Flood damage cleanup is an unforgettable experience for me. I have seen a number of news reports on television showing houses that have been by natural flooding and how the different there are coping and starting their flood damage cleanup.

I wished I had known earlier the fact that I was a low achiever because there was a reason beyond my control. Then I have worked so hard in my late twenties and early thirties. But I just didn’t that. I was writing and writing. I was working for no other reason than to hear people praise me.
Most people who university read at least twice as fast as I do. I can never tell my left my right. I avoid dialing a telephone if I can help it, because I sometimes have to try three times before getting the number . I hear that recording “The number you have reached is not ” more than any man on earth.
Despite my I view my dyslexia(difficulty in reading) as a gift, not a curse(诅咒). Many dyslexics are good at right brain, namely abstract thought ,and that is my king of creative writing is. I’m starting with and coming up with something that didn’t exist before. That’s my strong point. I my career to Ralph, Salisbury, my writing instructor at the university of Oregon, who looked past my misspellings and gave me and hope. I just carried on and never looked . I’m also very“visual”(视觉的).This means nothing in school, but when I write books or scripts, I’m seeing everything in my imagination. I write . I go like the wind and can up to 15 pages a day. Writing is not the . I have no problem downloading; it is inputting things get messed up.
The real I have for dyslexics is not that they have to with messy input, but that they will quit on themselves before they finish school. Parents have to create victories whenever they can, it is music, sports or the arts. You want your dyslexic child to be able to say, “Yeah, reading is . But I have these other things I can do.”

What is real success? I am sure many would come up with answers like lots of money, a big house, a new car, and so on.
It has been interesting to see how my own idea of success has through the years. When I was young, I was eagerly reaching for material success. I chose my jobs accordingly and ended up in . Sure enough, I did earn some pretty good pay checks.
But then a different feeling started to . I began to realize selling was not what I wanted to do all my life. After all I was often forced to sell products that did not really suit customers. All that matters is the amount of money that is made. I became very unhappy.
I came to realize that even with big pay checks I did not feel successful. That is when my search for success turned inwards, I sales and chose another profession–helping people. The feeling of relief and belonging was great–and suddenly I felt successful again. Even though I earned than before, I was much more content.
Then I returned to my old love–writing.
I realized I felt most successful when I loved what I did never the money. Then for my own I define success by the feeling of contentment.
Always remember–you are not here to anyone else’s life but your own. It is not your obligation (义务) to please others with your life – only yourself, because only if you are happy yourself can you happiness to others. You cannot give what you do not have.
So be true to yourself and your own joyful path to your own of success.
