I had been playing hockey（冰球）for about 10 years. I was always the one sitting at the end of the bench, and   36 got into a game. I went to all the   37 and showed up even when it was so   38 that your ‘breath froze’ and when the otherplayers had decided to stay home. I felt I had   39 enough and thought of quitting.
I finally decided to   40 the news to my mom that I was leaving the team. My mom may have looked like a tiny and quiet lady but on   41 my words, she said, “Remember, ‘A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.’ Your mother didn’t raise   42 , so think about yourself in a   43 way and see yourself as a winner!” So I worked harder than ever at getting in better shape,   44 my shot（投球） accuracy and changing my   45 .
Once in a match, we 46 our first game badly. What’s worse, one of our best players got hurt. I was sitting at my 47 place, at the end of the bench, when the coach came over and told me I was going   48 . I was nervous, excited and terrified all at the same time.
The opposing team was fast and I had to admit I was a little   49 .  But my mom’s words   50 out in my head like a church bell. Instead of being afraid, I was “pumped” and I very quickly found that all my   51 work was paying off.  I was as fast a skater as anyone else on the ice, and I seemed to get the 52 to score. The crowd went quiet. All the time I spent on the ice when everyone had gone home had 53 me for this moment.
Won! I won!
The lesson I learned from my mom’s   54 has stayed with me over the years. I hear them whenever I am faced with a challenge, or whenever I   55 myself.
