　　On a cold winter day in Denver, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the co­author of the best­selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series and the author of The Success Principles.What Jack had become was a version of what I wanted to be.

　　During his talk, Jack reached for his wallet, pulled out a hundred­dollar bill, and said, “Who wants this？”

　　Hands shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would choose.But I ran up the stairs to the stage and grabbed the bill from his hand.He turned to me and said, “Yes, that's it! Instead of waiting around for opportunities, simply take the initiative and create what we want！”

　　After this week, I asked for his personal e­mail address and sent him e­mail sharing my views and dreams.He kindly e­mailed back simple encouragement such as “Keep thinking and playing bigger; it's much more fun that way.Love, Jack.” Then I got occupied with other things in life and I stopped e­mail Jack.

　　A year later, my dream gradually faded.I had this idea if I got back in touch with Jack.I e­mailed him again and again but got no response.As I sat down at my computer to check my e­mail for the fifth time in 15 minutes, an inspiration came like lighting: What was I doing? Was I waiting for the prize of life? I knew I needed to do something about all this waiting.I was going to write a book, which I would call “Waiting for Jack”！
