turned out that my interpersonal skills allowed me to bond
quickly and make friends almost from the start. Not only
was it a successful undertaking, but it allowed me to take a
new direction in my career path.”
■“I accepted a job in another state where I didn’t know a
soul. I was nervous about the job and the transition to a
new place to live. The job turned out to be wonderful, and
among the people I met was my future wife. If I hadn’t
taken the risk of venturing into a new situation, I would
have never had the opportunities I have had in my busi-
ness life as well as my new personal life.”
■“I joined a start-up company as one of the first ten employ-
ees. I knew that it could go either way. I could make some
money on my stock options, or I could be out of a job
rather quickly. It turned out to be the most fun and chal-
lenging work experience of my life. We didn’t get rich, but
we all did well by taking the risk of being first.”
