9、One of my father’s favorite
sayings as I was growing up was “Try it!” I couldn’t say I didn’t like something, 1 it might be, 2
I tried it.Over the years I’ve come to 3 how much of my success I owe 4
my acceptance of those words as one of my values.My 5 job was just one I decided to try for a
couple of years until I 6 what I wanted to do as a
career. 7 ,
I believed I would work for a few years, get married, stay at home and 8
a family, so I didn’t think the job I
took 9 that much. But I couldn’t have been more

move up through the company into different 11 .I accepted each new opportunity with the 12 :“Well, I’ll try it.If
I don’t like it, I can always go back to my
13 position.” But I was with the same company
for the past 28 years, and I’ve 14 every
career change I’ve made.I’ve discovered I 15 a large number of different
talents and skills.If it had not been for my being
16 trying new opportunities, these talents and skills wouldn’t have been within me.I’ve also discovered that if I 17 what I’m doing and work hard at achieving my 18 , I will
succeed.That’s why I am so
