9岁时,我住在北卡罗来纳州的一个小镇。我在一本儿童杂志的后封看到一则招聘贺卡推销员的广告。我认为自己能胜任。征得妈妈的同意后,我让人把全套货物送来。两周后,货到了,我把棕色包装纸扯开,抓起卡片,就冲了出去。三个小时后,我的卡片卖光了,装了满口袋的钱回来,我高喊着:“妈妈,人们都争先恐后地买我的贺卡!”一个推销员诞生了。
12岁时,父亲带我拜访齐格·齐格勒先生,我记得那时我们坐在昏暗的礼堂里听着齐格勒先生演说,他的话激励了所有人,大家情绪都很高昂。离开时我觉得自己无所不能了。上车后,我对父亲说:“爸爸,我也想让人们有这样的感觉。”爸爸问我是什么意思。“我想成为齐格勒先生那样的动员演说者。”我答道。一个梦想诞生了。
