Luck and a Winning Attitude
運氣和成功的態(tài)度
Meyer's messenger job included chauffeuring Paul Kohner, a successful agent who represented stars like John Huston, Billy Wilder, Charles Bronson and Lana Turner. Meyer kept his eyes on the road--and his ears on the conversations in the backseat. "Paul would have meetings in his car and talk about deals. I learned the business, and got to know a lot of people."
梅耶爾做跑腿送信的那份工作也包括為保羅·科赫納開車，他是一位成功的經(jīng)紀人，約翰·休斯頓、比利·懷爾德、查爾斯·布朗森和拉娜·特納都是他代理的明星。梅耶爾專注開車，雙耳就留意后座的談話。“保羅會在他的車里開會，并討論細節(jié)，我學會了生意上的很多東西，也認識了很多人。”
Meyer was lucky to work with a good boss-and he had the brains to make the most of that experience. In nearly six years of driving for Kohner , Meyer became his right-hand man. By that time, though he knew the business, he still had to learn a lot about the process.
