Go extra mile

My friend has just told me a real story. I can not wait any longer but share it with all of you now. This was a long story but I cut it short because I know you have less time to read long story.
Mr.A, the famous USA motivational speaker told the audiences his early life as follow:
" Have you seen some African black children who are thinner with big Tommy on T.V screen? I was like them when I was a child. I had no enough food to eat and felt very weak. When the wind was blowing, I had to hug the tree tightly. If not, I would be blown away. Please do not laugh, I am here to motivate you. I can do it, why cant your?
I had managed to go to America illegally. I worked as labourer, toilet cleaner and many lowest graded jobs. I learned Spanish and English while working. One day, I looked for a new job- filing clerk . My boss like me very much. Whatever things he instructed me, I would do it properly. When my boss was hospitalised, nobody took care of him except me. The boss hold my hand tightly before leaving this world. My boss's son Mr.B was touched by my good deed and said:" Brother, I will help you to find any job you want."
I told him that I wanted to be hotel attendant. During the work, I observed rich men always had some books on the car boot. I found out the book titles. During weekend, I went to buy the books with same titles. A book-go extra mile changed my life completely.
After that, I experienced many type of job, I kept on learning, had attended seminar, liked to interact with people. That's why I am here to motivate you. Even a black child can make it, you have no reason can not make it."
My friend, Mr.A can, you also can. Believe me, you and I need to go extra mile.
