(2019·湖南省五市十校教研改共同体联考)I started to work as an editor for a travel magazine. I didn't really mind the work, but I wanted something more challenging. My sister sent me some details for a position in a start-up. The job was a seemingly perfect mix of my skills and interests, so I jumped at it.
However, soon after I joined the company，its model changed to focus on K-12 education, and everything about my position changed. I was asked to take on the completely different roles of selling contents to teachers and training people. I had no experience in sales, training or education. On top of that, I'm an introvert (内向的人)．I felt more a little outside my comfort zone.
I knew I wanted to grow as an individual and make a serious impact on the company. I told myself that everything feels overwhelming at first and I should at least try. In a way, I felt like I didn't have a choice. I knew jumping out of the nest was the right thing for me, even though it felt pretty awful.
I was fortunate to be surrounded by very helpful people, both at work and at home. My boss never asked if I thought I could do it; she asked if I was interested in trying.
I spent hours researching my company's products. I asked lots of questions and spoke to so many teachers that there were soon more good experiences than difficult ones. I looked for opportunities to put in extra effort. The more I did, the better I felt.
Over time, I discovered that the job was something I could do and liked doing. It was incredibly rewarding to see the company grow. I also learned it's important to take risks and accept new opportunities, even when you're not sure if you'll do well. I don't think there's anything worse than failing to try. I'm so glad I tried, and it surely paid off.
