When I was laid off (解雇) from Intel Corporation two years ago, I felt very sad. I’d been in the company since 1996 and had poured a lot of effort into my work. I was afraid that I would not find a better job. ???? Several years ago, I took a comedy class to conquer my fear of public speaking. Like many other performers, I seemed shy in front of people, but after a show, people said, "Hey, you’re amazing on stage!"???? So I thought it was a chance for me to take up comedy. It would pay very little. Luckily, I spent less on my living, and I had also saved a lot during all my years at Intel. ???? I made up jokes while taking the subway, walking around, and talking on the phone. I made efforts to practice, improve myself on the Internet, and perform whenever I had a chance. My new career took off. I’m a frequent flyer, and I get upgraded to the first class on every flight. ???? Recently, I made $12,500 in one night. I’m making more than double what I made at Intel. I’ll probably earn about $275,000 this year, not counting the advertisements I was involved in for a computer company. I will also play a role in a movie next summer. I’ve become pretty well known. ???? In this business, there is no greater excitement than thinking of a joke that makes you laugh, practicing it for a small audience, and then performing it in a theatre of 2,000 people. Getting laid off is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
