财富忠告：心态平和，心胸宽大

惠特曼（全球最大的国际贸易电子商务平台之一：亿贝eBay的掌门人）

心态平和，心胸宽大。

宽仁，尽力――最重要的是：风物长宜放眼量。

惠特曼：我一生当中得到的几条忠告的确让我的生活发生了变化。

“对人要亲和。”听上去平常，但我从未忘记父亲告诉我的这句话。我10岁时对某人比较刻薄。父亲说：“在任何时候都没有理由对任何人刻薄。你永远不知道今后的生活中会遇到谁。再说，对人刻薄不会改变任何事，也不会对你有任何好处。”

“记住，你可以做任何你想要做的事情。不要听人说，你不够聪明……这件事太难……这是个愚蠢的想法……以前从未有人做过……那不是女孩做的事。”我母亲1973年给了我这条忠告。这使我在今后的事业生涯中从不在乎别人说什么。

“不管接受了什么任务都尽力做好它，即使这项任务令人厌烦。”Jerry Parkinson，助理广告经理、我在P&G时的老板在1979年时告诉我。这之后，我意识到，你所得到的任何工作都是证明你自己的机会。

“不要做自私自利的人。心底无私天地宽。”这是真的，如果你对别人无私，最终会得到回报。

Be nice, do your best----and most important, keep it inperspective.

Whitman：Several piecesof advice I’ve gotten in my life have really made a difference.

“Be nice to people.”This sounds like a platitude, but I’ll never forget my father telling me that.I was 10, and I had been mean to someone. He said, “There is no point in being mean to anyone at any time. You never know who you’re going to meet later in life. And by the way, you don’t change anything by being mean. Usually you don’t get anywhere.”

“Remember that you can do anything you want to do. Don’t let anyone say, you’re not smart enough…it’s too hard…it’s a dumb idea…no one has done that before…girls don’t do that.” My mom gave me that advice in 1973. And it allowed me to never worry about what others were saying about my career direction.

“Don’t be a credit hog. If you’re constantly in the neighborhood of good things, goodthings will happen to you.” It’s true----you get ahead by crediting other people.
