Peter Huszcz once taught in an agricultural college. In the 1990s, he moved to Canada. Peter started out washing dishes in a restaurant in downtown Ottawa. When the manager asked him to help out rolling meatballs in the kitchen, he soon learned how to do the job very well. But it was boring and Peter suggested that the manager should buy a meatball making machine. When the manager told him there was no such thing as a meatball maker, Peter was quick to notice that something was missing in the market. Putting his engineering knowledge to good use, he quickly came up with a simple method—the Magic Meatball Maker.
He was sure there was a market for his machine, but it took him ten years of hard work to find it. He had to take risks, but he believed in his idea, and he managed to persuade other people to believe in him too. A local manufacturer（制造商）offered to produce the first 1,000 units in return for a share in the profits（收益）, local shops offered to keep his meatball makers and a friend's daughter helped him out with his first sales.
But his lucky break came when he managed to persuade a TV shopping channel（频道）to help sell the Magic Meatball Maker. The channel broadcast a program about how the invention worked in the studio kitchen. Within minutes, they had sold more than 4,000 units.
This was just the start. Peter had been right. He had said his meatball maker would bring him great wealth, and it has made more than two million dollars so far and is still being sold to thousands of American families all across the USA.

Marathon running is not for every sportsman. It is designed for runners who wish to test the limits of their physical ability.
1() By getting well prepared for a marathon, you can make your marathon running more meaningful and prevent injury at the same time.
If you are not currently an eager runner, set a marathon as your long-term goal and work up to it with shorter races. Nearly every physically capable person can train themselves for a period to have the strength and skills to run a marathon. 2()
Before beginning your marathon running training, have a full physical examination to make sure you are in excellent condition. 3( ) Purchase quality marathon running equipment. But remember that the most expensive item may not be the most suitable. Wearing right shoes can improve your performance, and most importantly, help protect you against injury.
If your marathon running training includes outdoor runs, be sure to take basic safety measures each time you set out on a run. 4() You may also have to run with a friend if you go through unknown areas. At the very least, make sure someone knows your route when you are running alone.
5() Chances are that you are not an Olympic marathon runner, so do not expect to get comparable results from the running. By setting the completion time you can achieve, you can avoid the frustration of failure. In this way, you're more likely to stick with the running.
A. Set reasonable and realistic goals for yourself.
B. Actually, running in the stadium is much safer.
C. Carry a cellphone and water in case of emergency.
D. However, you don't expect to be running immediately.
E. Dealing with emergencies in a marathon race is unavoidable.
F. Though marathon running can be rewarding, it also has health risks.
G. Marathons are supposed to improve your health, not to make it worse.
