My first job was at a local restaurant, where I worked for seven years and learned so many lessons, especially from a fellow   36 .
Helen was in her 30s and had extraordinary(非凡的) self-confidence, something I was really  37 . I looked up to Helen  38  she was doing what she loved—  39 people better. She always made everyone, customers and co-workers(同事)  40 and feel good.
Being a waitress changed my life. One of my  41 customers was Fred Hasbrook. He always ate an omelet, and when I saw him _42 , I tried to have it on his table as soon as he sat down.
Thanks to the new found confidence I  43 __from Helen, I dreamed of having my own  __44 . But when I called my parents to ask for a loan(贷款), they said, “We just don’t have the money.”
The next day, Fred saw me and asked, “What’s   45  ? You’re not smiling today.” I  46__my dream with him and said, “Fred, I know I can do more if somebody  47 just have faith in(信任)me.”
Before long he handed me checks  48 __$50,000—along with a note that I have to this day. It reads, “The only collateral(抵押品)on this loan is my trust in your  49 as a person. Good people with a dream should have   50  __to make that dream come true.”
I took the checks to Merrill Lynch, where the money was provided for me. I  51 working at the restaurant, making  52 for the restaurant I would open. My plans soured(破灭), and I lost the  53 .
Later I decided to apply for a job at Merill Lynch. Even though I had no experience, I was__54 and ended up becoming a pretty good agent.   55 ,I paid back Fred the $50,000, plus 14-percent annual interest. Five years later, I was able to open my own firm.
