By the time I was 12, my grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics(化妝品). I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye.

The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be a Rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener. 5. and expect they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.
