Kids, never underestimate the power of destiny.
Because when you least expect it,
the littlest thing can cause a ripple effect that changes your life.
Take for instance my trip to Chicago.
That security guard was a little bit handsy.
That's funny.
She barely touched me.
Uh, Gate 23. Come on.
If we miss this flight,
I will never forgive myself.
Why was this flight so important?
Let's back up a few months to the fall of 2006.
I had just sold my first building design and become the youngest project manager
in my firm's history.
Suddenly I was being headhunted.
One firm was even considering me to run their entire New York office.
They were flying me in for a final interview at their corporate headquarters in Chicago.
It was the opportunity of a lifetime.
It was my destiny.
There was just one problem.
Hi, wait, two more.
Sorry, you're too late,
I already shut the doors.
Well, I'm sure if we pull real hard we can open them.
Hmm, I wish it worked like that, but see, once I close those doors,
that's it.
Nobody else is allowed down that jet-way.
孩子,千萬不要低估命運的力量,
因為只要你對命運還有期待,
哪怕微不足道的事情也能給你生活帶來意想不到的變化。
就像我當年去芝加哥。。。
那個保安有點咸豬手。
搞笑,她只是碰了下我。
23號登機口,快點。
如果我們錯過了這趟班機,我永遠不會原諒自己的。
這趟班機為什么如此重要?
讓我們回到幾個月前,那是06年秋天,我剛剛賣掉第一份建筑設計圖紙,并且成為了我們公司歷史上最年輕的經(jīng)理。
瞬時,我成為眾獵頭公司的目標,一家公司甚至考慮讓我管理他們紐約辦事處。他們安排我參加最后一道面試,在他們的芝加哥總部。
這是一生中的少有的機會,這會決定我的命運,但是有一個問題。
等等,還有兩個人。
對不起,你們遲到太久了,我已經(jīng)關上登機門了。
能不能通融通融。
我也希望你們能進去,門一旦關上 就沒有辦法能讓每人能夠在下到登機艙。
