Next time I come to London I will certainly be staying there again.      Bob smith Manchester, UK: February 2008      The hotel "a restaurant made the best food I have ever tasted.

My room was also wonderful and from the window Icould see the Thames River.      Ma Li Beijing, China: June 2007      ￡6 for a cup of coffee in the cafe! ￡ 3 for a postcard in the gift shop! ￡ 33 for a T-shirt from the clothes store!

Somebody might say, "I want to be a big fish, as big as Bill Gates, in a big pool, as large as Microsoft that is a big company in the USA."

It is quite important for success.      Certainly, you should not be confined (局限) to your small pool and be satisfied with being a big fish there. You should always dream to be a big fish in a big pool.
