鼓励与信任让人变得强大
Some of the greatest success stories of history have followed a word of encouragement or an act of confidence by a loved one or a trusting friend%26#46; Had it not been for a confident wife, Sophia, we might not have listed among the great names of literature the name of Nathaniel Hawthorne%26#46; When Nathaniel, a heartbroken man, went home to tell his wife that he was a failure and had been fired from his job in a customhouse, she surprised him with an exclamation of joy%26#46;
"Now," she said triumphantly, "you can write your book!"
"Yes," replied the man, with sagging confidence, "and what shall we live on while I am writing it?"
To his amazement, she opened a drawer and pulled out a substantial amount of money%26#46;
"Where on earth did you get that?" he exclaimed%26#46;
"I have always know you were a man of genius," she told him%26#46; "I knew that someday you would write a masterpiece%26#46; So every week, out of the money you gave me for housekeeping, I saved a little bit%26#46; So here is enough to last us for one whole year%26#46;"
From her trust and confidence came one of the greatest novels of American literature, The Scarlet Letter%26#46;
编者按：当一个人陷入困境时，来自所爱的人或是朋友的鼓励与信任有着另人难以想象的强大力量。作家纳撒尼尔-霍桑在妻子的鼓励下成功写出世界名著《红字》的故事就是一个有力的说明。
