Yu Rong, a Chinese artist, thinks of a new way to introduce  ancient story of Hua Mulan in her picture book. In the book, I Am Hua Mulan, she tells the story by (combine) paper­cutting with international artistic styles. She places Shaanxi papercuts over western­style pencil sketches (素描)(create) a typical presentation of Chinese elements (要素), which turns out to be a (success) and impressive breakthrough.

Hua Mulan,  story has been told by generations in China, was a fighter from the Northern Wei Dynasty (386－534). As a devoted daughter, she dressed herself as a man to serve in the army  place of her father. Mulan's characteristics, such as courage, kindness and a disinterested attitude toward fame and fortune, made (she) one of the most respected historical Chinese heroines. Mulan's story has been adapted (frequent) in modern media.

For example, in 1998, Disney produced a film named Mulan, which (consider) a great success by critics and the public.

To better tell the story, Yu Rong takes inspiration from her several (visit) to sites of ancient battles and Yu Opera. After years of preparation she finally makes this extraordinary work.

In my senior year of high school, Mike and I were lined up in front of a small group of students made up mainly of the leaders of the senior classes. Our teacher said to us, "The two of you will never amount to anything."

There was some snickering (窃笑)from some of the seniors as the teacher continued, "From now on, I am not going to waste any more time on either of you. I am only going to spend my time with these class leaders. You two are the class downs with bad grades, and you will never amount to anything. Now get out of here. "

That teacher did Mike and me the biggest favor of all. While what she said was true in many ways and her words hurt us deeply, her words also inspired both of us to work even harder. They carried us through college and into our own businesses.

A few years ago, Mike and I attended our high school reunion. It was nice to visit with people with whom we had spent three years during a period of time when none of us really knew who we were. It was also interesting to see that most of the so­called senior leaders had not become successful in the years after high school.

I tell this story because Mike and I were not academic whiz kids. We were neither financial experts nor athletic stars. For the most part, we were slow­to­average learners and students. In my opinion, we were not as naturally gifted as our fathers. Yet it was our teacher's stinging words and the snickering from our classmates that gave us the strength to move forward, to learn from our mistakes and to keep doing in both good times and bad times.

Just because you didn't do well in school, were not popular, bad in math, or have other reasons to underestimate yourself — none of them count in the long run. They only count if you think they count.

For those who're considering beginning your own financial fast track, you may have some doubts about your abilities. Trust that you have everything you need right now to be successful financially. All it takes to bring out your natural God­given gifts is your desire, determination and a deep faith that you have a genius and a gift that is unique.

When I was a kid, my parents sent me to a summer camp in New Hampshire. At the1we did tons of great things like swimming, sports and archery, but for me，the most memorable experience was an overnight trip of mountain climbing. If you've ever 2 a mountain, you know it's a physical challenge, especially when you're carrying your food and shelter on your back. When campers got tired, they 3 started complaining.

"How much farther is it?"

"I can't go any further."

"My 4is too heavy. Can you carry it for me？"

The reply of the teachers was，"Suck it up (忍耐一下)!" The 5is that the complaining campers were nowhere near the point of exhaustion. If they had been, the teachers would have noticed the signs and given them 6. The kids simply weren't used to the physical challenge. Once they realized they weren't getting any sympathy, they 7 the discomfort, and in most cases 8 having a great time. In my camp days, I don't recall a single camper complaining at the top of the 9.

There are two ways to deal with an 10situation. You can complain, or you can make the best of it. If you complain, you might feel like you're getting that11 energy out, but you're probably not going to cause a positive change. It's much more likely that your complaining will cause the 12 of those around you. No one likes a complainer. They're 13 and they hurt the group. Complaining makes life 14for everyone. Instead, if you determine to master your own suffering, to move past it and focus on a 15, it's my experience that you'll realize it wasn't bad in the first place.
