　　　　 I WAS the “I can’t” child -- the poster child for the word“can’t”.

　　　　 Whatever my mother told or asked me to do was always followed by my words,“I can’t.”Very few tasks or goals that I set out to do were ever completed.

　　　　 “I want you to read this article,”Mother began.“It’s about Marlo Thomas. She tells how a simple poem that she was forced to learn by her father changed her life. She went from saying, ‘I can’t ’to‘I can!’ According to this article, she was able to change her life, and her career, by learning the lessons in the poem. ”

　　 I thought it must be great to be Marlo! Beside her photo was the poem my mother had spoken of, a simple poem entitled“I Can”.

　　　　 “I want you to memorize(记住) that poem,”Mother said firmly.

　　　　 “Mamaaaaa,”I complained. “I can’t learn that poem. It’s too long.”

　　　　 “It’s not too long and yes, you can learn it. I want you to know it perfectly by this time tomorrow.”

　　　　 I dropped my shoulders, turned and made my way back to my bedroom with the magazine in my small right hand. With a heavy heart, I lay on my bed, fell back against the cotton and began my task.

　　　　 “Can’t is a word that is the enemy of ambition(雄心),”I began. I repeated the line. I repeated it again and again until it held firm in my heart. “An enemy waiting to jump on your strength of will…”I continued until the following evening, when I proudly recited the poem that has continued to be my motto(座右铭).

　　　　 Ms Thormas did not know me, but her story forever changed my life.

　　　　 Saying“I can”helped me to survive the worst moments of my life. Saying“I can”helped me to do things I would otherwise have thought out of my reach. A simple poem learned at seven is a poem that will sustain(支持) me to seventy-seven. Maybe even longer.
