The 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.
犹如乘坐过山车一样的感觉令我见识了很多有关当今经营企业所面临的复杂的要求，关乎我自身能力和不断挑战自己的需要，以及要做一名更优秀的领导者需要不断更新的自我期望。
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. No idea what privilege, yet what responsibility comes with being the first woman to lead the company, to be constantly scrutinized 1 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 2 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.
刚成为首席执行官的时候，我从未想到我会如此幸运但同时又面临这么大的挑战，也从未想到这会给我的生活带来如此大的变化。我不知道作为领导这家公司的第一位女性意味着怎样的特殊性和责任；或者是作为当今为数不多的女性首席执行官该怎样为我的华裔文化背景取得平衡、并时刻被审视；或者是在前所未有的环境下担任这一职位所肩负的责任；还有在今天这个瞬息万变的世界做一名优秀的商业领袖所代表的意义。
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.
作为极少数领导着大型跨国企业的女性中的一员，回顾自己快速成长的历程，我总是联想到我的中国文化传统，以及拥有这一宝贵馈赠是多么的幸运。
