It was the summer of 1965. Deluca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked Deluca about his plan for the future. "I"m going to college, but I need a way to pay for it," Deluca recalls saying. "Buck said, "you should open a sandwich shop."" That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $1,000. Deluca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn"t cover their startup costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000. But business didn"t go smoothly as they expected. Deluca says, "After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didn"t know how badly, because we didn"t have any financial controls." All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs. Deluca was managing the store and to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They"d meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. "We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, "We are so successful; we are opening a second store."" And they did-in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error. But the partners" learnasyougo approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, Deluca would drive around and handdeliver the checks to pay their supplies. "It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn"t necessary but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out," Deluca says. And having a goal was also important. "There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal," Deluca adds. Deluca ended up founding Subways Sandwich, the multimilliondollar restaurant chain. | |||

Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that weren"t bad enough, he had no health insurance. After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he"d better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones-a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources. Jason Swencki"s son, Kody, was diagnosed with diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children"s forums(论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over," says Swencki, one of the site"s volunteers. "They know what he"s going through, so he doesn"t feel alone." Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages. These days, Thomas"s main focus is his charity(慈善机构), Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people-225 to date-who can"t afford a diabetic"s huge expenses. Fightit.org has raised about $ 23,000-in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean. Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his fulltime job waiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure," says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar"s original members. "But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now." | |||
