励志名人偶像胡立阳：我是如何走红的

很多人认为自己很努力工作，我会说：“你很努力吗？可是你并没有讲话讲到嘴巴流血呀。”

我天生乐观，记得小时候跟别人打架，打到上下排牙齿都掉了，妈妈看到我的模样，心疼地哭了起来，可是我依旧很快乐。妈妈不解地问我为什么？我说：“牙齿都掉了，我从今以后就不用刷牙了。”

从事行销业，我们没有摆臭脸的资格，每天都要笑脸迎人。微笑是会传染的，只要你带着微笑，别人也会对你微笑，气氛就会跟着改变，所以人要尽可能地微笑，把欢乐传给别人。

我的第一份工作是在福特汽车当会计，工作起来驾轻就熟，可是我做得并不快乐。我宁可多绕点远路，也不要在一个我不喜欢的地方工作一辈子。亲友听说我离职了，都觉得很不可思议，但我认为如果不能找到适才适性的工作，这辈子绝对不会快乐。

科学家会发明东西，艺人会表演唱歌，那是他们的专长，那我的专长是什么？我左思右想，发现我的专长就是福特汽车最不喜欢我的地方——我很爱讲话。老板常瞪着我说：“Leon，我是雇你来工作，不是来讲话的。你可不可以不要讲话，不要影响别人上班？”

当面试新工作时，我告诉每个老板I like talking, everyone laughed. Then they asked me what else I wanted? I said I don't like complicated administrative work, so I hope there is less of it, and let me talk from morning till night, with the best benefits. Every boss laughed at that 3 requests but one boss didn't laugh he called other colleagues to ask me again. He thought these three requirements were too funny but not me because I'm serious.

Although many young people are looking for a job and trying their best to hide their weaknesses in order to get hired easily. But if you really want to be happy in your job then you must tell the truth about yourself and your abilities.

My story shows that even though my parents told me not to act strange or different from others when growing up as an adult I have always been determined to follow my own path even if it means being rejected by society.

When no one supports you only yourself can support you through thick and thin.

In conclusion my experience tells us that we should never listen to others advice blindly especially when they tell us something bad about our choices or decisions because most people are ordinary while we can choose be extraordinary by going against the flow of society which requires huge sacrifices but ultimately leads us towards success.
