Several pieces of advice I've gotten in my life have really made a difference.
'Be1to people.' This sounds quite common, but I'll never2my father telling me that. I was ten, and
I had been rude to someone. He said, 'There is no3in being rude to anyone at any time. You never know
who you're going to meet later in life.4.you don't change anything by being rude.5you don't get
anywhere.'
'6that you can do anything you want to do. Don't let anyone say, 'You're not7enough…it's too
hard…it's a bad8…no one has done that before…girls don't do that. ''My mom gave me that advice in 1973.
And it
9 me to never worry about what others were saying about my10direction.
'Always do the11job you can do at whatever you're assigned, even if you think it's12 .' Jerry
Parkinson, an assistant advertising manager and my boss at P&G, told me this in 1979.Here I had just13
from Harvard Business School(HBS), and I was assigned to determine14the hole in the Ivory shampoo bottle
should be: 3/8 of an inch or 1/8 of an inch. I did research, focus groups...and I would come home at night15
how I had gone from HBS to this. But later I realized that any job you're given is a(n)16to prove yourself.
'Don't be a credit hog (吝惜赞扬的人). If you're17in the neighborhood of good things, good things will
18to you.' 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 (赞扬) other people.
Finally, in 1998, I was in New York20the 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.'
