Where Are We Going, Dad? is one of the most popular television shows in China now. Fathers now take an active part in their children's lives.

Five well-known fathers and their children travel around China, riding camels through the western deserts (沙漠), fishing in the east sea, and selling vegetables to get money back home in the southwestern Yunnan Province. One dad doesn’t know how to do his daughter’s hair, but he learns quickly and does it well now. Another one must stay with his son for three days in the desert, because he and his son don’t know how to cook, the two only eat instant (即食) noodles.

This show raises an important question for modern Chinese society (社会) —what is the role（角色）of fathers in today’s China? In the old days, children must obey parents’ wishes and look after them in their old age. But Chinese parents now think that discussing and respecting (尊重) their children’s choices may be a better way to prepare them for modern society. “As they raise their children, parents are growing up at the same time,” said Wang Renping.

If you lose 12 times in a row (连续地), will you just give up? Dale Carnegie ,a pioneer in public speaking and self- development, kept trying. And he became famous by showing people how to be successful.

Carnegie was born in 1888 in a poor farming family in the central United States. The boy didn’t see a train until he was 12 years old. In his teens, he had to get up at 3a.m. every day to milk the cows in his family. When Carnegie first entered college, he felt hopeless because of his clothes and ordinary looks. His mother encouraged him: “ Why not try to be better in other things instead of just dress and good looks?”

Carnegie tried to be more active in college . He joined the debate（辩论） team. But one after another, he lost 12 meets. The young man was very disappointed in himself. He said later that he thought of killing himself after so many failures. But soon Carnegie was seen practicing public speaking on the riverside . His hard work paid off at last. In 1906, Carnegie won a famous speech contest and became widely known. The young man made his own words come true : “Believe that you will succeed , and you will.”

In order to share his success, Carnegie opened schools and wrote books. His best- sellers include “How to Win Friends and Influence People “ and “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living” .More than 50 million copies of his books have been printed in 38 languages . They are still helping people on the road to success.
