Whatever misfortune you face, just hold up your head and face it with a smile! I got to know this from a musical soul.

The other day I was feeling quite 41 , having just been laid off from my job. With so many 42 to pay, I was wondering what was going to happen to my family. I got off the bus when I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the 43 . I walked a bit slower, trying to find out where it was coming from. Through the 44 I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a box next to her. She was singing songs about love and her sweet voice 45 me a bit. Then I stood there watching her playing, thinking that it must take 46 to perform on her own in front of hundreds of people she didn’t know. She might have felt my 47 for she occasionally looked in my direction. By now I was telling myself that I could at least tell her how good she sounded. I walked 48 and put some money in her box and she expressed her thanks with a smile on her face. I asked her 49 , ―Why are you playing the piano in the middle of this crowded place?‖ She explained to me that she sees so many 50 people in the world that she is trying to relieve the pain by 51 motivational (激励的) music. Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, ―I have been going through a 52 time lately, but you’ve made me 53 again.‖ ―I’m happy that I could be 54 to you,‖ she replied. ―Why are you so sad?‖ I told her my story and said, ―I’m not so 55 about what to do….‖ ―You see, here’s the 56 ,‖ she responded. ―When you were walking, your head was down.‖ She looked me in the eyes and went on, ―Don’t look defeated, because 57 comes in different ways and if your head is down you might never see it. You should 58 more … lift your head up.‖ I was really 59 by what she said! I did hold my head up and soon got through the difficult time.

Revolutionary TV Ears

TV Ears has helped thousands of people with various degrees of hearing loss hear the television clearly without turning up the volume and now it’s better and more affordable than ever! With TV Ears wireless technology, you set your own headset volume, while other TV listeners hear the television at a volume level that’s comfortable for them. You can even listen through the headset only and put the TV on mute(静音) if the situation calls for a quiet environment — maybe the baby is sleeping. Or perhaps you are the only one who is interested in listening to the ballgame.

TV Ears patented technology includes a revolutionary noise reduction car

tip, not used in any other commercially available headset. This tip reduces outside noise so that television dialogue is clear and understandable. Get the technology that has proven to help the most demanding customers. That’s why TV Ears has earned the trust and confidence of audiologists(听觉学家) nationwide as well as world-famous doctors. Doctor Recommended TV Ears! ―My wife and I have used TV Ears almost daily for the past two years and find them a great help in our enjoyment of television. As a retired ear doctor, I heartily recommend TV Ears to people with normal hearing as well as those with hearing loss.‖ — Robert Forbes, M. D. , CA
