????您能否從更為宏觀的角度為讀者提供一些職場建議？

????我是幸運的,。我就讀的是美國海軍軍官學校（United States Naval Academy）,。學校教育我們，不論身在軍隊還是在民間,，都要報效祖國,。相信我,，我本人絕對支持自由市場,，也希望過上好日子，為家人提供經(jīng)濟保障,，但這個任命對我而言就是響應國家的召喚,。

????Is there a larger lesson for people thinking about careers?

????I was blessed. I went to the United States Naval Academy, and they talk about service to the nation in positions of command and in the civilian world. Believe me, I believe in the free market and want to make a good living and create financial security for my family, but this was a call to service for me.

????I wasn't expecting it. It was somewhat of a dislocation -- I had to move, and I'm 60-some years old. It's a little late in life to try to reinvent yourself. But I thought I could be part of a greater team, and we have created a wonderful team at General Motors. I think our future is reasonably bright, but we're going to have to earn it every day, and it's a rewarding experience for all of us.
