My first job was at a local diner, where I worked for seven years and learned so many lessons, especially from a fellow 1 .
Helen was in her 60s and had extraordinary self-respect, something I was really lacking. I looked up to Helen 2 she was doing what she loved- 3 people-and nobody did it 4 . She always made everyone, customers and co-workers, 5 and feel good.
Being a waitress changed my life. One of my 6 customers was Fred Hasbrook. He always ate an omelet, and when I saw him 7 , I tried to have it on his table as soon as he sat down.
Thanks to the newfound confidence I 8 from Helen, I dreamed of having my own 9 . But when I called my parents to ask for a loan (贷款), they said, "We just don't have the 10 ."

Before long he handed me checks totaling $50,000 -- along with a 12 that read, "The only collateral (抵押品) on this loan is my trust in your 13 as a person. Good people with a dream should have the 14 to realize that dream."
I took the checks to Merrill Lynch, where the money was provided for me. I 15 working at the diner, making 16 for the restaurant I would open. My plans failed, 17 , and I lost the money.
Later I decided to apply for a job at Merrill Lynch. Even though I had no experience, I was 18 and ended up becoming a pretty good agent. 19 I paid back Fred the $50,000, plus 14-percent annual interest. Five years later, I was able to 20 my own firm.
