problem. What color do you want?"
There have been some demands which, much as I would have liked to fill, I couldn't. A Japanese
businessman, for example, thought the manager of a hotel was like his girlfriend so he asked me to
marry him to the woman he loved. There was one time, however, we did help out. A young man thought
that if he asked his girlfriend to marry him at the Ritz(瑞士著名的豪华酒店)she would say yes. He
asked us to put the ring in a cake, and she accepted.
Top hotels are used more and more to impress. They are used for doing business. If you've got
something to sell, take your clients(客户) to the best hotel where the surroundings are quite helpful.
A friend of mine working at Savoy Hotel tells the story about a man who gave him 5 pounds to say "
Good morning, Mr. Smith saying, "I do wish they would leave me alone at this place."
According to Julian Payne, the most powerful people in any hotel are the porters, who carry bags
for hotel guests. "Porters can do almost anything. They can get you tables at the best restaurants or
tickets for a popular concert. Don't ask me how they do it or what their deal is because I don't know.
Most of them have been there for years. They know more about the history of the hotel and the guests
than anyone else. They are invaluable. A head porter will come in even on his day off so he can say
hello to someone he remembers visiting the hotel years ago."

Is there a magic cutoff period when children become responsible for their own actions? Is there a wonderful moment when parents can become spectators in the lives of their children and shrug, “It’s their life,” and feel nothing?
When I was in my twenties, I stood in a hospital passage waiting for doctors to put a few stitches（缝线） in my son’s head．I asked, “When do you stop worry?” The nurse said, “When they get out of the accident stage.” My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing
When I was in my thirties, I sat on a little chair in a classroom and heard how one of my children talked continually and disrupted the class. As if to read my mind, a teacher said．“Don’t worry, they all go through this stage and then you can sit back, relax and enjoy them”. My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.
When I was in my forties, I spent a lifetime waiting for the phone to ring, the cars to come home, the front door to open. A friend said, “ They’re trying to find themselves, Don’t worry, in a few years, you can stop worrying. They’ll be adults.” My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.
By the time I was 50, I was sick and tired of being weak. I was still worrying over my children, but there was a new wrinkle, there was nothing I could do about it. My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.
I continued to suffer from their failures, and be absorbed in their disappointments. My friends said that when my kids got married I could stop worrying and lead my own life. I wanted to believe that, but I was haunted（萦绕心头） by my mother’s warm smile and her occasional “You look pale. Are you all right?” Call me minute you get home. Are you depressed about something ?” Can it be that parents are sentenced to a lifetime of worry?
One of my children became quite anxious about me recently, saying, “ Where were you ? I’ve been calling for three days, and no one answered . I was worried.”
I smiled a warm smile.
