　　27

　　. He never criticized us, but used

　　28

　　to bring out our best. He’d say, “If you pour water on flowers, they flourish (繁盛). If you don’t give them water, they die.” I

　　. You know what you want. Go fulfill (完成) it.”

　　As

　　43

　　turned out, my little publication went on to become Student, a national

　　44

　　for young people in the U.K. My wife and I have two children, and I’d like to think we are bringing them up in the same way Dad

　　45

　　me.
