One of my father's favorite sayings as I was growing up was “Try it!” I couldn't say I didn't like something,whatever it might be,until after I tried it. Over the years I've come to realize how much of my success I owe to my acceptance of those words as one of my values. My first job was just one I decided to try for a couple of years until I determined what I wanted to do as a career(职业).Actually 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 mattered that much. I couldn't have been more mistaken. I mastered the skills of that beginning level position and I was given the opportunity(机会)to move up through the company into different positions. I accepted each new opportunity with the thought,“Well,I'll try it;if I don't like it I can always go back to my earlier position.”But I was with the same company for the past 28 years,and I've enjoyed every career change I've made. I've discovered I possess 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 open to trying new opportunities. I've also discovered that if I believe in what I'm doing and work hard at achieving my goal,I will succeed. That's why I am so excited to be a part of CareerFables.com. I think time has come and I am determined to make it a success.
