When I was 14,I began an after-school job to work for a newspaper,The Houston Post.I was sent to some of the city’s worst neighborhoods to sell newspapers door to door.Even though the work was very hard,I was thankful for it.
It was a challenge because people didn’t like a stranger knocking on their doors,especially a kid trying to get them to buy something.Once a man closed his door in my face heavily and shouted,“I don’t want any paper.” I forced myself to knock again and was able to tell him how great the paper was.I ended up selling him a subscription(订阅).I was soon among the top subscription sellers and,like other successful salesmen ,was given responsibility(责任) for training newcomers.
Around this time I started playing the guitar.Before long I was playing in a band.When I turned 18,I tried to become a professional musician.I never lost sight of this dream.I’m sure it came from what I learned from knocking on strangers’ doors.
That experience helped me in many ways.Early in my music career I was locked in a legal dispute(纠纷) with a former manager.He pressured me to back off,but I refused.
Having all those doors closed in my face as a kid gave me the strength to stand up to this man.But this time there was one difference:I was the one saying no.And I won.

我14岁时,在一家报社——休斯顿邮报做兼职.我被安排到本城最不安全的街区挨家挨户发送报纸.尽管这份工作很辛苦,我还是对它充满谢意.这项工作充满挑战因为人们不喜欢陌生人登门,尤其不喜欢一个试图说服他们买报纸的陌生小孩造访.曾经有个人当着我的面重重地甩手关上门,吼道:“我不需要任何报纸.”我强迫自己再次敲门并力陈这报纸有多好!最后以他订阅这份报纸而结束.我很快像其他的成功销售人员一样,跻身于最佳报纸订阅推销人的行列,并被委托培训新人的工作.
在这期间我开始学弹吉他.没过多久,我成了一个乐队的吉他手.到我18岁时,我努力成为专业音乐人.敲陌生人的门推销报纸——这一艰难的工作教会我很多,使我坚信成为专业音乐人的理想一定会成真.
这一工作经历在多个方面对我有益.在我早期音乐事业生涯中,我与前任经纪人发生了法律纠纷.他施压想让我退让妥协,但是我拒绝了.在我还是小孩子的时候,当着我的面,有那么多人拒我于门外,这些挫折给了我坚强应对前任经纪人的力量.而这次有所不同的是,我是说“不”的那一方,而且我赢了!
