With a firm idea of what he wanted out of life, he firmed up his plans to apply for a job at one particular firm, because although he heard that the boss was firm, that he was also fair, and he was firm in his conviction that working there would firmly lead to his success.

Con un idea firme de lo que quería de la vida, reforzó su plan de solicitar un empleo a una empresa específica, como porque, aunque había oído hablar de que el jefe era estricto, también que era justo, y él creía firmemente que trabajar allí le llevaría definitivamente al éxito.
