Life experiences can show one’s “grit”(坚韧). Complex challenges early in life helped the

following people develop skills that got them to the top of their professions.

Ursula Burns, Chairwoman, VEON; Former CEO, Xerox

Her family was so poor that her single mother traded office cleaning for health care. But

Burns’ early gift for maths won her a scholarship and an internship at Xerox, where she would

compete her way to the top. “ I’m a black lady from the Lower East Side,” she says, “Not a lot

scares me.”

spoke to 242 people, and 217 of them said no.” he said.

made me work even harder.” he recently said.

Dear Alcohol，

You’ve been around forever. I can remember all the pain you’ve caused me.

Do you remember the night when you almost took my father’s life? I do. He loves you.

Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He’s addicted to you，to the way you

promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them.You just sat back and laughed as

his car went turning through the street，crashing into two other cars. He wasn’t the only one badly

hurt by you that night.

Do you remember the night of my first high school party? My friends were intrigued by you.

They treated you as if they were never going to see you again，drinking all of you that they could.I

spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen head over heels for you. “I’m so

embarrassed,” they said as I held their hair back so that they could throw up. “I’m sorry,” they said

when I called taxis for them，walking them out and paying the driver in advance. “This won’t

happen again,” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped.Two

15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night due to you.

Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had

to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lesson? Do you know how we all felt when he hit

another car head-on and killed two people in the other car? He died the next morning, too. His

sister walked home from her dance lesson，and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering

on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn’t realize her brother was

among them at all. She never saw him again. And it was all your fault.

I wish you’d walk out of my life forever. I don’t want anything to do with you. Look at all the

pain you’ve caused. Sure, you’ve made people happy too from time to time. But the damage

you’ve caused in the lives of millions is not excusable. Stop attracting the people I love! Stop

hurting me, please!

Sincerely，

Me
