Frank Woolworth was born in Rodman, New York, in 1852. His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat.Frank decided he did not want to be a farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.

Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract people's interest, but he soon learned something more important.One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.

Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store, selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly from the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.

By 1919, Woolworth had over 1,000 stores in the US and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was：“THE

B．A fire. B．The bridge.

CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.”

When I was 15, I announced to my English class that I was going to write and illustrate (为……加插图) my own books.

“Don't be silly, only geniuses can become writers，” the English teacher said.“... and_you_are_getting_a_D_this_semester.” I was so humiliated (屈辱的)．

That night I wrote a short sad poem and mailed it to the Capri's Weekly newspaper. To my astonishment, they published it and sent me

two dollars. I was a published and paid writer. They sneered (嘲笑) again. But I had tasted success. I'd sold the first thing I'd ever written. That was more than any of them had done.

During the next two years I sold dozens of poems, letters, jokes and recipes. By the time I graduated from high school, with a C minus average, I had scrapbooks (剪贴簿) filled with my published work. I never mentioned my writing to my teachers, friends or family again. They were simply dream killers.
