When Spencer Johnson was little, he always thought he wanted to be a person who saves lives. So, he studied very hard and finally became a doctor.

One day, he was taking care of his patient who suffered from leukemia. She was a little girl and had few days to live. ¡°How do you feel today?¡± Johnson asked the girl. ¡°I feel better than yesterday,¡± she answered. He liked the girl because she was very cheerful. Johnson really wanted to cure her disease, but it was impossible to cure her with modern medical science.

Later, John received an emergency call from his hospital. It was because the girl was in critical condition. When he saw her, he noticed that she couldn¡¯t get through the night. John also saw everyone in the room was in deep sorrow. He knelt down by her side and said, ¡°I am so sorry I can¡¯t cure your disease.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to be sorry, doctor. I am going to the heaven, just a little earlier than the others. I am a little afraid to die, but I believe my grandparents will welcome me in heaven,¡± the girl said to him.

Johnson was very impressed that the girl didn¡¯t lose her beautiful smile before her death. Very inspired by the girl, he wanted to write books that can bring hope and courage to people. He wrote Who Moved My Cheese? and The Present¼±¹°. Many people all over the world were moved by his books. The books tell people what hope truly means, just how the girl demonstrated hope to Dr. Johnson.
