Once James Thornhill, a famous English painter, was asked to paint some pictures on the walls of the king’s palace in England.

Then workers were sent for and a big platform（台子）was made.

With the help of a worker, Thornhill started painting on the platform. They worked for a whole year and at last the pictures were ready.

Thornhill was happy when he looked at the pictures, for they were really beautiful. He looked at them for a long time, and then took one step back and looked again. Now the pictures were even more beautiful. He took another step, then another. Finally he was at the very edge of the platform, but he didn’t know it because he was thinking of his pictures.

The worker saw everything. “What should I do?” he thought. Thornhill was at the very edge of the platform. If I cry out, he will take another step, fall off it and surely be killed. So the worker quickly took some paint (漆)and threw it at the pictures.

"What are you doing?” cried the painter, running quickly forward to his pictures.

A friend’s grandfather went to America from Eastern countries. After he was processed (移民入境检查) at Ellis Island, he went into a cafeteria in Lower Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at a table and waited for someone to take his order. But nobody came to him. Later a woman with a plate full of food sat down opposite him and told him how a cafeteria worked.

“Start out at that end,” she said, “Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At the other end he’ll tell you how much you have to pay.”

“Soon I learned that’s how everything works in America,” the grandfather told my friend. “Life is like a cafeteria here. You can get everything you want only if you are willing to pay the money. You can even get success, but you’ll never get it if you wait for someone to bring to you. You have to get up and get it by yourself.”
