One of the most inspiring quotes(名言) I ever heard was by Brian Tracy. He said: “The 41 between successful people and unsuccessful people is that successful people 42 many more times than unsuccessful people.”
I deeply understood the 43 of the quote soon after my fist book was published.
I was living in Atlanta at the time and 44 my fist signing sale for my new book at the phoenix and Dragon,the largest bookstore in the city. Although a nice sign was placed outside the room 45 images of both me and my book, The 9 Insights of the Wealthy Soul,not a single customer entered the room. 46 each minute passed, I became increasingly 47 .
At 6:25 pm, just before the store’s 48 , I began to get myself ready to leave. At that moment, just when I couldn’t fell any 49 , a middle-aged couple walked into the room. I managed to 50 my emotions and introduced myself and my book.
The couple turned the pages each other, and the husband 51 to his wife. She then told me,“I think we’ll get the book.”
Despite the impulse (冲动)to jump 52 , and hold their hands to thank them for being my 53 readers, I realized the woman was trying to say something else.
“The 54 we’re buying it is that our son died two years ago,” she said. “Maybe your book will help us 55 it .”
At that moment, I knew if never sold a copy of the book, my four years of 56 had been meaningless.
Although I would have many more challenging years 57 my book became a bestseller, this couple’s story was all the 58 I needed at that point to keep me 59 .
Thanks to them, I would realize that the greatest of lives are made all in the same way : One challenge ... one challenge ... one difficulty ... one step ... and one small 60 at a time.
