Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man. Before he retired, Frank was the head of a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. It was his job to repair bicycles and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day. He saved money for years and in 1958 he bought a small workshop of his own. In his twenties Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes. At that time he had two helpers. In a few years the small workshop had become a large factory which employed seven hundred and twenty-eight people. Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and the long road to success. He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in. She wanted him to repair their grandson's bicycle!

昨天下午，弗兰克·霍金斯跟我讲起年轻时的经历。他退休前是一家大公司的负责人，可小时候却在一家小铺里干活。 他的工作是修自行车，那时每天要干十四个小时。 他攒了好几年的钱，1958年买下了自己的小作坊。二十多岁时，他开始制造飞机零件，当时有两名帮手。 没过几年，小作坊就发展成一家雇有七百二十八人的大工厂。 想起早年的艰苦日子和漫长的成功之路，弗兰克笑了。门开了，妻子走进来时，他脸上还带着笑。 她来是想让他修修孙子的自行车！
学完这一课
先沿这条线复述《成功者的故事》：成功者回忆少年 → 每天修车十四小时 → 攒钱开办小作坊 → 发展成大工厂 → 回顾艰辛，面带笑容 → 又要修自行车。再借一个结构讲自己的事：用本课同样的对比，说一个自己以前有、如今改变了的习惯。
