Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people.
My father died when I was nine months old. Mom and I lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”
At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that I could walk again if I wanted strongly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school — walking on my own!
When the Great Depression (大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support both of us. At that moment, I decided never to be poor again.
Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I wasn't satisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they asked me an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for many American families. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never ask extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.
Of course mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. But with my mother's support and encouragement, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world — Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income (收入) of $ 1 billion a year.
You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.

    "Face it,Andy.You sold your heart the day you put on that first pair of Jimmy Choo's."That line from the movie The Devil Wears Prada is an example showing how a shoemaker has become famous in the fashion world.

    Jimmy Choos (Zhou Yangjie)was born in Malaysian and he is a Malaysian Chinese,born in 1961 into a family of shoemakers.He created his first pair of shoes at age 11.His family couldn't pay for his schooling,so he dropped out at a young age.He had to work with his father to support the family.But his dream to be a fashion designer never disappeared,so he did all he could to enter an art college and finally took up a position in the fashion world through his talent and willpower.

    Choo graduated from a college in London and had a small workshop there.He hit the international fashion scene when Vogue magazine described his designs in eight pages in 1988.His work was immediately popular and got love and support from Diana,Princess of Wales.

    Jimmy Choo shoes are known for their very high heels(鞋跟)and pointed toes.However,he does some flats and lower﹣heeled shoes for other women.Choo co﹣founded Jimmy Choo Ltd.with Tamara Mellon,UK Vogue editor,but left the company in 2001.

    Jimmy Choo shops have opened around the world,so his designs are easier to get to those who want a designer shoe,and can afford his prices.Choo also has a website where shoppers can view his ready to wear designs.The brand(牌子)of Jimmy Choo has been comparable to top brands,like Channel,LV,etc.But it's still young and has a bright future.

    We can't imagine how hard it is for Choo to stand out in the worldwide fashion! He must have made greater efforts and had more difficulties than others.And so he did.So stop complaining about why good luck isn't always falling on you and devote yourselves to your work now.
