When I was nine years old living in a small town in North Carolina, I found an ad for selling greeting cards in the back of a children’s magazine. I thought to myself I could do this. I begged my mother to let me send for a full set of goods. Two weeks later when the cards arrived, I tore off the brown paper wrapper, seized the cards and dashed out of the house. Three hours later, I returned home with no card and a pocket full of money announcing, “Mum, all the people couldn’t wait to buy my cards!” A salesperson was born.
When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Ziegler. I remember sitting in that dark lecture hall listening to Mr. Ziegler raise everyone’s spirits up to the ceiling. I left there feeling like I could do anything. When we got to the car, I turned to my father and said, “Dad, I want to be a motivational (激励斗志的) speaker just like Mr. Ziegler.” A dream was born.
Recently I began following my dream of motivating others. After a four-year relationship with a major fortune 100 company（财宝百强企业）beginning as a sale trainer and ending as a regional sale manager, I decide to leave the company at the height of my career.(事业)
I made my decision to start my own company and leave my secure position after attending a regional sales meeting. The vice-president of our company delivered a speech that changed my life. He asked us, “If an angel would grant（答应）you three wishes, what would they be?” After giving us a moment to write down the three wishes, he then asked us, “Why do you need an angel?” I would never forget the power I felt at that moment. I realized that everything I had got --- the graduate degree, the successful sales career, speaking engagements, training and managing for a fortune 100 company had prepared me for this moment.
Having made that decision, I was immediately tested. One week after I gave notice, my husband was laid off (下岗) from his job, which made our financial situation really tough. It was inviting to turn back to my former company, knowing they wanted me to stay but I was certain that if I went back, I would never leave. I decided I still wanted to move forward rather than end up with a mouth full of “if only” later on.
When I held fast to my dream, even during the difficult times, the great wonders really began to happen. In a short time period my husband found a better job, and I was able to book several speaking engagements with new customers. A motivational speaker was finally born!
48. From the writer’s childhood experience as a salesperson, we can know that ______.
A. she helped support her family by selling greeting cards
B. she was encouraged by her mother to take risks
C. she liked to try her ideas immediately
D. she was interested in reading ads in children’s magazines
