I was ten, and I had been rude to someone. He said, "There is no 3 in being rude to anyone at any time.

Tom Tierney, who was my boss at Bain in 1981 and is now on the eBay board, told me this. It's 19 ? You get ahead by crediting other people. Finally, in 1998, I was in New York 20 the big celebration as eBay went public(上市). My husband is a doctor. I called into his operating room and told him the great news. And he said, "That's nice." | ||||
