Question

     When I was growing up,I was interested in science and math and computers.I loved finding out how things worked.Af fifteen,I bought myself a computer and took it apart.Those were the days when you could take the top off and,with the help of books,figure out what each of the parts did.(today,if you unplugged a computer and took off the top,you'd see abing black chip in there,and you'd have no idea what it does!)Playing with that computer taught me that you learn almost everthing by doing.     My early curlosity about computers helped lead me to the job I have today,which I love.So whenever I see kids becoming passionate about an interest or pursuit,I try to encourage them.Maybe your curiosity will lead you to a job you love,too.     It's good to be curious.I also think it's good to look for opportunities and to try new ways of doing things.     At one of my first jobs,I learned this lesson through experience.I was sixteen,and I got a job with the Houston Post,selling newspaper subscriptions over the telephone,My co-wokers and I would call people and say,"Hey,would you like to buy the Houston Post?"     During my first few weeks,I figured out that most people who wanted to buy the newspaper were either moving or getting married.So I thought,"Well,how can I get the names of all these people who are moving or getting married?"      I did some research and found out that a lot that information is legally available to anyone,Once l learned how to get those names and addresses,l sent out offers to buy the mewspaper.My experiment was a success!Within my first month on the job,l became the top salesperson.      lt was simply a matter of finding an opportunity and trying a new way of doing something.      Kids have fresh approaches to things,and they often come up with great new ideas,When you pursue your interests and follow your dreams,a lot can happen.You can do big things,and you shouldn't be discouraged by people who tell you otherwise.

Answer 1

在我成长的过程中，我开始对科学，数学以及电脑感兴趣。我很喜欢找出事情的来龙去脉。在我十五岁之时，我买了一台电脑并且把它拆开。凭借着书本的帮助，那些日子我可以轻易的打开电脑顶盖，然后弄明白它的每一个部件是如何工作的。（如今，如果你打开一台电脑的顶盖，你就会看见那里有一个必备的黑色芯片，但是你却无论如何也不明白它的用途）玩电脑让我明白了一个道理：亲手实践你几乎可以学会所有东西。我幼时对电脑的好奇心正好帮助我拥有了如今自己所热爱的工作。因此，无论什么时候我看到小孩子对于某种兴趣或爱好产生热情，我就会设法鼓励他们。或许，你的好奇心也将会指导你拥有一种自己热爱的工作。充满好奇心是一件好事。我同样认为，寻找机会，尝试用新办法做事也是一件好事。在我最初的一份工作中，我切身体验了这一课。16岁时，我在《休斯顿邮报》找到一份用电话推销订报纸的工作。我和我的同事会打电话给人们问道：“您好，你愿意买一份《休斯顿邮报》吗”在我工作的前几周，我了解到大多数想买报纸的人要么是刚刚搬家，要么是刚刚结婚。
因此，我想，“那么，我如何能够获得这些刚刚搬家或者刚刚结婚的人的名字呢？”我做了一些调查研究，发现任何人都可以合法获得这些资料。一旦我学会了如何获得这些名字和地址,我就向他们发送买报纸的邀请。我的实验成功了。并且在工作的第一个月,我就成为业绩最好的推销员。它仅是寻找机会并且尝试用新办法做事的问题。孩子们有独特的处理事物的方法，并且经常提出绝妙的新想法。当你寻找兴趣和追求梦想的时候，很多事情都能发生。你可以做大事，但是你不应该因为别人说别样的话而灰心丧气。
