When I opened it, I read: “ Sweet piece of writing on the Tigers. Keep up the good work.” It was signed by Don Wolfe, the sports editor Because I was a teenager (being paid the grand total of 15 cents a column inch), his words could not have been more inspiring, I kept the letter in my desk drawer until it got old. Whenever I doubted I had the right stuff to a writer,I would reread Don39。s note and walk on air again. Later, when I got to know him, I learned that Don made a habit of writing a quick, encouraging note to people in all walks of life， “ When I make others feel good about themselves, ” he told me, “ I feel good, too.” Over the years, I39。ve Tried to copy Don and write uplifting words. In a world too often cold and unresponsive, such notes bring warmth. Why are positive note writer in such short supply? My guess is that many who shy away from the practice are too selfconscious. They are afraid they will he misunderstood. Thus it may cause troubles and problems. And it sounds insincere on the phont, Also, writing takes time； it is far easier to pick up the phone. The drawback of phone calls, of course, is that they do not last. A note attaches more importance to our wellwishing. It is a matter of record, and our words can be read more than savored (回味 ) and treasured, and they bring strength and love to us. Today I sent a warm fetter to my old don39。t know if it will make his day, but it made my friend Don Wolfe said. “Making oth ers feel good about thenselves me feel good too. ” 56.
