18.Dear daughters,Most parents tell their children,"You can be anything you want when you grow up."I feel the same and I say this often.But I also want you to understand that the dream itself comes from hard work,some good luck and good timing.
Girls,here are some words of wisdom as you make your way in the world,from an entrepreneur(企业家)and from your mama.
1.Be open-minded to changing your path(even several times)along the way
In high school,I wanted to be a politician.I left my hometown and went off to college in Washington,DC.There,I discovered that I loved to support women.It taught me that I'm creative,a strong leader and great at marketing.As a result,I moved on to be the head of a national healthcare nonprofit.Becoming a mother while in that job opened my mind to launching a breast pump bag(储奶袋)business.Now I run a highly successful company that I started up on my own.
Figure out what you are good at and what you are passionate about.Keep an open mind,the initial(最初的)path you choose may lead you into other areas.
Don't waste your money or time,but constantly change what you are doing professionally based on what you are learning about yourself.
2.Failure is critical to your success
I won't tell you to feel good about failure.Failure can be heartbreaking.But I will tell you that every failure I've had along the way has absolutely made me better.
Failing the big math exam in high school and going to summer school was embarrassing.I eventually passed,and I've never failed an exam again.I learned from that experience to ask for help.Now,I ask for help in business all the time.
Being passed over for a significant job opportunity that I was more than qualified for because of unfair assumptions (being too young for the role) hurt me.I had a three-month pity party.And then I went out and got a big job at a national organization at age 27.It's okay to get angry!Take that and turn it into positive action.
I'm proud to be a role model to you as a mom and an entrepreneur.I hope I inspire you to believe that you can be anything you want and you can have everything on your list.It will be my pleasure to watch your lives unfold before my eyes.
Love,
Your Mom
