Mr Mettler

I had a lecture yesterday night from a Macy's West CEO. He was still quiet young actually, only 65 years old but he has been running a company for more than 20 years. Wow!
I think, some people are really gifted with great fortunate. And he admitted that he was such a lucky guy when he started his first career at the retail field (he has more than 40 years of experience in this field!)

Anyway, I think he is such a great guy. And very down to earth for a CEO in a giant company. I learned a lot yesterday, and here are few things of his pearl of wisdom:

-God gave you 2 ears, 2 eyes and only 1 mouth. So, listen and see all around you, observe and learn, and speak only when you need. If you keep talking, you won't understand what is going on. Listen and watch first, thus you will be ready when you need to talk.

-Be dare and make your decision. If you make a mistake, fix it and learn from it. But if you never decide, you will regret it.
Hmm....I feel knock out when I heard he said this....
