跟下属1:1时说,It's ok to mess up. You don’t have to get it right the first time or every time,他停顿了30秒,之后像泄洪一样告诉我虽然干这行,但非常怕跟人打交道。用户聊完永不相见还好,跟大领导觉得说错一次这关系就得完蛋,干脆不说了。五年好几任经理,没有人告诉他It‘s ok to mess up.
不常来西雅图的朋友来玩,我一般会带去Portage Bay Cafe/Lola吃个burch,Taylor‘s/The Walrus and the Carpenter吃个海鲜,Serious Pie吃个pizza,Paseo吃个sandwich,Beecher’s吃个Mac n cheese,How to cook a wolf吃个晚餐,Rachel’s喝杯ginger beer,Molly moon吃个冰淇淋,超市买个Ellenos酸奶。
Robert Venturi,普利兹克奖得主,书都是跟老婆一起写的。老婆讲课比他犀利多了,前几年普林斯顿还搞了请愿把他老婆加到那个奖上。他老婆说 In this world, if a woman wants to have the same achievement as a man, she needs to be twice as intelligent. Luckily, that is not a hard thing to do.
