Fill in the Blanks LL Chapter 32 GapfillOnline version A gapfill based on Chapter 32 of The Last Lecture by John E 1 message fathom it fiancée won't phenomenal identify make incredible images graduate marriage American complaining TOO MANY people go through life about their problems ? I've known some terrific non - complainers in my life . One was Sandy Blatt , my landlord during school . ? Sandy had been a athlete , and at the time of the accident , he was engaged to be married . He didn't want to be a burden to his so he told her , ? I met Sandy when he was in his thirties , and he just wowed me with his attitude . He had this non - whining aura about him . He had worked hard and become a licensed counselor . He got married and adopted children ? . My favorite non - complainer of all time may be Jackie Robinson , the first African to play Major League Baseball . He endured racism that many young people today couldn't even . I used to have a photo of Jackie Robinson hanging in my office , and it saddened me that so many students couldn't him , or knew little about him . Many never even noticed the photo . Young people raised on color TV don't spend a lot of time looking at blackand - white . That's too bad . There are no better role models than people like Jackie Robinson and Sandy Blatt . The in their stories is this : Complaining does not work as a strategy . We all have finite time and energy . Any time we spend whining is unlikely to help us achieve our goals . And us happier .
