Dear daughters，
Most parents tell their children，"You can be anything you want when you grow up．"I feel the same and I say this often．But I also want you to understand that the dream itself comes from hard work，some good luck and good timing．
Girls，here are some words of wisdom（智慧） as you make your way in the world，from your mama．
1．Be open﹣minded to changing your path（even several times）along the way．
In high school，I wanted to be an official．I left my hometown and went off to college in Washington，DC．There，I discovered that I'm creative，a strong leader and great at marketing．As result，I moved on to be the head of a national organization．Becoming a mother while in that job opened my mind to starting a business．Now I run a successful company that I started up all by myself．
Work out what you are good at and what you are interested in．Keep an open mind and change what you are doing based on what you are learning about yourself．
2．Failure is critical to your success
I won't tell you to feel good about failure．Failure can be heartbreaking．But I will tell you that every failure I've had along the way has absolutely made me better．
Failing the big math exam in high school and going to summer school was embarrassing．I finally passed，and I've never failed an exam again．I learned from that experience to ask for help．Now，I ask for help in business all the time．
I'm proud to be a role model to you as a mom and a company owner，I hope I can help you to believe that you can be anything you want and you can have everything on your list．It will be very glad to watch your lives unfold before my eyes．
Love，
Your Mom

Just at that time， Tom found a man with a lantern coming in the distance． " If I go with that person，I will be able to see well． "he thought．
When the man with a lantern got nearer， Tom found he was coming with a cane（手杖） in his hand．Tom thought this was strange and asked．"Why are you walking so slowly with a cane even when you have a lantern？"
The man said，"You know， I'm blind．That is why I use this cane to walk．"Tom laughed．"Ha， ha， ha， You're blind？ Then why do you carry a lantern？ You don't need a lantern if you can't see．"
The man with the lantern answered， "Yes， I can't see． And this lantern cannot help me， but it can help others in the dark．I know better than anyone else how it feels when you cannot see．"

Complain（抱怨） Politely
Not everything goes the way you want it to． You may go to a restaurant and order a nice meal． But your order is wrong or not cooked properly． You may buy a product that breaks the next day． （1） However， if you speak angrily to people， they will become defensive（自卫的）． Then they are less likely to help you． A more effective （有效的） way to get what you want is to stay calm．
Use polite language and a friendly tone of voice． Start with phrases such as， "I'm sorry to bother you， but…"or "Excuse me， but could you…？" For example， "I'm sorry to bother you， but I ordered potato soup， not vegetable．" Phrasing your complaint as a question also helps． （2） "Could you help me？ I just bought this phone case yesterday， but it's cracked．"
（3） There is no faster way to make someone defensive than by blaming them． Use the phrase， "I know this isn't your fault， but…" or "There has been a misunderstanding．" （4）_____ Blaming people isn't as important as getting a problem fixed!
There are honest mistakes， but at times someone may try to take advantage of you． In that case， don't say "Hey! You're trying to cheat me!" Instead， use the phrase， "I understood that…" For example， "I understood that the service charge was included in the price．" Then give the person a chance to answer．
If you don't get what you want with polite conversation， ask to speak to a manager or supervisor． （5）
A． When trying to correct a problem， don't blame（责备） the person you're talking to．
B． People like to be asked rather than told!
C． But usually， you'll find that polite words and a smile will resolve a situation．
D． These kinds of experiences make you want to complain．
E． These phrases let people know you are only angry at the situation．
Many people do not know what to do in face of a decision，big or small．Most decisions aren't life﹣changers．But often，the decision isn't between this or that； it's between acting or not．If this challenges you，here are some tips．
Jog or ride a bike to nowhere．Just start moving in hopes of leaving the familiar．Walk down every street or path you can find until you lose your way．Then，see where you end up．Remember what it felt like to wonder where you were going？Try to lose yourself more often．It'll make you better at making a decision．
Sit outside without any technology for an hour．Let yourself get bored．Can you hear the birds singing？The wind blowing？Yourself breathing？Try to do this once a week，then every other day，then every day．One of the reasons we find it hard to make better decisions is that we keep getting attracted to new things．A break from the noise will lead you to the decision you need to make．
Do something that scares you．People who have trouble making decisions fear mistakes．Tell someone you love them．Laugh out loud in a public place．Give a speech to a stranger．And when you do this，remember how you feel When you're sacred by a risky situation the next time，tell yourself that you didn't lie．And try to trust the process in the future．
Some of these things may seem silly，but the more you do them，the more you'll control yourself．It doesn't matter where you're going．Just go．Once you start moving，you can always change direction．

One of the biggest mistakes a person can make is to try not to make mistakes． As you make decisions in your life， you will very likely make some mistakes． But making mistakes is a big part of how you gain（获得） experience．
A simple example． You do poorly on a test because you didn't study hard enough． One bad test is not the end of the world， but it can quickly teach you that if you don't study， you won't do well．
Mistakes sometimes lead to arguments（争论）between people． But if you learn to understand things from another person's point of view， you will be able to learn very quickly from the mistakes you make and the mistakes you think other people have made． You can turn mistakes into opportunities（机会）．
For example， if you lean to understand others' feelings and problems， you will understand the people you work with much better instead of getting angry． And you will learn to talk about problems and be more patient with people you don't agree with﹣a friend， or a mate in your workroom or company．
So next time you think you've made a mistake， stop and ask yourself what you've learned from it， and what you will do differently in the future．
Show me the person in the room who has made a lot of mistakes， and I'll show you the person who has probably learned a lot．

If you understand others， you will be more patient the people you （4） with． If you make a mistake next time， ask yourself what to do differently in the future． |
| Conclusion： Mistakes are just a part of （5） ．Learn from mistakes． |
