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

After leaving school for many years, a group of graduates (毕业生) visited their teacher. All of them complained about problems and stress in their work and life.
The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large bottle of coffee and many kinds of cups﹣china (瓷), plastic and glass. He told them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in their hands, the teacher said, "If you noticed, all the nice﹣looking and expensive cups had been taken, but the simple and cheap ones had been left behind. Although it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source (根源)of your problems and stress. In fact, the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. It is just a tool to contain (容纳) what we drink."
What all of them really wanted was coffee, not the cups, but they all went for the best cups. And then they began to watch others' cups. Life is the coffee; jobs, money and the social position are the cups. The cups we have do not change the quality of our life.
Sometimes, if we only pay attention to the cup, we will fail to enjoy the coffee.

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.

Last summer a snowstorm hit a small town nearby. I saw, in the local newspaper, a picture of a young woman, a little boy and a younger standing in front of a totally destroyed(摧毁的) house, eyes wide open with fear. I noticed their clothing closely matched ours. This would be a good chance to teach my children to help those unlucky ones.
I their situation to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Martin, and encouraged the boys to donate some of their less favorite toys. My little daughter, Meghan, quietly when the boys piled up the old toys. After a while, Meghan walked up with Lucy, her much-loved doll, hugged tightly(紧紧抱在) in her arms. She put her round little into Lucy’s, giving her a final kiss, and then put her down on top of the others. “Oh, honey”, I said, “you don’t have to give Lucy. You love her so much.”
Meghan nodded, trying to hold back her tears(眼泪). “Lucy makes me happy, Mummy. Maybe she’ll make that little girl happy, too.”
The boys watched in surprise as their baby sister put Lucy in the . When I stared(凝视) at Meghan, thinking over my donation, they went, without a word, to their room and both with their loved items. Martin thought for a short while, then looked over at Meghan and put his model car next to Lucy. Amazed, I took my old jacket out of the box, and put in it a new one I had bought the week before, hoping the young woman would it as much.

It's late evening in the middle of the winter. The snow is deep, but off I go into the wild.Suddenly, I hear it: the howl(嚎叫) of wolves. Excitedly, I walk faster in the direction of the howling.
I've been working as a volunteer wolf tracker in Yellowstone National Park for over a year. It's my job to follow wolves to record information about them. Like wolves, however, I don't work alone. I'm one of a team of people who have been in a project to help reintroduce wolves to the park.
Humans have always feared wolves. From fairy tales to movies, the wolf is always the bad guy a danger to humans and other animals. In the 1920s, the organizers of the park shared this view about wolves and made the decision to drive them away from the park.As a result,the number of elk(麋鹿) in the park increased. The elk started looking for food near river banks since they didn't have to worry about wolves.This, in turn, stopped trees from growing along the rivers, doing great harm to the environment there.
The return of wolves has already made a big difference. To begin with, the elk soon learned to stay away from the rivers, so new trees have been able to grow there. The trees become home to new wildlife, such as birds, and provide food for more animals.
The park is now becoming more and more popular with those who want to see wolves in their natural environment. It has also helped the local people make more money, Tourists visit the area,stay in the local hotels, and eat in the local restaurants.
Looking at the wild animals and the beautiful sceneries around me, I am amazed at the changes the wolf has made to Yellowstone.And happily,it is playing a good guy in this story.
