I am fighting fires as the assistant captain (副队长)of a volunteer fire company.

I still remember my first fire. I was the second volunteer on the scene. When I saw the captain, he     1     with the homeowner, who was surely having one of the worst days of her life. At midnight, she was standing outside in the pouring rain, under an umbrella, barefoot, while her house was in flames (在燃烧中). The other volunteer, who had arrived just before me,     2     to go inside and save the homeowner’s dog. The captain then waved me over. He said, “Bezos, I need you to go upstairs past the fire, and get this woman a pair of shoes. But be careful, or you     3     hurt.” So, I went up the stairs, down the hall, past the real firefighters, who were pretty much done putting out the fire, into the master bedroom     4     a pair of shoes.

Now I know what you     5     now, but I’m no hero. [laughter] I carried the shoes downstairs where I     6     the other volunteer with the dog. We took our treasures (珍宝) outside to the homeowner, where, he received much more attention than I. “Thank you so much. I     7     the dog for five years. It has been my family,” she said.

A few weeks later, the company received a letter from the homeowner thanking us for     8     her home. The act of kindness she noted above all others: someone had even gotten her a pair of shoes.

Life is never a smooth ride. Everyone     9     different difficulties some day. When you see that, what will you do?

Here, I will give you a suggestion: don’t wait. Don’t wait until you make your first million to make a difference in somebody’s life. If you have something to do,     10     it now.

Not every day is going to offer us a chance to save somebody’s life, but every day offers us an opportunity to affect one. So get in the game. Save the shoes.
