当年我从杜克大学毕业,思考下一步该怎么走。我打算在当年秋天去读哈佛商学院,因为我想让自己离家近点儿。三十多年前,没有互联网、没有手机,甚至打国际长途都是一件大事情。如果我离家太远甚至去了海外,我怎么跟我的家庭和朋友保持往来呢?所以,当我完成学业后,便加入了通用公司在纽约的办事处。他们问我愿意在哪里工作,我说,除了海外,啥地方都可以。 That year I graduated from Duke University, think about how to go next. I plan to go to Harvard Business School in the fall, because I want to get myself closer to home. Thirty or more years ago, there was no Internet, no cell phones and even international calls were a big deal. If I stay too far and even go overseas, how do I keep in touch with my family and friends? So when I finished my studies, I joined GM’s New York office. They asked me where I was willing to work and I said that whatever the place is possible, except overseas.
