唯一的問題是,這次會見的時間正好是我女兒第一次離家去旅行,這對她和她的朋友們很重要,她希望參加幾天的旅行,更需要我和她在一起。
What should I do. There was never a doubt in my mind. The president wouldn't know if I was there or not. But my daughter would. So I went to the bus with her and I never looked back. It didn't affect Avon that I didn't go to the White House. But I also tell women that it is even all right if your job does sometimes come second to your personal priorities. Sometimes the job is more important.. But sometimes your family has to be more important.
我怎么辦?其實我心里從來沒有猶豫??偨y(tǒng)并不知道我是否在場,但我女兒需要我的陪伴。所以我義無反顧地和她一起去了車站。不去白宮不會影響雅芳。但我也要告訴女性朋友,有時候你的工作排在你的私人事情之后是完全可以的。有時候,工作更重要,但有時候,你的家庭更重要。

First is Perseverance. I'm talking about simple hard work and a commitment to stay the course even when times are tough. In today's fast-pace business environment, unexpected challenges come at you from all directions, with no end in sight. Sometimes I read articles about myself and my career path and it makes it sound so easy.
第一是堅持。我所談的是最基本的努力工作和面臨困境時也能如此的信念。在如今快節(jié)奏的商業(yè)環(huán)境下,意料之外的挑戰(zhàn)來自四面八方,看不到勁頭。有時候我讀一些關(guān)于我和我職業(yè)生涯的文章,看上去好像一切都很容易。
