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.
