Joy Mangano is now an American inventor. She was divorced and had three kids under age 7 when she was

33, and was barely keeping up payments on her small two-bedroom home by working extra hours as a waitress.

“There were times when I would lie in bed and think. I didn't know how I was going to pay that bill,” Mangano

says.

But she had a special ability for seeing the obvious thing. She knew how hard it was to mop the floor. “I was

tired, of bending down, putting my hands in dirty water, wringing (拧) out a mop,” Mangano says. “So, There's

gotta be a better way.”

How about a “self-wringing” mop? She designed a special tool you could twist in two directions at once, and

still keep your hands clean and dry. She set out to sell it, first a few at flea markets.

Then Mangano met with the media. But would couch potatoes (电视迷) buy a mop? The experts on shopping

TV were less than certain. They gave it a try, and it failed Mangano was sure it would sell if they'd let her do the

on-camera display. She said, “Get me on that stage, and I will sell this mop because it's a great item.”

So QVC, a multinational corporation specializing in televised home shopping, took a chance on her. “I got

onstage and the phones went crazy. We sold every mop in minutes.”

Today she's president of Ingenious Designs, a multimillion-dollar company, and one of the stars of HSN, the

Home Shopping Network. Talking about the household invention, Mangano says, “It is as natural for me as it is for

a parent to talk about their child.”
