1．Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own．My mom was one of those people．
My father died when I was nine months old，making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen．While I was growing up，we lived a very hard life．We had little money，but my mom gave me a lot of love．Each night，she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life，"Kemmons，you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it．"
At fourteen，I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again．Every day，my mother spoke to me in her gentle，loving voice，telling me that no matter what those doctors said，I could walk again if I wanted to．She drove that message so deep onto my heart that I finally believed her．A year later，I returned to school-walking on my own!
When the Great Depression（大萧条）hit，my mom lost her job．Then I left school to support the both of us．At that moment，I was determined never to be poor again．
Over the years，I experienced various levels of business success．But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951．I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra﹩2for each child．That was too expensive for the average American family．I told my wife tat I was going to open a motel（汽车旅馆）for families that would never charge extra for children．There were plenty of doubters at that time．
Not surprisingly，mom was one of my strongest supporters．She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style．As in any business，we experienced a lot of challenges．But with my mother's words deeply rooted in my soul，I never doubted we would succeed．Fifteen years later，we had the largest hotel system in the world-Holiday Inn．In 1979my company had 1，759inns in more than fifty countries with an income of﹩1billion a year．
You may not have started out life in the best situation．But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself，nothing can stop you．

19．One evening I went out and left my 17-year-old son in charge of his 8-year-old brother and 4-year-old sister．On this occasion，the chore （烦人的事） was made less troublesome by the presence of his girlfriend．I left with complete confidence that the older children would do a wonderful job of babysitting the younger children and the younger children would do a wonderful job of accompanying the older ones．Later，I discovered that complete confidence was the last thing I should have left home with．
I had decided to return home earlier than planned so that my son and his girlfriend could go out．I called home with this happy news．But instead of hearing his cheerful，thankful voice on the other end of the line，all I heard was the sound of a telephone ringing．
It was，I should point out，after 10p．m．，when the two younger children should have been in bed，and when the two older children should have been answering the phone．"I'll give him a lesson，"I said．I decided they must be outside．Why they might be outside at 10：30on a wintry night I had no idea，but it was the only explanation I could come up with．
Finally，in desperation，I called his girlfriend's house．After what seemed like countless rings，his girlfriend answered．"Yes，"she said brightly，"He's right here．"
He came on the phone．I was not my usual calm，rational self．After all，one of the rules of survival （生存） for modern parents is that you can't trust modern teenagers．"Where are the children？"I said．He said they were with him．They had done nothing wrong．My son had taken the younger children over to his girlfriend's house just for ice cream and cake．This was too wholesome （有益的） to be believed．Well，it turns out that I shouldn't have believed it． It was only part of the truth．
The following Saturday evening we were at my parents'home，celebrating my birthday．My oldest son gave me the children's gifts．Mounted and framed （给…装框） were a series of lovely color photographs of my children，dressed in their best clothes，and wearing their most wonderful expressions．They are pictures to treasure a lifetime，all taken by the father of my son's girlfriend．
That was the most precious gift of all．
