You’ve got years you can milk because you’re new as you go into the work force. So take advantage of that.

My first day at Ariel, my boss and mentor John Rogers told me,
我第一天到艾瑞尔公司上班，我的上司和导师约翰·罗杰斯就告诉我：
“You’re going to be in rooms with people who make a lot of money and have huge titles,
“你将要跟一些赚了很多钱、拥有众多头衔的人共事，
and just because you are young and new doesn’t mean that you don’t have great ideas. I want them.”
但仅仅因为你是新来的人这一点并不能说明你没有好想法。我想听到你的好想法。”
