My daughter was having trouble recently deciding on what to major in at college, so she asked for my _________. I told her the one thing I wish that I had been told at her age: “Find a _________ that you love and you will never work a day.” I didn't know how to answer, though, when she asked me what she should do if she had to take a job that she _________.

That question brought back a lot of _________ of jobs that I had over the years. I remembered one in particular. My young family was _________. We had no money, and there were no good _________ to be had in the area. My brother, _________, got me a job at a local lumber mill (木材场). The work was hard and meant constant pain for my back. Hours were spent loading and stacking (码放) wood. The pay was very _________. In the winter the skin on my fingers bled from the cold, dry air. In the several years I worked there, many people left. Only those of us who had families to support didn't leave to _________ something better.

Still, I also remembered singing to myself while working. I remember as I pushed the lumber carts, glancing out the window and __________ watching the leaves changing in the fall. I remembered how a __________ sandwich tasted like the greatest meal in the world after hours of hard work. I remembered being grateful for this job so I could __________ my family. Remembering all this gave me the answer I needed for my daughter. “Just __________ your love to your job then, sweetheart,” I said. “If you can't do what you love, then __________ what you do.”

In this life we work to __________ but we live to love. Without love, work is drudgery (苦差事). Yet, with love, work is joy.
