| I grew up poor - living with six brothers, my father and a wonderful mother. We had 36 money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was 37 and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could 38 afford a dream. My dream was to be a 39 . When I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, throw a ninety - mile - per - hour fastball. I was also 40 : my high - school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who 41 me the difference between having a dream and showing strong belief. One particular 42 with him changed my life forever. It was a summer and a friend recommended me for a summer 43 . This meant a chance for my first income - cash for a new bike and new clothes, and the 44 of savings for a house for my mother. The opportunity was attracting, and I wanted to 45 at it. Then I realized I would have to 46 summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn't be playing. I was 47 about this. When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as 48 as I expected him to be. "You have your whole life to work," he said. "Your 49 days are limited. You can't afford to waste them." I stood before him with my head 50 , trying to think of how to explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth 51 his disappointment in me. "How much are you going to make at this job?" he demanded. "$ 3.25 an hour," I replied. "Well, is $ 3.25 an hour the price of a 52 ?" he asked. That 53 laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to 54 that summer, and within the year I was offered a $ 20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $ 1.7 million, and bought my mother the 55 of my dreams. | |||

| Several pieces of advice I've gotten in my life have really made a difference. "Be 1 to people." This sounds quite common, but I'll never 2 my father telling me that. I was ten, and I had been rude to someone. He said, "There is no 3 in being rude to anyone at any time. You never know who you're going to meet later in life. 4 , you don't change anything by being rude. 5 you don't get anywhere." " 6 that you can do anything you want to do. Don't let anyone say, 'You're not 7 enough…it's too hard…it's a bad 8 …no one has done that before…girls don't do that. My mom gave me that advice in 1973. And it 9 me to never worry about what others were saying about my 10 direction. "Always do the 11 job you can do at whatever you're assigned, even if you think it's 12 ." Jerry Parkinson, an assistant advertising manager and my boss at P&G, told me this in 1979. Here I had just 13 from Harvard Business School(HBS), and I was assigned to determine 14 the hole in the Ivory shampoo bottle should be: 3/8 of an inch or 1/8 of an inch．I did research, focus groups …and I would come home at night 15 how I had gone from HBS to this. But later I realized that any job you're given is a(n) 16 to prove yourself. "Don't be a credit hog(吝惜赞扬的人). If you're 17 in the neighborhood of good things, good things will 18 to you." Tom Tierney, who was my boss at Bain in 1981 and is now on the eBay board, told me this. It's 19 ? You get ahead by crediting other people. Finally, in 1998, I was in New York 20 the big celebration as eBay went public(上市). My husband is a doctor. I called into his operating room and told him the great news. And he said, "That's nice." | ||||
