Many years ago, a young girl worked as a cleaner at the tailor’s in New York. When at work, she often saw the ladies drive cars to the shop to try on beautiful clothes. They dressed and behaved very well. So the girl thought, “This is the real life for a lady!” After thinking about this, a strong wish came up from her heart. She also wanted to a boss, and became a member of them.

Since then, every day before she started work, she would smile to the mirror so happily, so gently, and so confidently. Although in her working clothes, she imagined herself to be a lady wearing beautiful clothes. She dealt with people politely, naturally and gracefully. So the customers were very satisfied with her. She worked actively as if the shop was her own. As a result, she won the deep trust of her boss.

Before long, she won high praise from her customers. They said, “ She is the most intelligent girl with very good temperament”

“She is very excellent.” The boss also said.

After another period of time, the boss handed over the tailor shop to the girl for management.

As time went by, the girl got a very great name--- “Annette”. Then “Costume Designer Annette” and finally “Famous Designer Mrs. Annette”.
