Gumption and Guts
進(jìn)取心和勇氣
Ron Meyer was 14 when a friend gave him his first tattoo, a crude design done with ink and a needle. Like many of the guys he hung out with in West LosAngeles, Meyer was a high school dropout, a kid quick with his fists who seemed to get into fights somewhat regularly.
羅恩·梅耶爾第一次紋身時(shí)只有14歲，那個(gè)紋身是朋友用墨水和針完成的一個(gè)粗糙設(shè)計(jì)。像很多混跡在洛杉磯西部的孩子一樣，梅耶爾高中就輟學(xué)了，那時(shí)的他，還是一個(gè)似乎隨時(shí)都會(huì)迅速握緊拳頭面對(duì)打斗的孩子。
Today, Meyer is the president and COO of Universal Studios. As one of the most successful business leaders in Hollywood, he heads up Universal Pictures and Universal Parks &Resorts He's the guy who oversees the production of multimillion-dollar extravaganzas like "King Kong" and "Cinderella Man".
今天，羅恩·梅耶爾是環(huán)球影域的總裁和運(yùn)營總監(jiān)。作為好萊塢的杰出商業(yè)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人之一，他統(tǒng)領(lǐng)著環(huán)球影業(yè)公司、環(huán)球公園及度假村。他還負(fù)責(zé)監(jiān)制了像《金剛》和《鐵拳男人》那類百萬美元巨制的奇幻大片。
Even though Meyer could easilly afford it, he has no interest in getting his tattoos removed. They symbolize just how far he has come, and they remind him of the choices he made-good and bad-along the way.
盡管梅耶爾能輕易支付清除紋身的費(fèi)用，但他并沒有那么做。這些紋身時(shí)時(shí)刻刻告訴梅耶爾他走了多遠(yuǎn)，同時(shí)也提醒他這一路走來所做的選擇，不管是好的還是不好的。
