One day, three turtles decided to have a party. So they went into a cafe and ordered three cups of coffee. However, the lovely weather suddenly turned into heavy rain. The oldest turtle said to the youngest one, “Go home and get the umbrella.”

    “I will, if you don't drink my coffee.” the youngest answered.

    “Of course! We won't drink your coffee!” the other two turtles said. The youngest turtle then went to the door to leave. Time flew by quickly and two years passed. The two turtles were still at the table waiting. The oldest turtle said to the other one, “Well, I guess he isn't coming back, so we can drink his coffee.”

    At that moment, a voice came from outside the door. It was from the youngest turtle. “Oh, no! If you drink my coffee, I won't go.” he said.

    “Everything happens for the best, (一切都会变好的)" my mother said, whenever things weren't going my way. "Don't worry. One day your luck will change."

    After I had finished my college education, I discovered that Mother was right.

    I had decided to try for a job in radio. I wanted to host a sports program. I went to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station. But I got turned down every time. In one station, a kind lady said my problem was that I hadn't got enough experience. "Get some work in a small station and work your way up, "she said.

    I went back home. I couldn't get a job there, either. I felt really down. “Your luck will change, " Mom said to me. I tried another radio station in lowa. But the owner told me he had already had someone.

    As I left his office, I asked, "How can someone be a sports announcer(播音员)if he can't get a job in a radio station?" I was waiting for the lift when I heard the man call, "What did you mean? Do you know anything about football?" He put me in front of a microphone(麦克风)and asked me to try to imagine that I was giving my opinion on a football game.

    I succeeded!

    On my way home, Mom's words came back to me, "One day your luck will change, Son. And when it happens, you'll feel doubly good because of all the hard work you've done." At that moment I knew just what she meant.

17-year-old Brennan Agranoff, a colorblind boy, started his custom (定做的) sock business in middle school, with a little money he got from his parents. Up till now, he has sold over $1 million worth of socks online in the last four years.

Brennan thought of the idea for his custom sock company at just 13 years old. He was playing in a high-school basketball game in his hometown, and noticed that many kids of his age were wearing the same white Nike sport socks. The boy told himself if these white simple socks were so popular with kids, then some cool custom designs (设计) would surely be more popular.

But the boy didn't tell his parents about the business idea immediately. He spent six months researching things, like printing machines and technology and writing out a business plan. When he had everything planned out, he asked his parents for some money." They thought the idea was a little out there," Brennan recently told CNN Money, but he kept pushing, and finally got a $3, 000 from his parents to start his company. Then he began to work on his own designs. Though he was colorblind, it didn't stop him and he has created over 200 kinds of designs now.

Business was slow the first year, but then Brennan started pushing his own brand(商标)HoopSwagg socks on the Internet. Orders soon started coming in in large numbers, and HoopSwagg became a popular brand among custom sock lovers. Right now, people can find his designs on HoopSwagg website, Amazon and eBay.

Four years after starting his business, Brennan has achieved great success while balancing(平衡) school, housework and his social life. And he says he loved every minute of it.

"Have you had your dinner yet？Now, please listen to me. I'm Gao Gao, and I'll sing Shanghai opera for you. "

With this line, it is just three months after Gao began her online broadcast（直播）. Then the Shanghai opera actress attracted（吸引）, 000 new fans. She is happy about the growing number. But there is some even better news：Many of her fans are young people.

Most Shanghai opera lovers are grey﹣haired. As they continue to age, fewer and fewer of them are able to watch live（现场的） performances in theaters. Gao was concerned about it after her first public performance. "Are many young people born with a natural dislike for Shanghai opera？"Gao once asked herself.

This past summer, Gao started to broadcast Shanghai opera online. Few people took an interest in her shows. For two hours, only about 200 people went into her broadcast. Gao was a little sad, but she didn't give up. She thought hard about how to attract young people.

Gao hit upon a few good ideas. She sang some popular songs in the Shanghai dialect（方言）. She also performed some Shanghai opera classics online. Besides, she always reads the messages from her fans. They helped her to do better. Her hard work finally paid off.

After Gao's success, other Shanghai opera actors also started to bring their shows to the Internet. More and more young people are now enjoying Shanghai opera.
