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

Whenever I'm invited to somebody's house for the first time， I'll take a close look at their bookshelves．What they keep on their shelves，in my eyes，is a reflection（反映） of their personal tastes and interests．The books on a bookshelf tell the story of a life．
My own shelves are a kind of roadmap through my life， telling a chronological tale． First up come my favorite childhood reads， like Watership Down and His Dark Materials． The collection then moves on to teenage things I read in school ﹣ Nineteen Eight﹣Four， The Handmaid's Tale and A Clockwork Orange． Finally， we come out of full﹣time education and enter the real world， and this part is a reflection of my professional（职业的） life， from the first exciting days of work experience to the present．
If you pointed to any book on my shelves， I could name the year I got it， where I was working，and probably where I was living at the time．
___▲____It is an easy way to get to know about his hopes， dreams and interests． And a big part of that story is how we arrange（排列） our books， and get on with them． It's such a personal thing，different from each other． Some want to be with their books in every room， others have them on
shelves， behind glass or simply lining their floors． Each home has a story to tell through the way they live with their books．
It's often said that what we read says something about who we are． The way we fill our bookshelves might also send a message about ourselves． From the pile of books on your bedside table to your well﹣organized shelves， whether we notice it or not， our book collections are telling a story before a single page has been turned．
