W: Mickey! Good to see you! It’s been too long!
M: Hi, Suzanne! You’re right! It has been too long!
W: Hey, is everything OK? You seem kind of down.
M: I got laid off last Friday.
W: Oh… I’m so sorry to hear that.
M: They said it had nothing to do with my performance. They just need to try and save on costs. So they’re axing a bunch of jobs.
W: Oh! Losing a job is such a nasty (令人不快的,糟糕的) experience.
M: Yep, it sure is. I guess I have been a bit depressed.
W: I remember when I got fired from my job as a senior manager with a web design company, I felt awful for weeks. But you know something? Getting fired turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me.
M: And why was that?
W: It gave me a jolt (震惊) that I really needed. I was just coasting (得过且过) along in my position day in and day out, never really thinking about my life or my career.
M: So getting fired helped you reflect on these things?
W: Absolutely! I started asking myself what I really wanted to do.
M: That makes sense. Our daily routines can turn into habits. I’ve been working at this company for almost eight years and I have kind of been running on autopilot (自动驾驶).
W: Back at my old job, there were some days where I barely used my brain at all! I just did the same thing over and over again.
M: So what happened after you got fired? Did a new opportunity come your way?
W: Not exactly. Tt took me about a year to figure out that opportunities weren’t going to come my way. 1 learned that you have to create your own opportunities.
M: So that’s when you started your company?
W: Yeah! I always had an interest in gardening, so I thought to myself: There must be a lot of people who also have this interest and would like to have a garden but don’t have the time to set one up.
M: So now you go around making custom-designed gardens for homes and offices, right?
W: Yes! I never would have thought in a million years that my interest in gardening would turn into a career! If I hadn’t gotten fired, I would’ve never found my calling!
M: That’s cool, and it does offer me some hope. I guess I need to do some thinking about what I really want to do.
W: I feel so happy to hear that. Believe yourself. I’m sure you will make a big success!
M: Thanks a lot! I really appreciate your great help!
