Outline

My first year

My experience and my mistakes
*I poured all of my effort in selling and persuading, hoping that i could make the people see the good parts of the painting.
*I didn't select the customers and talked to whoever passed by.
*I ended up exhausted and I missed the real customers that i should've aimed for.
*I felt really depressed and down until i realized what mistake i've done.
