Joe moved to Canada with his family at the age of 41. There were many stressful(压力重的) days for them in the beginning. Since Joe had no job, the savings(存款) they brought with them were diminishing quickly.
One day, Joe went out to look for a job. As he walked, he saw many things on the street that people threw away. Joe could not believe his eyes. “Why would people throw away such things?” he asked himself. Joe saw a “new” television and decided to take it home to see what the problem was.
Since he was 12 years old, Joe’s main hobby has been electronics(电子产品). As a teenage boy, he began to repair radios, TVs and so on.
Joe brought the television home and turned it on. There were pictures on the screen, but there was no sound. He opened the back cover. Before long, Joe found the problem. The loudspeaker(扬声器) was broken. He went out again. Among the waste on the street, he found a toy piano. He carried the piano home. Luckily its loudspeaker worked. Fifteen minutes later, Joe had a TV with both pictures and sound.
Joe began to question people about why they were throwing away electronics. The answer was the same from everyone: getting them repaired was too expensive. People would rather(宁愿) buy new products.
Joe decided to open an electronics repair shop that would offer fair prices.
Today, Joe has been very successful in his new country. Instead of losing hope, he chose to make the best out of a difficult situation.
