I was the "I can't" child.Whatever I was told or asked to do was always followed by the words, "I can't".
"I want you to read this article." Mother began, "It's about Marlo Thomas.She tells how a simple poem she was forced to learn by her father changed her life.According to the article,she went from saying 'I can't' to 'I can!' She was able to change her whole life by learning the lessons of the poem."
"I want you to memorize that poem," Mother said firmly.
"Mama,I can't learn that poem.It's too long." I complained.
"It's not too long.I want you to know it perfectly by this time tomorrow."
I dropped my shoulders,turned and made my way hack to my bedroom.With a heavy heart,I lay on my bed and began my task.
"Can't is a word that is the enemy of ambition (雄心)," I began.I repeated the line.I repeated it again and again until it held firm in my heart. "An enemy waiting to jump on your strength of will." I continued until the following evening,when I proudly recited the poem that has later become my motto (座右銘).
Ms.Thomas did not know me,but her story forever changed my life.
Knowing to firmly say "I can't helped me survive the worst moments of my life.A simple poem learned at seven supported me to seventy-seven,maybe even longer.
