第64章 智慧人生(11)

好英文娓娓动听Words and Expressions

Today, Avon is proudly known as“The Company for Women”in every country in which we do business.AAnd our ability to provide women with both quality products and a significant earning"s opportunity has became an important competitive advantage.It is one of the reasons our business in China has grown so rapidly right from the start.

Going forward, our strategy for Avon recognized China as the number one market in the world for future expansion, reflecting our strong commitment to bring new business opportunities to entrepreneurial women in every corner of this great country.

As I took back to all that we have accomplished over the past decade and particularly over the past four years, it has been a real period of breakout success for our company……breathtaking, but also exhausting. BThe roller coaster ride has opened my eyes to many things, about the increasingly complex demands of running a business today, about my own competencies and the need to constantly challenge and renew my own commitment to being a better leader.

I had no idea at the moment I became CEO that I would experience such great fortune and such great challenge both at the same time and how enormously my life would change as a result. CNo idea what privilege, yet what responsibility comes with being the first woman to lead the company, to be constantly scrutinized as one of less than a handful of women CEOs today—what it would be like to balance my Chinese cultural background—what the responsibilities of the office would entail in this unparalleled environment.And what it would mean to be a business leader that could distinguish him or herself in today"s world where the game is changing by the minute.

As I reflect on my rapid rise to the top as one of the few women running a major global corporation, I have found myself thinking a great deal about my Chinese heritage and how enormously fortunate I am to have been given this very precious gift.
