　　阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
　　I have been good at art since I was a kid.When I created my social media account,I got a nice platform to express and showcase my art.Then an idea came to my mind−why not earn money through something I really enjoy doing?So I set up an online art shop and displayed my paintings.In the beginning,I really wanted it to work,but I didn't really have a belief that people would buy my art.I wanted it to happen but it just seemed impossible.I was just posting my art in my shop.　Soon I thought it was not happening and that it wouldn't happen.I just dropped my idea.
　　One night before sleeping,　I was just wondering how it would actually feel to be receiving mail on my shop email address with someone telling me that he wanted to buy a painting.It would just feel so good because it really meant something to me.It was not just about making money,but it was about me and my art receiving love from people across the world.
　　Two days later,I happened to check the messages from my online shop.And trust me;I had never,ever checked it before.OMG!There was a message from a fellow asking me about one of my paintings.He was asking whether it was still available.I just got so many butterflies in my stomach!Because that message was sent the day before,I didn't know whether he'd be still interested.　　I messaged him and he immediately responded and sent me the money!
But the story didn't end there!
　　It was my first time that I had shipped my product and it turned out that this guy was from a different state so the courier people(快递员)
told me that it would go by air.The charge for the courier was twice more than the cost of my painting.So at the courier's office,my heart sank.I doubted whether there would be anyone who paid a courier charge that was higher than the price of the product.I believed I had already known his answer,but I still decided to ask him if it was okay with him.

答案： After a moment, I received his reply. To my surprise, the guy was OK with the charge! In no time, I finished all the work I needed to do for the delivery. Several days later, I got a message from him with a picture of my painting hanging in his living room, saying that his family and friends all love it. It made me so happy! It meant so much to me, and I knew my paintings were appreciated by others.
Later, I continued my business. I started to receive more and more orders. Now every art piece I have created gets sold straight away and it gives me the power to create more and more excellent paintings. I just want to tell you to believe in yourself. Your ability is the key to success. Recognise what you are good at and keep going. Then you will definitely get what you truly desire!
