参考范文：
John went into the company as an ordinary worker but three years later he ended up as general manager. He owed his success to the company's trust and his own efforts. In my opinion, his biggest advantage was that he could make out some problems that the company faced and then gave the leaders reasonable suggestions. Thus, he got the leaders' approval. No wonder he was selected for promotion. In short, he was a person who wouldn't let others down.
