Lesson16 Believe That You Will Succeed
Carnegie was born in 1888 to a poor farming 1 family in the central United 2 States. The boy didn't see a train until he was 12 years old. In his teens 3, he had to get up at 3 am every day to milk the family cows.
When Carnegie first entered college, he felt hopeless because of his clothes and ordinary looks. His mother encouraged him:“Why not try to be better in other things instead of just dress and good looks?”
Carnegie tried to be more active in college. He joined the debate team. But one after another, he lost 12 meets. The young man was very disappointed 4 in himself. He said later that he thought of killing 5 himself after so many failures.
But soon Carnegie was seen practicing public speaking on the riverside. His hard work paid off at last. In 1906, Carnegie won a famous speech contest and became widely known 6
The young man made his own words come true:“Believe that you will succeed, and you will.”

相信你会成功
1888年卡内基出生在美国中部一个贫穷的家庭里。他十二岁才第一次看到火车。在他十多岁时,每天早上三点起床给家里的奶牛挤奶。
卡内基初入大学时,他因为衣着和相貌平平而感到绝望。母亲鼓励他说,“为什么不在衣着和长相以外的方面努力变得更好呢?”
卡内基开始积极参加大学活动。他参加了辩论队。但是他一次又一次地输掉了,一共输了十二次比赛。年轻人对自己非常失望。他后来说在这么多次失败后他曾想自杀。
但是很快人们又看到卡内基在河边练习演讲了。
他的努力最终没有白费。1906年,卡内基在一场著名的演讲比赛中获胜而一举成名。
这个年轻人证明了他所说的话:“相信你会成功,你就会成功。”
