阅读理解 For many years, I knew I wanted to be a music video director. After graduation, I moved to Los Angeles, where I earned a degree. Fortune smiled upon me as I quickly worked at important positions. Young and ambitious, I worked in the field I'd dreamed of for years. One day, at an award show, one of the production managers remarked that I could be a "powerhouse". I knew I wanted to be happy and enjoyed what I did, but I wasn't sure if I could be a "powerhouse". Not long after that, I was laid off from my position. Back to Florida, I began to think about my next career. In Florida, I worked at a financial company. The pay was good, but a few months later my creative spirit sent an S. O. S. to my brain, signaling I wasn't making the best use of my talents. I didn't have the money back to Los Angeles, nor could I stay in an unsatisfied job. S. O. S. alarmed again. Then I did creative writing during my spare time. To motivate myself, I was devoted to authoring a children's book. I was also determined to get the book published. It was not that easy. However, I continued sending out my work. It took between three and four years to finally attract the interest of a publisher. I held a copy of my beautiful children's book in my hands. I found a happy place within and a new realization. I may not have become a powerhouse, but I accomplished a goal. Success found within is how you define it, how you live it and always have something to fight for, not fear.
