 64 to reality. The hardest lesson was to 65 myself.
