A story about the violinist Fritz Kreisler tells how he once   41    a beautiful instrument he wanted to acquire. When he  42      raised the money for the violin, he returned to   43     it and learned that it had already been sold to a(n)     44      .

He went to the new owner’s home in order to try to   45      him to sell the violin.    46   , the collector said it was one of his prized possessions and he could not let it go. Kreisler felt    47    and turned to leave, but then asked a favor, “May I play the instrument once more    48     it is put away?”

     49   was given and the great musician began to play. The   50     sang out a quality of music which was so beautiful that the collector himself could only listen in   51    . “I have no   52     to keep that to myself,” he said after the musician finished. “The violin is yours, Mr. Kreisler. Take it into world, and let people  53     it.”

You and I are excellent violins-our    54      is meant to be heard.

I want to live my    55    that way-to take it into the world and live it fully. I’d rather burn out than rust out. I’d rather be      56      than die not having done whatever I could.

I’m not talking about     57    ourselves by doing too much. Happiness is never found in overmuch busyness. But it is found in investing our lives in others. Say yes when asked for a hand..    58     to work for a worthwhile organization. Spend an hour with a     59    relative.

In the end, I know that my happiness is not about by my ability or my inability. It is about how much I   60    to others.
