5、When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother's Chinese English．Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly．People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her．

My mother has long realized the limitations of her English as well．When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on the phone to pretend I was she．I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her．One time I had to call her stockbroker （股票經(jīng)紀(jì)人）．I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, "This is Mrs. Tan．"

And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, "Why he don't send me check,

already two week late．"

And then, in perfect English I said, "I'm getting rather concerned．You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn't arrived．"

Then she talked more loudly．"What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss．" And so I turned to the stockbroker again, "I can't tolerate any more excuse．If I don't receive the cheek immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week．"

The next week we ended up in New York．While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English．

When I was a teenager, my mother's broken English embarrassed me．But now, I see it differently．To me, my mother's English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural．It is my mother tongue．Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom．It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world．

4、When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it's so-and-so's fault．"or "I know I'm late, but it's not my fault; the car broke down．" It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser．You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation．However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation．This is the winner's key to success．

Winners are great at overcoming problems．For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly．Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need．For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person．Ask to work with a different person, or don't rely on this person．You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well．

This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens．Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situation to face as anybody else．They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents．So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is．" Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success．
