My father started his own business in the 1980. For a breadwinner with seven children, it was a _________ decision.

To improve himself, my father spent his evening _________ a business school that offered two-year programs for people interested in becoming _________ and administrative assistants. Besides, my father read the town newspaper every morning, and I _________ he would inevitably read the classified section, _________ the “help wanted” advertisements. As a kid, I thought such _________ was only for people seeking a position.

One day, I asked him, “Dad, you have a job. Why do you read the ‘help wanted’ section every day?” “Well,” he replied, “it’s _________ for me to know what the employers want for their jobs and what are the things they’re _________.” A light bulb went off in my mind. Yes, he obviously wasn’t looking through the “help wanted” section for himself. He wanted to stay _________ with a hiring mindset. Meanwhile, he __________ something new to develop his own business.

Recently, as a runner, I was __________ by an article about On, a company manufacturing athletic shoes. It won net sales of $345 million in the first six months of 2022 and it receives about 70,000 __________ per year. One of the key __________ the owners seek in new hiring is “an explorer mindset”, which is just what my father owns.
