When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Zigler. I remember sitting in that dark hall listening to Mr. Zigler   41    everyone’s spirits up to the ceiling. I    42    there feeling like I could do anything. When we got to the car, I turned to my father and said, “Dad, I want to    43    people feel like that.” My father asked me what I meant. “I want to be a motivational speaker just like Mr. Zigler,” I replied. A (An)    44    was born.
Recently, I began seeking my dream of motivating others.    45    a four-year relationship with Fortune 100 Company   46    as a sales-trainer and ending as a regional sales manager, I left the company at the height of my    47  . Many people were surprised that I would leave after earning a six-figure income. And they asked why I would risk everything for a dream.
I made my    48    to start my own company and leave my secure position after    49    a regional sales meeting. The vice-president of our company delivered a speech that changed my life. He asked us, “If a god would offer you three wishes, what would they be?” After giving us a (an)     50     to write down the three wishes, he then asked us, “Why do you need a    51   ?” I would never forget the power I felt at that moment. I realized that   52    I accomplished in the past had prepared me for this moment. I was ready and didn’t need a god’s help to become a motivational speaker. A motivational speaker was born.
Having made that decision, I was immediately    53   . One week after I handed in my notice (辞职信), my husband was laid off from his job, and now we had no    54   . But I held fast to my dream. The wonder really began to happen. In a short time my husband found a better job. And I was able to book several    55   engagements with new customers. I discovered the incredible power of dreams.
