The story tell us about the British writer, Richard Savage. He was once living in London with money in his pockets. In order to get some food and clothes, he wrote the story of his life and managed to have it published. But not many copies of his books were in the shops, and he was still living a hard life. Because of anxiety(忧虑)and malnutrition(营养不良)， he became very weak and before long he fell , and a doctor was sent for. The doctor was not rich enough, but was literature. He tried his best to cure Savage of his illness and a week later Savage was out of danger. When he finally recovered(重新获得) his , the doctor sent a bill to Savage for his , but poor Savage had no money to pay it. The doctor waited for a month and sent another bill. Receiving no money again, the doctor went to Savage himself.
"You know you owe(欠) your life to me," said the doctor, "and I should some thankfulness from you."
"I agree," said the writer, " you've done a great favour(恩惠) for me and if I'm not ungrateful for your kindness, I'll damage(损坏) my life to you."
With these words he handed the doctor two copies of The Life of Richard Savage.
The doctor took the books home and began to _ them carefully.
"I see I've the life of a great writer," the doctor said to himself with a sense of pride, Maybe this is the only thing I could be really of in my life."
Five years later Savage called on the doctor to pay his bill, only to find that the doctor had already passed away.

Do you want to be successful in everything you do? If so, then ? Here is an example.
There was a farmer who grew corn all his life. Each year he took his corn(玉米) to the market. Then each time his corn was chosen as the and won the first prize.
One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something surprising about how he grew it. The farmer his seed corn to his neighbors.
“How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbors?”the reporter asked. “You know they are taking part in the with you each year.”
“Why, sir,” said the farmer, “didn’t you know? The picks up pollen(花粉) from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field. If my neighbors grow bad corn, cross-polination(异花传粉)will affect(影响) the quality of my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must my neighbors to grow good corn.”
The farmer knows much about the connection of life. His corn cannot improve if his neighbor’s corn doesn’t improve.
As a great man says, “We make a living by what we ; we make a life by what we give.”We can’t live without food, clothes, and many other things. Howerer, a meaningful life is not decided by how much we can get, by how much we can give others. Giving, instead of taking, makes us from other animals. So those who choose to live well must help others to live well, and those who choose to be happy must help others to find in their life.

“Never give up!（放弃）” It is my law(法则) of my life. It has brought me . I learned the law from my life story.

They did not like to hire（雇佣） me because I spoke English. Later, I worked in a small restaurant, cleaning up tables, dishes and sweeping the floor. Life was for the first few years. I worked from 10a.m to 11p.m. I wanted to go to school to learn English, but it was impossible. I couldn’t the schooling(学费).
My father working hard, and reached his goal.(达到目标)
