    Frank Woolworth was born in Rodman, New York., in 1852. His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.

Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract people’s interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品 ) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.

Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store., selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly from the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.

By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.”

We often close ourselves off when painful events happen in our lives．Instead of letting the world soften us，we let it drive us deeper into ourselves．We try to ignore the hurt and pain，but we can't hide from ourselves．（16）　   　．

The items listed below are four tips you can open your heart more fully and completely．

1．Breathe into pain

Whenever a painful situation arises in your life，try to face it instead of running away．（17）  　 When the sadness strikes，take a deep breath and accept it．By using our breath we soften our experiences and allow more newness．

2．（18）　  　

We're often confused at the next step to take．Actually，we can try a new decision making process．To start this process，we may ask，"Heart，what decision should I make here？What action feels the most right？"See what comes up，then put it into practice and evaluate the outcome．

3．Spend time alone

For most of our lives we're surrounded by people：our friends，family members，and strangers．（19）   　 When you spend time in solitude，you're free from the influences of other people．It might be painful at first，but eventually you'll add a whole new layer of depth and understanding into your life．

4．Get outside of yourself

（20）　  　 But in reality，they actually work hand﹣in﹣hand．After you've explored the depths of yourself，you come away with a new understanding．

Now，it's time to share that﹣﹣﹣not through telling others，but through being with others．

A．Have a light heart

B．Ask your heart what it wants

C．Is there anything I'm hiding from myself？

D．How often do we really spend time alone？

AB．This may seem a little contradictory to the last tip．

CD．We should open our hearts and take action to heal the wounds．

AC．When we run away from sadness，it gets stronger and more real．
