Some time ago, an old businessman had a large store in Boston. He wanted a boy to work for him, and he put an advertisement in the newspapers. The next morning, many boys came to the old man’s office, asking for the job.
There was a post（柱子）by his desk, and there was a nail in it. He took a walking stick and said, “Everyone has three chances. If anyone can hit that nail（钉子）on the head with this stick more than once, I will give him the job.”
The boys thought it was very easy. They all tried, but nobody could make it. So the old man said, “I’m sorry I can’t take any of you,” and they left.
He kept the advertisement in the papers, and the next morning more boys came, and among them he saw a thin boy who had been there the day before. The boy hit the nail successfully for three times. The old man felt surprised and asked how he did that.
“Yes,” said the boy, “I failed yesterday, but I thought that if I kept on trying a while, I could do it. So I went home and practiced hitting a nail with a stick till I could do it, and I got up very early this morning, and tried again.”
The old man said, “You are the boy for me,” and gave him the job. Whatever the boy had to do, he tried to do his best. It was not very long before he became the best clerk in the store.

If you have a brother or a sister, you already know you are different from each other. You live together in the same house and have the same parents. 1. Why is this? One possible reason is the way your parents treat you.
First—born children receive all the attention from their parents. Most families have much more photos of a first—born than any other child. Parents give them more responsibility（责任）. 2. As a result, first—borns are often responsible, hard—working and serious. They often want to do well at school and work. 3. For example, Gorge Bush, George Washington, and Lyndon Baines Johnson are all first—born.
When a second child arrives, parents are more relaxed. The second child is allowed to be more independent. But he also has to compete with the first—born for the parents’ attention and love. These children often choose different sports and hobbies to show independence. 4. They are often adventurous（爱冒险的）, fun—loving, and outgoing, but can be jealous（好嫉妒的）and get angry easily.
The youngest child is the happiest. He has fewer responsibilities and more freedom. These children do not feel pressure to do well at school and work, but have to be creative to get their family’s attention. 5.So, many famous talk—show hosts and comedians were born last.
