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
