What's 200 Words Have To Do With Your Computer?
When I worked on Wall Street, I considered a
move from one type of bond department to a new type of
department. Even though I had been successful in the
industry for 7 years, I was still afraid I that I wouldn't
know how to be successful in my new department. Then I spoke
with one of the other traders, George Adelle, who was also
moving to the new department, about my fears. He said I'd do
fine... I'd just need to learn some new words and a
different way to do the math on this security. This
conversation forced me to think and what I ended up
realizing was that all that separates one thing from another
is learning 200 new words! That's not only true for
securities... it's true for so many things in life.
