Fresh out of college,I was hired as a secretary in a small magazine in Manhattan. For six months,I was leading a city life.

　　　 One day, I_36__some ads of a company in four colors in our magazine. _37__I wrote an “s” instead of the “d” in the _38__ “ads” and the president of the company was invited to “have his ass(臀部)in four colors” in our_39__.

　　　 Guess what? I was fired, but luck showed the editor’s face, who was_40__ for a copywriter. She called out, “You--Joan! Can you__41_ better than you can type?”

　　　 A copywriter was born.

　　　 The magazine _42__soon,then I became a __43_ actress in a Broadway trouper. After it lost its __44__, I got a chance for a two-hour daily radio program on a station.

　This time my family was filling mailbags,_45__ letters to the station,saying how_46__ that new girl was. I thought I was doing a great job there. But one afternoon the program director called me into her office and simply said, “You are fired!”, leaving me _47__what had gone so terribly wrong.

　　　 Six months later,after calling every program director in town. I went to work for another major-market radio station, doing 4-minute stories for a low$1.5 each.

　　　 Today, 28 years later, I am still here with a 2-hour daily talk show and over a million listeners a week.

　　　 I was young when those firings happened, but the process is still the same. Firings know no sex or age. So don’t be afraid and move on. Persevere! It might turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to yuu.
