13.Always ChangingJack is leaving,and I'm feeling kind of sad.
You probably don't know Jack,but you might be lucky enough o(21)Asomeone just like him.He's been the heart and soul of the office for a couple of years combining(22)Aprofessional skills with a sweet and gentle nature.
And now he's moving on to an exciting new professional (23)C.It sounds like it could be the chance of a lifetime,and we're(24)Bfor him.But that doesn't make it any easier to say goodbye to him.

Our ability to cope with change(27)D 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(28)C."And then there's Chris the California surf-rat,who once told me that the answer to life's problems can be(29)Ain four words:"Go with the flow."
I'm not exactly sure,but I think Chris was saying that life is a series of (30)Aboth good and bad.No matter how excellent your skill,there will always be life-influencing factors over which you have no(31)C.The truly successful person expects the unexpected,and is prepared to(32)Badjustments if the need should arise-as it almost (33)Ddoes.
That doesn't mean you don't keep trying to make all your(34)Acome true.It just means that when things come up that aren't (35)Din your plan,you work around them-and then you move on.
"Change,indeed,is painful,(36)Bever needful,"said philosopher Thomas Carlyle."And if memory has its force and worth,so also has (37)C."
We're going to miss Jack.But rather than stay on the(38)Bof our parting,we'll focus on our hopes for a brighter future-for him,and for us.And then we'll go out and (39)Aeverything we can to make that future happen.(40)Cour plans change-again.
