When a young man was 16, his father seriously said to him, “I'll give you whatever you want before you are 18. But after that, I won't care much about you, and you should give me whatever I want.” When his 18th birthday was coming, the young man began thinking about looking for a job. So he sent his resumes(简历)to many companies he liked on the Internet. "However, most got no replies," he said. “Maybe they were surprised about my primary school education.”
By chance, one of his friends was looking for someone, who could work as an egg porterin the supermarket, for half a dollar a box. Facing lots of difficulties in getting a job, he said, “I'll take this job. At least I can make some money for my gas.” Then every day, he drove his car, his 18th birthday gift, to work in the supermarket. He did that for three months.
Later, he heard that a newspaper was looking for a network technician(网络技术员),so he asked for it.
