I was waiting for a phone call from my agent. He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn’t care about my work, and he didn’t care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone，“ Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are？”
At that time I didn’t realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires，and shouted at the phone，“Yeah! Who do you think you are？Bad telephone ! Bad telephone！”And she swept it into the wastebasket.
I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth?
She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room — if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go！”
Then she turned to me, kissed me, and said calmly，“Honey，you just have to learn how to take control. ”With that, she left the room.
After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight，I noticed that something in my mood(情绪) had changed. I was laughing. How could I have trouble with that phone？Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.

How many of us would temp (做临时工) for three years while we waited for the perfect job? Not many of us, perhaps. But Wentworth Miller, the Prison Break star, said he chose to wait even longer time until he found the right job.
“Actually I think it might have been three or four years until I was lucky enough to get guest roles on TV shows,” said Miller, 34, who rose to international fame thanks to Prison Break in 2006. That kind of patience and strong will was showed in Prison Break. Miller plays engineering expert Michael Scofield, who tries everything to break out of a Chicago prison with his brother.
Miller said he didn’t seem fated (注定的) for a career in the arts, despite his passion for acting. After graduating from Princeton with an English degree, he moved at his parents’ request to Los Angeles to look for a stable life. He started work in a little company that made television movies. This meant simply faxing and filing, walking the boss’ dog and going to the store for the boss’ lunch.
However, Miller realized he still had questions about his choice. He decided to give up the job. But the boss said he was making a mistake and offered him a well-paid assistant position.
“I finally realized that if I did that well-paid job, it would be great if I was successful, but that I would always wonder about the acting. If I did the acting and was successful I would never wonder about that job,” he explained. He gave up and temped for many people in the entertainments industry. But now, he is a hot star.

Long ago there lived a powerful king. Some of his ideas were good， but others caused people to suffer . One of the king’s ideas was to set up a public arena（竞技场）.When a person was accused of a crime, his future would be decided in this arena. It had two doors, side by side, exactly alike .The accused person was taken into the arena and asked to open one. Behind one door was a hungry tiger, while behind the other was a lady chosen especially for him. To this lady he would be immediately married, in honor of his innocence.
The king had a beautiful daughter whom he loved very much, and she secretly loved a young commoner. When the king discovered their relationship, the man was immediately put in prison, and a day was set for him to enter the arena.
The princess knew behind which door stood the tiger, and behind which a lady. She also knew that the lady was one of the loveliest in the kingdom. The princess hated the woman behind that silent door.
As he entered the arena and his eyes met the princess’s, the young man knew that she knew behind which door waited the tiger, and behind which stood the lady. The princess raised her hand, and made a short, quick movement toward the right. No one but her lover saw it. Every eye was fixed on him. He turned, and with a firm, quick step he walked across the empty space to the door on the right and opened it.
Now, the point of the story is this: Did the tiger come out of that door, or did the lady? The more we think about this question, the harder it is to answer. It involves a study of the human heart. The soul of the princess loved the young man but also burned under the fires of sadness and jealousy.
The question of her decision cannot be easily answered. And so I leave it with all of you: which came out of the open door? The lady or the tiger?
