年底了，虽然我还在有条不紊地工作着，但是年终的各种事情，还有为明年工作的准备，加上自己的个人项目，感觉每天都在踢被自己"prioritized"的皮球；擦边球就让它先搁置或飞过吧。
去年的全球销售会议上，大老板Ross曾与大家分享了他自己的座右铭，第30届美国总统Calvin Coolidge关于"坚持不懈 Persistence"的一段话：
"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."---Calvin Coolidge, 30th President of USA, 1872-1933.
我当场就深深地被这段话感染了；马上打印出来，贴在办公室的墙上，经常累的时候读读。其实，Ross本人就是身边的一个活例子。今年的销售会议上，Ross除了重新分享我已经倒背如流的那段话外，又多加了这一句"色彩"更重的激励之语：
"If you are going through hell, keep going!"---Wintson Churchill.
Share with you! Keep going, Anny! Keep rocking, Indium! Cheers!
PS: Indium公司的一位中国代理商曾坦率地对我说：我不理你（客户）喜欢我也好，讨厌我也好，如果你不买我的产品，我就"死缠"着你，每天在你面前转，直到你买我的产品为止……虽然当时我心中暗笑"也要讲究技巧啊"，但是对他Persistence的精神，敬意油然而生！
