My father doesn’t know how to express love. It is my mum that makes everyone happy and calm in our family; while Daddy only works day and night, never looking us in the face. But Mum makes a wrongdoing list of us for Daddy scolding us. She was a spy!

Once, I stole a candy. Daddy asked me to put it back and told the shopkeeper I would like to carry loads for her. Well, Mum told him I was jut a child.

I broke my leg on the playground. It’s still Mum that held me tightly in her warm arms. Daddy drove us right to emergency room. He was asked to move the car away for that space was for ambulance. Daddy got angry, “What do you think of it? A touring car?”

On my birthday party, it was, again, my mum that took over the cake for me. And my dad was busy with blowing balloons and setting the table and doing the housework.

While looking over our album, my friends always ask, “What does your father look like?” God knows. He photos others all the time. So there are many photos of my mum and me, pretty and lovely photos.

And I still remembered the day when dad taught me riding. I asked him not to let his hands away, but he did the opposite. And I certainly fell onto the ground. I got angry and decided to get on the bike and rode. But he smiled again.

Mum wrote every letter to me while I was in college. He, except checks, did write a letter, but extremely short, just a few words, saying, “Without your playing on the lawn, my son, my lawn grows prettier than before.”

Every time I phoned, it seemed that he wanted to talk, but he would say, “I will get your mum.”

On the day of my wedding, Mum cried as if we would never meet again, while dad went out with a nasal sound.

From very young, I heard him saying, “Where have you been?” “When do you go home?” “Did you get oil for your car?” “…” Dad really knows nothing about showing love. Unless…

Maybe he showed while I didn’t notice.

　　My mother was a household servant．Through her work, she found that successful people spent a lot more time reading than they did watching television．She announced that my brother and I could only watch two to three pre-selected TV programs during the week．With our free time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and write book reports．She would mark them up with check marks．Years later we realized her marks were a ruse(计策)．My mother had only received a third-grade education．Although we had no money, between the covers of those books, I could go anywhere, do anything and be anybody．

　　When I entered high school, I was an A-student, but not for long．I wanted the cool clothes．I wanted to hang out with the guys．I went form being an A- student to a B- student to a C-student, but I didn’t care．

　　One night my mother came home and I complained about not having enough shirts．She said, “Okay, I’ll give you all the money I make this week cleaning floors and bathrooms, and you can buy the family food and pay the bills．With everything left over, you can have all the shirts you want．”

　　I was very pleased with that arrangement but once I got through allocating(分配)money, there was nothing left．I realized my mother was a financial genius(天才)to be able to keep a roof over our heads and any kind of food on the table, much less(更不用说)buy clothes．

　　I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasn’t going to get me anywhere．Success required intellectual(理智的)preparation．I went back to my studies and became an A-student again．I dreamed of becoming a doctor when I was just a kid．And now I have achieved my dream．

　　My story is really my mother’s story －a woman with little formal education or worldly goods who used her position as a parent to change the lives of her children．

I told my friend Graham that I often cycle two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route．He replied,“You mean fortunately．”He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided．

My attitude to the hill has now changed．I used to grumble as I approached it but now I tell myself the following．This hill will exercise my heart and lungs．It will help me to lose weight and get fit．It will mean that I live longer．This hill is my friend．Finally I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercise bicycles when I call get the same value for free．I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill．

Problems are there to be faced and overcome．We cannot achieve anything with an easy life．Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree．Her activism and writing proved inspirational．She wrote，“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet．Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened，vision cleared，ambition inspired and success achieved.”

One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity(逆境)．From time to time we all face hardships，problems．accidents、afflictions and difficulties．Some are of our making but many confront us through no fault of our own．While we cannot choose the adversity we can choose our attitude towards it．

Douglas Bader was 21 when in 193l he had both legs cut off following a flying accident．He was deter-mined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aces in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans．He was an inspiration to others during the war．He said,“Don't listen to any-one who tells you that you can’t do this or that．That's nonsense．Make up your mind，you'll never use crutches(拐杖)or a stick，then have a go at everything．Go to school，join in all the games you can．Go anywhere you want to．But never，never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.”

The biographies（传记）of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced．The common thread is that they did not become depressed．They chose their attitude．They chose to be positive．They took on the challenge．They won．

Nevertheless．there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity．
