　　I was the typical"I can't"child．Whatever my mother told or asked me to do was immediately followed by my cry，"I can't．"As a result，I achieved very few tasks or works completely．

　　One evening，my mother called me into the family room．"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 rules in the poem．"

　　I took the small magazine from Mother and looked down at the pages．There was Marlo-my hero．Beside her photo，there was the poem called"I Can"．"I want you to remember that poem，"Mother said．"It's not too long and you can learn it．I want you to know it perfectly by this time tomorrow，"said my mother．I went back to my bedroom with the magazine．With a heavy heart，I threw myself into the bed and began my task．

　　"Can't is a word that is the enemy to ambition，"I began to read the lines．I read it again and again．"An enemy ambush（埋伏） to shatter（破碎） your will…"I continued until I proudly recited the poem the following evening．It has now become my life rule．Marlo Thomas did not know me，but her story changed my life．

　　Saying"I can"helped me to get through the worst moments of my life：Saying"I can"encouraged me to complete things．A simple poem learned at seven is a poem that will support me to seventy-seven，maybe even longer．
