Mr. Glen is a millionaire. Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he
1 up
his small company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his
2 expensive "school" fee.
He always owes his success to it.
At that time, Glen, who already got a Ph. D. degree, decided to return to the homeland, starting a
company. Before

4 made through years of work after
school and the scholarships. At the airport he had to accept the routine customs check. The watch on
his wrist was also demanded to be
5 down for inspection. Glen knew that carrying the
6 goods out
had to pay the tax. And he worried about paying
7 for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a
lie that his watch was a worthless
8 . When he was
9 of his "smarts", immediately,
10 the
presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, which
11 nearly 100,000, into pieces on hearing Glen's
words. Glen was amazed,
12 he understood why, he was taken to the office to be
13 strictly.
For many times of entry-exit
14 he knew that only those people in the "blacklist" would "enjoy" this
special treatment. The officers looked out every thing carefully in the box, and warned him no matter
15 time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if
16 reusing and carrying fake and
shoddy(劣质的) goods, he would be charged according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he
had nothing in mind after
17 the plane for long.
After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too. He said
that this made a deep
18 on him, because the additional high "school" fee that he had ever paid made
him realize the value of
19 , which he would
20 as the secret of his success forever.
