题目内容
the name of the old lady, who was a customer on the paper route in my hometown when I was a twelve-year-
old boy. Yet it exists in my memory that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness which I shall never forget.
On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old lady's house. The
object of our play was to observe how the stones changed to missiles as they rolled to the edge of the roof.
I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped
from my hand as I let it go and headed straight not for the roof but for a small window on the old lady's back
porch. At the sound of crashed glass, we knew we were in trouble and ran away.
I was too scared about getting caught that first night to be concerned about the old lady with the broken
window in winter. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn't been discovered, I started to feel
guilty for her misfortune. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no
longer able to act comfortable in her presence.
I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars
to cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for
breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it.
I waited until it was dark, snuck up to the old lady's house, and put the letter I didn't sign through the letter
slot in her door. Once again, I could have the freedom of looking straight into the old lady's kind eyes.
The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that I was receiving
from her. She thanked me for the paper and gave me a bag of cookies she had made herself.
Reaching for the cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was
surprised. Inside were the seven dollars and a short note that said, "I'm proud of you!"

| When you are in a place where you are hunting for a new job or career, you will find that there are several things needing your atten tion. Jobs and careers are fewer than you might entirely be prepared for; especially when satisfying employment is something you need to seriously think about. How are you going to find the job that you want and how are you going to avoid traps in your way? When you want to make the most out of your job search, take a moment and think about the things that you must avoid at all costs. One of the most important rules is, never to compromise on your requirements such that it will negatively affect your life and peace of mind at a later stage. Keep in mind your basic expectations from a job. It might be something along the lines of increased monetary pay ment or you might find that it has something to do with benefits or time off. Whatever it is that you count as your basic requirements, make sure that you do not accept a job without it. Your requirements might be difficult to get, but you have all the rights to try and a chieve them. That being said, don't shy away from odd jobs that might actu ally take you to the place that you want to be in, eventually. Some- times, finding the right job is a matter of luck and chance after you have been searching and putting in a lot of efforts. And if something unexpected happens, remember that taking chances is something you might want to seriously consider. You are in a place where you are thinking about moving forward, so don't be surprised by what route it might take to get there. As long as you keep your goals in mind, you are going to be doing much better than other people are during their job search. If you are looking for the right career, another thing that you can do to make sure that you get the right kind of employment is to advertise yourself. When you do nothing to push yourself forward, you will be the one suffering for it. If required, motivate yourself and try to look at all that you possess by way of positive traits. Make sure that you can present your skills and abilities in the best light possi ble. If the jobs that you have set your sights on are challenging, set targets for yourself and work towards them in a systematic and fo cused manner. The more efforts you put into marketing yourself, the better will be your chances of obtaining the job of your choice. Remember that when you are working on a job search, you should not shortchange yourself. This is because you will only hurt yourself by aiming low. What to avoid during your job search | ||||||||
