Is Started with a Bunch of Anthuriums

My first job out of high school was at a science research center. As a youngster, I was pretty worried by the administrative supervisor（行政主管）. I wished I didn't have to pass her desk every morning. In the first month there, I don't think I ever saw her ______.

I am not sure what encouraged me but one day I decided to bring her flowers. They were bright red anthuriums. As soon as I walked into the office, ______ her the flowers. But then, came the most beautiful smile. It spread across her face slowly and it seemed that the room got a bit ______ too. I remembered my heart pounding out of my chest because I then realized I had certainly not seen her smile before. She ______ me for the flowers and did so every day for as long as the flowers lasted. From then on, she always greeted me with a smile.

Then, it became my ______ to make her smile every day. Some days I'd bring her something I baked, tell a funny story, or invite her to lunch with our colleagues. Then things_____. She began to smile more and talk to people, even when she didn't need to. She just seemed lighter.

Now you would think this ______ was about the administrative supervisor. It's not. It's about how it changed me. I used to be pretty shy but after that day with the anthuriums, I started coming out of my shell too and I learned to smile more. I began to see people ______, you know, actually " seeing" people by looking deeper rather than accepting the superficial（表面的）.

That experience taught me a lesson for life：A loving act of kindness has a beautiful way of helping both the receiver and the giver in ways that we cannot imagine.
