(2025·河南郑州·高三检测)After flying all night, I was tired as I arrived in Denver to hold an event on positive thinking. As I entered the lecture hall, Dr. Fred Vogt asked me, "Do you know about the Make - A - Wish Foundation?" "Yes," I replied. "Well, a 17 - year - old girl Amy Graham has been diagnosed as having terminal (晚期的) cancer. Doctors gave her three days. Her dying wish was to attend your lecture."
I was shocked. I felt a combination of awe and doubt. I couldn't believe it. I thought kids who were dying would want to go see Disneyland, or suchlike. Why would a kid with only a few days to live want to spend their final days listening to a motivational speaker? Suddenly my thoughts were interrupted...
"Here's Amy." Before me stood a girl wearing a bright red hat to cover her head, which was bald from all of the treatments. Her weak body was a bit bent. She said, "My two goals were to graduate from high school and to attend your lecture. My doctors didn't believe I could do either and they didn't think I'd have enough energy. I have to rely on my parents now."
Tears welled in my eyes; I was choked up. My mind was being shaken. I cleared my throat and smiled, "Thanks for wanting to come." We hugged, wiped our eyes and separated.

That Sunday afternoon 1 held the workshop that Amy and her parents attended. The audience was packed to owerflowing with over a thousand attendees eager to learn，grow and become more fully human.I humbly asked the audience if they wanted to learn a healing process that might serve them for life. From the stage it appeared that everyone's hand was raised high in the air. I taught the audience how to vigor-ously (用力地) rub their hands together, separate them by two inches and feel the healing energy. Then I paired them off with a partner to feel the healing energy from themselves to another, explaining that eve-ryone had healing potential to support others.

At that point an idea struck me．I said to the audi-ence，“This morning I was introduced to Amy Graham，a 17-year-old. I want to bring her up here and let you all send healing life energy toward her.”Supported by her father，Amy stepped onto the stage，looking frail from an absolute lack of exercise. She talked about what she was suffering from and her final wish to be at this workshop. Touched by her story，the audience spontaneously warmed up their hands and engaged in the simple exercise，after which they gave her a tearful standing ovation.
With a round of applause，Amy’s dad led her off the stage. At that moment，the workshop became more than just a lecture on positive thinking—it showed the power of hope and the resilience of the human spirit. Af-ter the workshop concluded，attendees lingered，sharing stories and exchanging contact information. Many ap-proached Amy and her parents，offering words of en-couragement. It was clear that something extraordinary had taken place—a blend of hope，belief，and the cour-age to confront adversity with positivity. Before leaving，Amy thanked me for the unexpected invitation，which was a real bonus for her and gave her the healing power beyond physical remedies.
