3．The best mistake I ever made was when I was 24 years old and a senior at New York University （NYU）．At the time，I was planning to get a law and business degree after graduation and wasn't even job hunting．
    One day，I walked into the student center looking to get a soda，but instead found a roomful of students wearing suits and ties and holding a stack of resumes （简历）．Clearly，I had accidentally walked into a job fair．I was casually dressed and had a scarf on my head because I hadn't washed my hair that morning．I tried to walk across the hall when a man stopped me with his hand reached out．"Hi，my name is Donny McKenthan．Would you like to work for IBM？"I replied，"Uh，no，thank you，I'm just getting something to drink from that machine over there．"
    I ended up having a wonderful conversation with him，but I told him there was no way he could convince me．My course was set．I went out for dinner that night with some friends．When I mentioned my story，they couldn't believe I was foolish enough to turn down interviewing with this amazing company!I went home that night，dug out his card from the garbage bin and called him back．
    After a series of successful interviews，an IBM manager called me to extend an offer，which would be followed up in a few days in writing．When I asked what the salary was，he cryptically（含糊其辞）said 18，000．Inmymind，Ithought18，000 a year was low，given what I had been earning for part-time work paying my way through NYU．So I told him I thought I should earn more，and started to negotiate．He was surprised and explained that the starting salary for all trainees was set in store．
    The next day，I received the offer in the mail．As it turned out，I misunderstood the offer---I would earn $1，8000 a month．That was a great salary，so of course，I took the job．I never did tell my manager about my mistake，but a few months later he placed me in sales because I was the only trainee who had tried to negotiate a starting!That comedy of errors ended up being a wonderful 22-year career at IBM．
