I once mentioned that Zoe had been through a strictly disciplined childhood both internally (家庭内) and externally (学校里). Even though she constantly complains about the strict regulations on her up-bringing, we, as parents, appreciate what those disciplines turn her into.
She hasn't let anybody down and got herself into medicine, but what makes us more proud of her is that she has been moonlighting (业余时间打工) in retails ever since she got here in Australia, to make her own pocket-money covering her expenses in clothes, parties, gifts and inter-state traveling and stuff.
Today, she told me: Mom, I become so professionally excellent in selling stuff (At this stage, she is a saleswoman in a jewelry store) now, that I don't worry that much about whether I can get myself through medicine or not, because I can totally make a decent living out of sale.
I asked her how excellent a saleswoman she can be now, she replied: I can even sell the ice to Eskimos (爱斯基摩人) 比喻她巧舌如簧, 什么不好卖的东东她都能卖得出去 |
