　　It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.

　　Over the phone his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories flashed through his mind as he sat quietly remembering his childhood.

　　“Jack, did you hear me?”

　　“Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It’s been so long since I thought of him. I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said.

　　“Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d recall the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’, as he put it,” Mom told him.

　　“I told that old house he lived in,” Jack said.

　　“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man’s influence in your life,” she said.

　　“He’s the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldn’t be in this business but for him. He spent much time teaching me things he thought were important… Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral.”

　　Busy as he was, Jack kept his word. He caught the next flight to his hometown. The funeral was small and uneventful. Mr. Belser had no children, and most of his relatives had passed away.

　　The night before the had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture… Jack stopped suddenly.

　　“What’s wrong, Jack?” his Mom asked.

　　“The box is gone,” he said.

　　“What box?” Mom asked.

　　“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he’d ever tell me was ‘the thing I value most’,” Jack said.

　　It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box, He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.

　　“Now, I’ll never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said sadly.

　　Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. The return address caught his attention. “Mr. Harold Belser,” it read.

　　Jack tore open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack’s hands shook as he read the note inside.

　　“Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It’s the thing I valued most in my life.” A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, and tears filling his eyes, Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it.

　　Inside he found these words carved: “Jack, Thanks for your time! Harold Belser.”

　　“Oh, My God! This is the thing he valued most…”

　　Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days. “Why?” his assistant asked.

　　“I need some time to spend with my son,” he said.

　　61. Why did Jack think Mr. Belser died years ago?

　　Protect yourself against threats

　　Lately, the world seems a lot darker. And threats can be anywhere – even on our own street corners. Experts say we should arm ourselves with street smarts, situational awareness and basic defensive moves. Anyone can benefit from knowing a few simple moves to stay better protected. We asked self-defense experts familiar with fighting for one favorite move they recommend that everyone learn. The following are their tips – from defensive moves to using your body weight to make it harder to be taken.

　　1. Defensive kick

　　Before even teaching defensive measures, Avital Zeisler, creator of the Soteria Method self-defense program, first preaches the importance of situational awareness. Paying attention to your surroundings is paramount, she said. But if you should find yourself caught off guard, one of her top protective moves – pretty much a good one in anybody’s book – is a defensive push kick. Target the groin, she said, and use your hip to thrust your foot forward in a kick. Drive the ball of your foot into the attacker’s groin, the idea being to push the attacker back. She suggests the more conventional groin kick with the top of the foot as another option, but pushing back is preferred if you’re trying to keep the attacker at bay.

　　2. Hammer fists

　　Use arms to protect yourself with this basic move, suggests hand-to-hand combat expert Zeisler, who launched a site for her tips and workouts. You try and hit the attacker in the face, back of the head or groin, depending on what angle the attacker is facing. Use the meaty side of your fist to strike out, and twist your body to slam your fist into the attacker. Use a downward motion to drive the side of your fist down on the attacker’s face. If the attacker doubles over(弯腰), strike again in the back of the neck. Think of banging on a door, Zeisler said.

　　3. Target the Adam’s apple and jugular

　　Hitting the most vulnerable part of the attacker as quickly – and with as much power – as possible is Tony Schiena’s top tip. Schiena provides counterterrorism training and defensive tactics through the Multi Operational Security Agency Intelligence Co. “This area is the most exposed and unprotected by cartilage or bone,” he noted. “A strike can easily damage or crush the Adam’s apple, causing suffocation, and even a light blow can temporarily disrupt breathing, giving enough of a shock to allow escape.” And, he added, “A high heel or long fingernails can also be used as a weapon.”

　　4. Lower your center of gravity

　　A bear-hug attack brings with it a dangerous potential for an attacker to control and lift your body. “Once the attacker controls your body, they can lift you and carry you away,” said Ross Cascio from Krav Maga Worldwide, which runs self-defense fighting programs. To fight back, you should make yourself “heavy” so it’s harder to be dragged to a second location. Bend your legs, and drop the level of your hips, similar to a squat. Sit slightly back and lean into the attacker with your head up, not forward. This lowers your center of gravity, making your body tougher to lift.

　　5. Create space to escape

　　Cascio tells his students to remember the phrase “base and space” to help maneuver an escape. “Space” means creating distance from the attacker. With your center of gravity, or “base”, low, strike vulnerable areas with your fists in a side-to-side motion. For example, send strikes to the groin with your hands or fists, or to the head with your elbows if the attacker is behind you. He teaches Krav Maga students to hit the groin first, in aggressive, side-to-side motions, which also makes it harder to grab the defender. “It’s more difficult to hold on to someone who is constantly wriggling than it is to hold on to someone who is static,” he said. Krav Maga students are taught to recognize when sufficient space has been created to turn and fight.

　　Right after the Second World War, Germany was in ruins. Almost all the houses, factories and schools were destroyed. Plenty of people were homeless as well as jobless. Worse still, the supply of water and electricity was often cut off in the city. Two American journalists interviewed a German family living in the basement. The husband was disabled from the war and the wife was just dismissed from a clothing company. Worse still, there were bills for them to pay—four children to care for and food to buy. Life was hard for them at that time.

　　After the interview, the journalists chatted with each other on the way back to the company.

　　“Do you think the Germans could rebuild their homeland?”

　　“Absolutely.”

　　“But I can’t see any hope for the country at all. How can you be so certain about that?”

　　“Have you noticed what they put on the table in the basement? There was a vase of flowers. A nation, suffering at such moment, hasn’t forgotten about flowers. It shows that hopes are not lost. They are still able to dream. A nation with hope can create miracles. They are sure to be able to rebuild their homeland.”

　　I agree dreams can change one’s fate, because a man who can dream will overcome any difficulties and live his dream. Take my friend Tom for example. In Senior One, he was always dreaming of joining our school basketball team. At the beginning almost everyone persuaded him out of his dream because he was no more than 1.65 meters tall. However, he didn’t lose heart. With determination, he devoted himself to practicing and became skillful. Now he is a successful player in the Team.

　　From my perspective, dreams play a vital part in changing my life. To realize my dream, I will focus my effort on studies. Additionally, when confronted with failure, I choose never to give up. Last but not least, developing such skills as problem-solving ability and communication skill can make for my success.
