It is not 1 for a woman like me to go shopping. Why do I say that? Firstly, I have three children to look  2. My husband doesn't even know how to 3 them. I think it's my own fault. I always do all the things myself instead of（而不是） teaching 4. So I feel very 5 every day though I am a homemaker（家庭主妇）. Maybe I think I feel even more tired than my husband. How can I find free time to 6? If I do, how should I do with my three children? The oldest of them is only five years old. Secondly, I am getting much 7. So it's hard for me to find clothes that fit me well. Lastly, and I think it's the most 8. We don't have enough 9 for pretty clothes. We have to raise（养育） so many children with the little money that my husband gains. Oh, how I regret（后悔） that I had so many children that I am living such a 10 life.

    The smart phone(智能手机)company Xiaomi Technology was set up in Beijing in 20 1 0.

Now it has become one of leading mobile phone companies in China. Some people skip work and school to wait in line to buy its main product:Mi phones.

The man behind this craze(狂热)is Lei Jun. The 47-year-old is the co—founder(联合创始人) and CEO of Xiaomi. Lei was born in Xiantao, Hubei, in 1969. At the age of l 8. he entered Wuhan University to study computer science. A book that he read there changed his life. It was Fire n the Valley, which tells the story of the co—founder of Apple, Steve Jobs. Encouraged by the book. the 21-year-old set up a company. But it soon failed because he lacked(缺少)a long—trill plan.

After graduation, Lei joined King soft, a software company. In l 6 years, he became one of the top IT company leaders. But that's not the only thing he wanted. “I had my dream not realized and it was calling for me every night, ”said Lei. At the age of 38, he left Kingsoft and started his own company. This time, he knew what would make a promising new company:following the trends but keeping innovating(创新). He entered the smart phone market.

  Lei is a big fan of the iPhone. But instead of creating a copy of it, he kept thinking about how to make it better.

    At the age of 41, he co—founded Xiaomi. Now,  there are more than l4 million Mi phone users. Lei helped make online shopping popular in China. “People become great because they have dreams, ”said Lei.

    A few years ago, I worked at a church（教堂） and since my son was home schooling, he went with me to the church every day. Most mornings, we'd stop at a local convenience store, getting a chocolate drink for him and a cup of coffee for me.

    The clerk at the store we chose to visit refreshed our lives each day, and so we returned again and again. She had found her own way of enjoying life and her job. I'm not even sure that she was realizing that her energy put a smile on the face of each customer.

    When a customer brought cookies to the counter, any other clerk could have asked, "Would you like some milk with those cookies?" Instead, she inquired, "Would you like a lottery ticket（彩票） with those cookies? "

    She might have asked me if I wanted a donut with my coffee. But instead, she asked, "Would you like some batteries（电池） with that coffee?"

    Yes, life is what you make of it. This clerk's method of dealing with what some think is a boring job, and with the customers she met daily, made the hours in her day more enjoyable. In doing that, she also refreshed the lives of others and made them laugh.

    Sometimes, if my day at the church had been particularly tiring, we'd stop at that store before heading home. We'd giggle（咯咯笑）as we left the store, the clerk's words echoing（回响）behind us. "Would you like some shampoo with that soda?"

Matt jumped into bed. His father sat down beside him.

"What kind of day did you have?" he asked.

"It was a bad day for me," Matt answered. "I had a fight with Ned. The teacher sent a note home about me. And Mom talked about it with me."

"Yes, part of the day was bad," Mr. Gold said. "But there were good parts, too. Now it's time to go to sleep. So, tell me about the best thing today."

Matt smiled. "After school I went fishing," he said. "No one wanted to go with me. So I had to go alone. I didn't think I would have any fun. But I did! I caught a fish!"

"I'm glad you had a good time," Mr. Gold said. "Think about it until(直到)you go to sleep. Happy dreams!"

"Good night, Dad," Matt said.

His father kissed(亲吻)him good night.

Every night, Mr. Gold and Matt have a little talk like this.

Every night, Matt answers the same question. "What was the best thing that happened to you today?"

Every night Matt goes to sleep thinking about the best thing. He has many happy dreams!

Sometimes he has to think hard to find the best thing. Sometimes it is a very small thing. But he always finds one good thing to think about.

Matt's father taught his son a good way to end his day. You may want to try it. If you do, why not begin this every night?
