25 in the new environment again.
Throughout the years of changing 26 , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood — my mother. For both my 27 and I, she was the cook, maid and teacher. She played these roles while 28 some type of part-time job. Leaving a promising career is just one of the 29 which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so.
30 she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother, 31 , managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and 32 .
This probably sounds like a depressing way to live, 33 with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability (无能) to 34 a career or establish a home. But it was not for my mother. She turned this 35 into adventure for us all! Each relocation (变换位置) was a
chance to 36 another part of the world. My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood. Each new house was a 37 to rearrange furniture, make curtains and 38 pictures. Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.
No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a 39 attitude.She always had strength in the face of struggle and change. My mother was so 40 all those years during my childhood — she was my island in a sea of change. She is my hero.

A
Open Letter to an Editor
I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently — one who works for you. In fact, he’s one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.
Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume (简历) and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues, approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I’m sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment (分工), and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you’ve given
him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.
So why is he looking for a way out?
He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be
pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.
The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how
long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.
He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he’s doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That’s what you want for him, too, isn’t it?
So your reporter has set me thinking.
Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists — everyone — is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can’t do it,
they’ll find someone who can.
