Finding "the job" before you commit, that's an excellent advice........................................

However, I take you back some 22 years ago, there I was sitting in Puerto Rico after been laid off from working for Crowley on the Tug Boats, and on that day I decided that I should try the U.S.A. To the local newspaper store I went and purchased a newspaper from Orlando Florida, the main reason it was a growing city without Snow.

I took the paper home, I opened the real estate map section, I closed my eyes, and I point to a location on the map, I opened my eyes and my finger landed in West Colonial Drive, I took a loan for 1k from my Mother and within two days I was on my way, one small suitcase and my BMX bike, I applied to every single place that repaired Diesel engines, I even went to one of the places five times, and finally they hired me cutting grass at $6.50 an hour, from there It was a journey until a day like today that I work for one if not the biggest Medium Speed Diesel engines manufacture in the world.

Today's is much more difficult to pull such of stuns. However, sometimes you have to gamble in life to get somewhere; at times we are so cautious that we are our number one enemy.
