财富忠告：大胆说出来，下决心改变它，你就可以创造奇迹！

拉夫雷（保洁公司的掌门人）

遇到困难时，只要你大胆地说出来，并下决心改变它，你就可以创造奇迹。

有勇气执着地进行艰苦的工作。

拉夫雷：我母亲鼓励我做一个独立自信的人。她的劝告在我工作第六年差点离开保洁公司（P&G）时起了作用。我想离开P&G的原因是那里的官僚气氛令人窒息，公司变化如此之慢。Steve Donovan是当时P&G肥皂业务的负责人，我向他递交了辞呈。他了解了我想离开P&G的原因是“官僚主义”后，说：“你是在逃跑。你没有勇气留下来改变这一切。你还会从你下一份工作中逃跑。”

这番话的确激怒了我。我留了下来。从那时起，每当工作遇到困难时，我都会大胆地说出来。我体会到，只要你大胆地说了出来，并且下决心改变它，你就可以创造奇迹。

Have the courage to stick with a tough job.

Lafley：My mom encouraged me to be independent and to be myself, and her advice was in my mind when I almost left P&G in my sixth year. I was getting out of P&G because I thought the bureaucracy was so stifling and the change was so slow.Steve Donovan was in charge of the soap business, and I handed him my resignation. He kept working me over until he got to the root of my problem with P&G, which was the bureaucracy. He said: “You’re running away. You don’t have the huts to stay and change it. You’ll run from the next job too.”

That really ticked me off. I stayed. And from then on, every time something didn’t work, I spoke up. I realized that you can make a difference if you speak up and set your mind to changing things.
