Sixteen years ago a boy gave me an important gift.It was a smile.
It was the early autumn of my first year at a middle school,and my old school was far away.As a result,no one knew who I was.I was very lonely,and afraid to speak to anyone.
Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing,I felt my heart break.I couldn’t talk with anyone about my problems.
Then one day,when my classmates were talking happily with their friends,I was sitting at my desk unhappily as usual.At that moment,a boy entered the classroom.I didn’t know who he was.He passed by me and then turned back.He looked at me,with a smile.
Suddenly,I felt the touch of something bright and friendly.It made me feel happy and warm.That smile changed my life.I started to talk with other students and make friends.Day by day,I became closer to everyone in my class.The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend.
One day I asked him why he had smiled,but he couldn’t remember doing so!
It doesn’t matter because all the dark days have gone.I believe that the world is what you think it is.If you think it is lonely,you might always be alone.So smile at the world and it will smile back.

When he was small,Hill was a famous bad boy.
At the age of 9,his father married his stepmother.At that time they were poor in the countryside while his stepmother was from a wealthy family.
His father introduced Hill to his stepmother as he said,“Dear,I hope you notice in the entire shire this is the worst boy,who has made me have no other way.Maybe before tomorrow morning he will throw a stone at you,or do a bad thing you will never imagine.”
To Hill’s surprise,his stepmother went up to him with a smile,held up his head and looked at him carefully.She then turned around to tell her husband,“You’re wrong.He is not the worst boy in the entire shire,but the cleverest and creative boy.Only he doesn’t find a place to show himself.”
His stepmother’s words warmed his heart,his eyes full of tears.With this,he started building friendship with his stepmother.And this became the drive of his life,making him create 28 successful golden rules,which helped tens of thousands of ordinary people walk on the road to success.
Before his stepmother came,no one praised (赞扬) him,and his father and neighbors considered him as a bad boy.However,his stepmother’s words changed his life.

The strength from his stepmother made him a rich man and famous writer in the United States and one of the most important persons in the 20th century.
