Carly Fiorina Speech

Today the well-established businesswoman delivered a speech here.

She described her career in a very interesting way
- became "so unemployable" upon graduation from Stanford with a bachelor degree at medieval history and Philosophy.
- then went to law school to please parents
- four semesters later hated law school so as to quit. Became drop-off and unemployable.
- the only job she got afterwards was to work as secretary. She tried her best on this job, ("Don't think about next job!) and eventually won opportunities to move up ...

Leadership is about seeing and seizing possibilities, as these two men took chance on me showed.

It is about changing. "When opportunities knock, always require you go out of comfort zone.” Generally, a lot of time has been lost when everybody says it is time to go.

Diversity of opinions is quality indicator of decision-making.

Ethics, Values, Judgments and Prospective are the most fundamental law in life and business.

No matter how many values are put on the wall, nobody will believe in the talk if the leaders do not walk the walk.

(What would you do differently at HP if you could?) Insist more strongly.

(Would you go back to HP if you could?) Life is about moving forward.

The most important is to find your passion. Take your time to find it.

You make choices. You have to accept the consequences.
