Question

When he was 16, his father seriously said to him, “I’ll give you whatever you want before you are 18. But after that, I won’t care much about you, and you should give me whatever I want.” When his 18^th birthday was coming, the young man began thinking about looking for a job. So he sent resumes(簡歷) to many companies he liked on the Internet. But, most got no reply, he said, “Maybe they were surprised about my primary school education.”

By chance, one of his friends was looking for someone, who could work as an egg porter(搬運工) in the supermarket, for 0.5 Yuan a box. Facing lots of difficulties in getting a job, he said, “I’ll take this job. At least I can make some money for my petrol(汽油).” Then every day, he drove his car, his 18^th birthday gift, to work in the supermarket. He did that for three months.

Later, he heard that a newspaper was looking for a network technician(網絡技術員), so he asked for it. But they were also worried about his school education. He practiced his skill right in front of the computer, and showed the managers web pages he had designed. He started to work the next day, and became the director of network department in less than a year.

And now, the 23-year-old man is a boss. In January 2005, he started a magazine for children, with himself as the editor in chief（主編）. And the only writer was his father.
