There is a beautiful story about a child playing with a vase(花瓶） his mother had left on the table for a few moments. When the mother turned at the sound of her son’s crying, she saw that his hand was in the vase and was stuck（困住）. She tried to help him and pulled and pulled until the child cried out in pain. But the hand was stuck fast(牢固地）.How would they get it out? The father suggested breaking the vase but it was quite valuable and the child’s hand might be cut in the process. Yet he knew that if all else failed there would be no other choice. So he said to the boy,”Now, let’s make one more try. Open your hand and stretch your fingers out straight, as I’m doing, and then pull!”“But Dad,”said the boy, “if I do that I’ll lose my money!”
The boy had had a coin in his hand all the time and was holding it tightly in his little hand. And he wasn’t prepared to open his hand and lose it. But once he opened his hand it came out of the vase easily.
I know that I hold on to things in my life that I think are so important to me. Early in my marriage, all I cared about was becoming the best volleyball player in the State of Wisconsin.

Success on the volleyball court, but a huge failure in my relationship with my wife.
When I finally let go, I looked back what I had done and was ashamed.Not only did I show my wife she wasn’t the most important to me, but I missed out on a lot of relationship building time. My life is so much richer now that I am not a slave(奴隶）to that drive to the best player I could be.

During once race, the first step of the lead is likely to mean the final success, so the success and failure, or gain and loss of your life may lie in whether you dare to show yourself.
As a student, I was most afraid to answer questions in class, and I found that students around were just like me. At the beginning of each class, when the professor(教授） asked a question, I always lowered my head, for fear that the professor saw me.
In a foreign language class, an expert（专家） from the Commercial Bank gave a lecture （讲座）. The speaker always wanted someone to communicate with him, so he asked how many students in the classroom learned economics, but no one answered. The expert said, “let me tell you a story first.”
“when I came to the United States to study, there are often lectures given in the university. Each time they invite a manager from Wall Street or a great company to make the speech.”
“before the beginning of each lecture,I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a cardboard(硬纸板）folded in half, wrote their names in black with the eye-catching color, and then placed it on the seat. So when the speaker needed the response（答复）, he saw the cardboard and called a listener’s name directly.”
“I couldn’t understand, so I asked the stu dent in front of me. He told me with a smile,’ the speakers are all top--ranking people who mean chances.If your answer is to his satisfaction or surprise, it is very possible that he will give you more chances. This was very simple reason.’”
“The fact was also like that. I really saw a few students around me went to work in the first-class company because they were able to find more chances. This thing had a great influence on me. The chance will not find you itself. You must show
yourself to attract others’ attention to find a chance on the cards.”
