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.

During the Warring States Period(战国时期), there lived a man called Zou Ji. One day he put on beautiful clothes and a hat, and looked at himself. He asked his wife, "Between me and Mr. Xu, who is more handsome?"

His wife said, "Of course, you are far more handsome!" Zou Ji could not believe what he heard, as Mr. Xu was widely known in this country for his handsome looks.

He then asked a concubine(妾), "What do you think?" His concubine said, "How can Mr. Xu be compared with you, sir?"

Two days later, a guest came to visit, and Zou Ji asked him the same question. The guest also said, "Mr. Xu is not as handsome as you."

A few days later, Zou Ji met Mr. Xu and compared himself with Mr. Xu secretly. Then he found Mr. Xu was better. But why did all the other people think he was more handsome?

From doubt to being sure, Zou Ji realized his wife preferred him, his concubine feared him and his guest needed his help. So with this thought, Zou Ji bravely went to meet the King of Qi and shared this with him. To his surprise, the King of Qi then added a new requirement: those who could speak to him about his mistakes face to face would receive a top prize; those who could write a letter of offering him some ad vice would receive a middle prize; those who openly criticized(批评) him would receive a small prize as well. Then the whole state followed it

One day, a crow (乌鸦) flew past a lake. Looking at the lake, he could hardly1 his eyes—he saw the most beautiful animal he knew! It was a swan (天鹅) whose feathers (羽毛) were as white as snow. She was enjoying the sunshine on the2 lake. And it3 that the other birds around also liked to stay with her. 

When the crow looked at his own black feathers, he was a little sad. "Why can the swan have such4 feathers, but not me?" said the crow. "What should I5 my feathers?" He thought about it over and over again. 

Then, the crow decided to do something to6 white feathers, too. From that day on, the crow began to live like the swan. He7 his home from the forest to the lake. He also started to eat water plants like the swan. He tried his best to learn to talk, fly and dance with the swans, just to8 like this nice creature. He9 his feathers so much that he washed them every day, 10 that they would turn white some day. He11 went to different rivers and ponds to wash his feathers because he thought the water in this lake was not good enough for his great plan. 12 he washed them so hard, his feathers were still black. 

As he only ate living things in the water, he soon got thinner and thinner. A few days later, the crow died 13 . So don't always follow14 , or you will be the one who gets hurt. Everyone is15 in the world. Just be yourself!
