I love the names Virginia and Jenny because those are the names of our only granddaughter.
Well, you know, older names, for lack of a better term, are coming back in style, which is great to see.
So I really enjoyed reading the book, Good Power.
But the book opens with a sad story, but it really lays the foundation of your journey to the top of IBM.
Tell us what
you overheard your father telling your mother, I think it was in the garage just before Thanksgiving when you were 16 years old.
That's a great story.
You know, Ursula Burns, who was a previous guest on this show, had a similar story.
And she wrote a book and she learned this from her mom.
Where you are is not who you are.
Because, you know, she grew up in the tenements of New York City.
And it was a similar kind of message in terms of learning from a single mom who made the most of what she had and did so much for her children.
You know, it's so true in so many things in life where stress or difficult times, especially early in your life, you're better for it.
You know, in my case, I grew up as a military brat.
I was a new kid 10 times.
I went to 10 schools in grades one through 12.
And that was difficult on me and my sisters.
But later in life, when you're forced not only to move a lot, but lots of change, you were
I think more resilient because of what you had experienced as a youngster.
And actually that's one of the problems people talk about with, let's say helicopter parents and what have you, parents want to make life a little too easy for children.
