Williams,former chairman of Wachovia Corporation,discovered that many young people in banking don't know when to stop researching a project and start wrapping it up.

文中的一句名言摘錄如下:
Benjamin Franklin once said. "Then do not squander time,for that's the stuff life is made of. "
譯:本杰明·富蘭克林曾經(jīng)說過:"你熱愛生命嗎?那么就不要浪費時間,因為時間是組成生命的材料。"
