Albert was an ordinary worker in an oil company in America. His workmates gave a nickname (绰号)“Four dollars a bucket of oil” below his name whenever and wherever he wrote down his name. As time went by, people forgot his real name. Later, when Rockefeller, the board chairman(董事长)of the oil company heard of it, he was very surprised, so he invited Albert to his office.
“Some people give you a nickname. Why aren’t you angry?” asked Rockefeller with some puzzlement in his eyes.
“Mr. Rockefeller, I like this nickname very much, because it is our company’s advertisement. When someone calls me ‘Four dollars a bucket’, I think it’s free advertisement for our company. It’s not necessary for me to get angry. Don’t you think so, Mr. Rockefeller?”
“What a wonderful man!” Rockfeller said excitedly when hearing Albert’s words. “Young man, work harder, you must be successful in the future! I believe in you!”
Five years later, Albert became the second board chairman after Rockefeller. Later Albert said in one of his reports, “I don’t think we should feel upset when we have no way to do the world—shaking things.” We should treat everything actively because maybe our future success will begin from a small thing!”

When you get up in the morning, do you find it hard to choose what clothes to wear? If so, you probably need help to make the bigger choices in your life, like what to do when you’re older. “Brave New Girls”, by American author Jean Gadeberg, will help you make such choices. It says you must be a brave new girl. A brave new girl is one who is confident, healthy and happy. A brave new girl can realize her dreams. To be brave, you need to make a decision for yourself. Other people may tell you what to do, but you should not listen to them. You must only do what you want. If you always wear clothes like your favourite TV star, you must stop doing so. Instead, become your own star and wear the clothes you want. You have to like your body, it says. If you don’t, you will not take good care of it and won’t stay healthy. The book also says that girls must start becoming more confident. If you are confident, you’ll succeed in life. A good way to become confident is to realize that you are as clever as boys.
