I was awakened at 7 o'clock by my mobile phone,  who should be that who called me? I wondered and reluctantly I got up to reach the phone, on the other end of the phone, it was a familiar lady who just visited me a week ago.

A sweet weekend sleep was ruined anyhow and  my husband was apparently annoyed too by this early call. I approached the window and lifted the curtain, it was still raining, the street was sparkled with the rainwater, some early birds already have started to seek their fortunes and enjoyment on the road, just like the lady. Thinking unable to go to sleep anymore, we sat up and leaned against the bed talking,  some of which concerning with this lady.

I encountered this lady 10 years ago, at that time she was just a new face in the city we live in, her husband was a layoff worker, her daughter was studying in primary school, they earned a living by selling some small items beside the street, with items laid on the ground, upon which a piece of cloth was covered.

I left my mobile phone number to her by saying that she could reach me if she would have met some difficulties. One day she came to my unit abruptly, out of my expectation, one of my colleague told me that I was expected by a lady, I was utterly amazed at that, for I knew nobody except my colleagues after my fresh graduation. It was her, seeing my coming, she burst into tears and poured her grievance to me, upon her confiding, I was told that her items were deprived by city inspectors, I consoled her and gave her some money about 100 yuan which was just distributed as a subsidy and subsequently in the following days I took her to several agencies for help.

After that, she got some substantial help indeed and she started to do her small business by selling some commodities near her house, then we seldom contacted with each other till one day she called me again and we had an appointment at my room, I was told that she had started to do some insurance business for an insurer, she solicited my help by introducing some clients, I could not do anything beyond my capabilities and we didn't meet again until this year, she told me that she had started a business by joining a direct marketing company, she proudly announced that she could earn 80000 yuan annually now and she is embracing a much more promising future. Her earnest intent to recruit me to be her subordinate was palpable, at the same time, she wanted to express her gratitude of my previous help when she was in hot water. I did not fail her, though I excused myself of her kind offer, by introducing my younger sister to her, she was pleased anyhow.

I have witnessed her experience from being the poor to be the small rich, she was transformed by her wisdom, perseverance, hardworking and strong will. Anyone who has a strong desire to be successful is blessed by the ambition, she said that and she proved that.
