问题详情:
Joan Rivers was determined to become a successful comedian(喜剧演员). “As far back as I remember,”she said, “I wanted a career in show business. But people were telling me no.”
She was living in a dirty cheap hotel and had been turned down by every talent agent in New York, when she got her first job in 1958. How exciting! Maybe this was her big break. But after her act on the first night, the manager called her over, saying“You're fired”.
“I was completely disappointed,”she sighed. “Fired! Fired from my first job! I went back to my hotel room helpless. I really could not stop crying.”
Soon she was booked again and then fired from her second job. “There's just no work,”all the agents would say, shaking their heads, or worse yet, “You're too old. If_you_were_going_to_make_it,_you_would_have_made_it_by_now.”Even her mother told her, “You have no talent. You're throwing your life away.”
“I had no money. My office was a phone booth(电话亭)in Grand Central Station. I lived out of one small suitcase and slept in my car,”said Joan Rivers, a famous comedian, author, mother, businesswoman and bestknown for her Emmy Awardwinning television talk show and many other successes.
What does Joan have to say about all those tough presuccess days? “All in all—not an easy time. It did, however, serve to shape the determination and an inner(内在的)strength that I have called on in my life many times since.”
And Joan's final words to us:“Never stop believing! Never give up! Never quit! Never!”
