When a black boy 13 years old, one day his father suddenly handed him an old dress.

"How much can this dress be worth?" "About a dollar."

He replied. "

Can you sell it for two dollars? "

Father looked at him inquiringly.

"Only a fool will buy it!" He took a gamble and said

Father's eyes are sincere and eager.

"Why don't you give it a try?

You know, living at home is not easy.

If you sell it, it will help your mother and me. "

He just nodded. "I can try.

But it may not sell. "

He washes clothes carefully.

Without an iron, he brushed his clothes flat with a brush.

Spread it on a flat plate and dry it in the shade.

the next day

He took this dress to the crowded subway station.

After more than six hours of hawking

He finally sold the dress.

He clung to two dollars.

Run all the way home.

Every day, he is keen to dig out old clothes from the garbage.

After cleaning up, sell it downtown.

In this way, more than ten days passed.

Father suddenly handed him another old dress.

"Do you think about it, how can this dress sell for $20?

""How is that possible?

How can such an old dress sell for 20 dollars?

It's worth two dollars at most. ""

Why don't you have a try? "

His father inspired him, "If you think about it, there will always be a way."

Finally, he had a good idea.

He asked his cousin who was learning to draw a cute Donald Duck and a naughty Mickey Mouse on his clothes.

He chose to peddle at the gate of a school for aristocratic children.

After a while, a housekeeper bought this dress for his little master.

The boy likes the patterns on his clothes very much.

A happy, gave him a tip of $5.

25 dollars, which is undoubtedly a huge sum of money!

It is equivalent to his father's salary for one month.

When he got home, his father handed him another old dress.

"Can you sell it for 200 dollars?"

Father's eyes are deep.

This time, he did not hesitate.

He calmly took the clothes.

Start thinking

Two months later, the opportunity finally came.

After the press conference,

He jerked away the security guards around him.

Jumped to Laferty's side.

Hold up the old clothes for her to sign.

Rafosi was shocked at first, but immediately smiled.

No one will refuse an innocent child.

Raffles successfully signed his autograph.

He smiled and said, "Ms. Laferty.

Here are your clothes.

How to deal with it is entirely your freedom! "

He gave a whoop of cheers: "Miss Laferty's autographed sweatshirt.

It's worth 200 dollars! "After on-site bidding.

An oil merchant bought this sweatshirt at a high price of $ 1200.

Back home, he, his father and his family fell into a carnival.

Father was moved to tears.

I kept kissing his forehead: "If you can't sell it, I'll find someone to buy it."

I didn't expect you to do this! You are great, my child, you are really great ... "A bright moon rose to the top of the mountain, and the moonlight shone softly through the window. My father slept with him this evening.

The father asked, "Son, do you understand anything from selling these three clothes?" "I see. You inspired me, "he said emotionally. "As long as you use your head, there will always be a way."

Father nodded and shook his head again: "You are right, but this is not my intention." "

I just want to tell you that an old dress worth only one dollar can be noble.

Besides, what about us who are alive?

Why lose confidence in life?

We are just a little black and a little poor, but what does it matter? ""

Yes, even an old dress can be noble. Why should I sell myself short? "

Twenty years later, his name spread all over the world. His name is Michael Jordan.
