One afternoon I took a trip to an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was expecting a view of the masterpieces(名作).

A young couple looking at the in front of me chatted non-stop. I watched them for a moment and realized the wife was doing all the talking. I admired(佩服)this man for being so with her. Bored by their noise, I moved on.

I met them several times as I moved those rooms of art. Each time I heard her voice, I moved away quickly.

I was standing at the museum gift shop buying some cards when the couple walked to the exit(出口).

" He's a brave man, " the clerk said. "Most of us would our interests if we were blind at such a young age. But behind his wife he comes in there's a new art show. "

"But he can't see. " I said in surprise.

" His wife each painting so that he can see it in his head. "

I learned about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his . And I saw the love shared by two people as I this couple walk away holding each other's hands.

Ma Yun became one of the richest men in China when his company Alibaba went on the stock(股票)market last year with a value of around 140 billion-the largest public offering in history. Here are some stories about him on the way to success.

Ma made his first trip to the a US in 1995 and used the Internet for the first time. After searching for “beer”, he saw that no results came up about China. Then he searched for “China” and still saw no results. He decided to set up a Chinese website--the seed for Alibaba was sown(播种).

Ma said he was refused many times in his life. He failed the College Entrance Examination in China three times and few companies offered him jobs, including one at KFC. And he was refused by the famous Harvard University 10 times.

It was difficult to learn English when Ma was a teenager because of limited resources. However, he found that he could learn English well by giving tourists free guides around his hometown Hangzhou. And he kept it for nine years. Ma said that tourists opened up a new world for him because everything they said and did was so different from what he had been taught at school and by his parents.

Ma’s hero is Forrest Gump who never gives up. When he made a speech about his success at Davos(达沃斯论坛)in 2015,Ma said, “Life is like a box of chocolates because you never know what you are going to get.”
