My first job was at a local restaurant, where I worked for seven years and learned so many lessons, especially from a fellow 16.
Helen was in her 30s and had extraordinary（非凡的） self-confidence, something I was really 17. I looked up to Helen 18 she was doing what she loved— 19 people better. She always made everyone, customers（顾客） and co-workers（同事）, 20and feel good.
Being a waitress changed my life. One of my 21 customers was Fred Hasbrook. He always ate an omelet（炒蛋）, and when I saw him _22 , I tried to have it on his table as soon as he sat down.
Thanks to the newfound confidence I 23 __from Helen, I dreamed of having my own __24 . 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 25? You’re not smiling today.” I 26__my dream with him and said, “Fred, I know I can do more if somebody 27just have faith in （信任）me.”
Before long he handed me checks 28 __$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（信任） in your 29as a person. Good people with a dream should have 30 __to make that dream come true.”
I took the checks to Merrill Lynch, where the money was provided for me. I 31 __working at the restaurant, making 32for the restaurant I would open. My plans soured（被破灭）, though, and I lost the 33.
Later I decided to apply for a job at Merill Lynch. Even though I had no experience, I was__34and ended up becoming a pretty good agent（代理商，代理人）. 35， I paid back Fred the $50,000, plus 14-percent annual interest（利息 ）. Five years later, I was able to open my own firm（公司）.
