One of my father’s favorite sayings as I was growing up was “Try it!” I couldn’t say I didn’t like
21
, whatever it might be,
22
I tried it. Over the years I’ve come to
23 how much of my success I owe to my
24
of those words as one of my values. My
25 job was just one I decided to try for a couple of years until I
26
what I want to do as a career（职业）.
27
I believed I would work for a few years, get married, stay home and raise a family, so I didn’t think the job I took
28
that much. I couldn’t have been more
29
. I mastered the skills of that beginning level position and I was given the opportunity（机会）to 30
through the company into different
31
. I accepted each new opportunity with the 32
,”Well, I’ll try it; if I don’t like it I can always go back to my
33
position. ” But I was with the same company for the past 28 years, and I’ve
34
every career change I’ve made. I’ve discovered I
35
a large number of different talents（才能）and skills that I never would have thought were within me had it not been for my being
36
trying new opportunities. I’ve also discovered that if I
37
what I’m doing and work hard at achieving my
38
. I will succeed. That’s why I’m so
39
to be a part of CareerFables. com. I think
40
has come and I am determined to make it a success.
