19、rom China. When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans. Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now. Still, her answer surprised me: “Green tea.” As long as I can remember, she didnt even drink Indian tea.I dutifully bought a b

20、ig packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story. My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses.At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average Indian. It was a strange country. How thi

21、ngs change! And how soon! Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”. And everyone is talking about China.The government of India has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done. A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment(投资)and such

22、 a step would “work wonders as it did for China”.But its a two-way street. I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Rangalore to train in software. Meanwhile, all the IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China.No wonder that trade , which was only in the millio

23、ns just ten years ago, is expected to hit about US$15 billion for last year and US$20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments,No wonder, my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian(中印)century as the two countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year.But

27、Chinas recent development D. his wonder at the growth of Indias IT industryBDear Friend,The recent success of children's books has made the general public realize that there's a huge market out there.And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of chi

28、ldren's books bought each year . plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.Who are these needed writers? They're ordinary folks like you and me.But am I good enough?I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed

29、 down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude(潜能), and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed. The promise that paid offThe Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you

30、show basic writing ability:You will complete at least one manuscript(手稿) suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual a

My mom

35、was one of those people. My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change

36、my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.” At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those d

37、octors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later I returned to schoolwalking on my own! When the Great Depression(大萧条)hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us. At that mom

38、ent, I was determined never to be poor again.Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they c

39、harged an extra$2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆)for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time. Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporter

40、s. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mothers words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the word-Holiday Inn. In 1979 my compa

41、ny had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $ 1 billion a year. You may not have started out life in the best situations. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.48. What Kemmons mom often told him during his childhood w
