Always Changing

Jack is leaving, and I’m feeling kind of sad.

You probably don’t know Jack, but you might be lucky enough to_________ someone just like him. He’s been the heart and soul of the office for a couple of years combining _________ professional skills with a sweet and gentle nature.

And now he’s moving on to an exciting new professional _________ . It sounds like it could be the chance of a lifetime, and we’re_________  for him. But that doesn’t make it any easier to say goodbye to him.

Life has a way of throwing these curve(曲线) balls    _________  us. Just when we start to get comfortable with a person, a place or a situation, something comes along to _________  the recipe.

Our ability to cope with change _________  to a great degree, our peace, happiness and contentment in life.

But how do we do that? A friend of mine is fond of reminding us that “survivability depends upon   _________ .” And then there’s Chris the California surf-rat, who once told me that the answer to life’s problems can be _________ in four words: “Go with the flow.”

I'm not exactly sure, but I think Chris was saying that life is a series of _________  —both good and bad. No matter how excellent your skill, there will always be life-influencing factors over which you have no _________  . The truly successful person expects the unexpected, and is prepared to_________ adjustments if the need should arise—as it almost _________  does.

That doesn’t mean you don’t keep trying to make all your  _________   come true. It just means that when things come up that aren’t   _________  in your plan, you work around them—and then you move on.

“Change, indeed, is painful,     _________  ever needful,” said philosopher Thomas Carlyle. “And if memory has its force and worth, so also has  _________  .”

We’re going to miss Jack. But rather than stay on the _________ of our parting, we’ll focus on our hopes for a brighter future—for him, and for us. And then we’ll go out and _________ everything we can to make that future happen. _________  our plans change—again.
