A

My first job was at a local restaurant,where I worked for seven years and learned so many lessons,especially from a fellow customer.

Helen was in her 30’s and had extraordinary self-confidence,something I was really lacking.I looked up to Helen because she was doing what she loved—serving people better.She al ways made everyone,customers and co workers,smile and feel good.

Being a waitress changed my life.One of my regular customers was Fred Hasbrook.He al ways ate an omelet,and when I saw him coming,I tried to have it on his table as soon as he sat down.

Thanks to the new found confidence I picked up from Helen,I dreamed of having my own restaurant.But when I called my parents to ask for aloan(贷款),they said,“We just don’t have the money.”

The next day,Fred saw me and asked,“What’s up?You’re not smiling today.”I shared my dream with him and said,“Fred,I know I can do more if somebody would just have faith in me.”

Before long he handed me checks totaling$50,000—along with a note that I have to this day.It reads,“The onlycollateral(抵押品)on this loan is my trust in your honesty as a person. Good people with a dream should have a chance to make that dream come true.”

I took the checks to Merrill Lynch,where the money was provided for me.I continued working at the restaurant,making plans for the restaurant I would open.My plans soured,though, and I lost the money.

Later I decided to apply for a job at Merrill Lynch.Even though I had no experience,I was hired and ended up becoming a pretty good agent.Eventually,I paid back Fred the$50,000, plus 14 percent annual interest.Five years later,I was able to open my own restaurant.

One year,a British exploring team entered a certain area of Sahara;they were making great efforts traveling in the sand sea.In the sun,the strong wind made the sand fly around in the air, like the iron sand fried to red,hitting the members’faces.They were very thirsty.All they wanted was to get out of the desert as quickly as possible because everyone ran out of water.At this time,the leader took out a water pot and said,“There is a pot of water here.But before we pass through the desert,nobody is allowed to drink it.”

A pot of water became a source offaith(信念)to cross the desert and their hope of living depended totally on it.The water pot was passed on in the team members’hands.It felt heavy.

A confident look appeared on their faces,but just before that,they had lost heart.Finally, the team walked out of the desert in great difficulty,but they succeeded in escaping from the hand of Death.With tears of joy,all of them wanted to open the water pot with trembling hands, hoping to have a good drink of water—but a full pot of sand poured out slowly!

Under the hot sun,was it a pot of sand that really saved them in the vast desert?Their belief, like a seed,had taken root and grew in their hearts,and led them out of the dangerous situation in the end.
