My first ever job after college was as a flight attendant. I wanted to travel and could not afford it, so I decided to get myself a job where I could travel. I did it for two years and had great fun.

I've come to the conclusion that liking a person we are required to have dealings with is not of paramount importance. But respect is crucial, on both sides, as is tolerance, and a depth of understanding of those influences that sculpt a character.

We talk about globalization today as if it's some great big new thing, that we've all just discovered. But there's really nothing new about it.

I did what I had to do to get where I wanted to go. I had unearned confidence.

I hated being a flight attendant. I did it for a month and then quit.

Ever since I was 7 years old, I wanted to be great.
