Because of his 32 work, he owned many restaurants in New Jersey. He was 33 his achievements and what he could 34 for his family.

　　When I was graduating from college, Dad told me he decided to 35 the restaurants and retire. "If you are graduating, my 36 is over. I have 37 my children and provided for all of you. I am going to 38 ."

　　"Great, but what will you do? I 39 know you cooking in the kitchen and serving customers. I can't imagine you doing anything else," I said.

　　"I am going to play golf!" he 40 .

　　"Golf? You have never played golf. I never heard you mention golf," I was 41 .

　　And then Dad 42 to play golf. He taught my brother and me the 43 and shared his interest with us. Dad would look at us and say, "If you live your life as you play the game of golf, you will be 44 ."

　　He repeated often, "When you get to the green, stay focused and hit straight down the fairway (平坦球道). Don't 45 anything else, and just know where you want to put the ball. Do this and you will 46 your goals."

　　Dad wanted us to have 47 and to stay focused on them to achieve 48 . He also wanted us to 49 ourselves and take time to have fun with friends and family.
