I'm a rather smart person who has spent nearly 10 years learning mechanics (機械學(xué)), but I have no formal education. I have always struggled to make people trust me.
This year, I started another factory job, which provided a bit higher pay than my last one. I was making 13.50 an hour at my last job and hardly made a living. I felt I would probably live a better life! My neighbour bought a used motorcycle that everyone thought it had some serious damage. After taking a look at it, I said that I would be able to repair it. As a result, I saved them 2,000 that they expected to pay to rebuild it. They were impressed with my work and told many of their friends about me. I got a lot of new business just through word of mouth.
In about two months I had over a dozen people coming to me for work and I was making great money. I was making thousands a month from part-time jobs on a good month. But because of the instability of the work, it was not certain for me to get enough money every month. I still couldn't leave my day job at that point.
Then I got a job through one of my customers working on heavy equipment and diesel trucks (柴油汽車). I was able to impress them by solving difficult problems quickly. They offered me another job that started even higher—17 an hour. I finally made some progress.
In one year's time, I went from being the lowest level worker to having bosses ask me to work for them. Now I can honestly say I feel truly proud of myself and my skills.
