I was a woman who was in the fight place<br >at the fight time. During the spring of my second year at<br >Harvard Business School, I had thirty-two job offers from<br >investment-banking firms, management-consulting firms<br >and Fortune 500 companies. It was a time when corpo-<br >rations were hungry for bfight-eyed, ambitious young<br >MBAs and especially eager for women. My only major<br >dilemma at the time, and it was an enviable one, was<br >whether to work for the formidable, blue-blooded Morgan<br >Stanley investment-banking firm or the more aggressive<br >and dynamic Goldman, Sachs. I was weighing the pros<br >and cons of these over a can of Campbell s Chunky Soup<br >when the phone rang.<br > The caller, an older man, identified himself as J. Leslie<br >Rollins, a recruiter for several of the Fortune 500 com-<br >panies and a former assistant dean at the Harvard Busi-<br >ness School. He said he had a very interesting job he<br > wanted to discuss with me and wouldn t I like to meet<br > him in downtown Boston to discuss the details? Actually<br > I d just come from an interview at the renowned Boston<br > Consulting Group and dreaded another taxi fide into town.<br > I had enough offers to retire on and thought I might cause<br > a mutiny at school if I received one more (the Business<br > Mary Cunningham //5<br >School was a pretty competitive place). My caller, how-<br >ever, was not to be deterred. He said my professors had<br >described me as one of their best students. In fact, he<br >said, one of the Harvard deans had told him, "Mary Cun-<br >ningham has the best chance of being the first female<br >graduate of the Harvard Business School to become the<br >chairman of a non-cosmetics company." Wouldn t I just<br >give him an hour? If only because I was curious, and<br >because I felt I had better not refuse the invitation of a<br >former Harvard dean, I agreed. But it would have to be<br >a very good offer to make me turn down a $55,000-a-year<br >starting salary in New York.<br > For the students at Harvard Business School, there<br >was no higher calling than investment banking. It was the<br >fastest and least painful route to the top. A few years at<br >Morgan Stanley and a conscientious MBA from Harvard<br >could become a chief financial officer by age thirty. The<br >fast track appealed to me but I had deeper urgings as well.<br >My strict Catholic upbringing made me take seriously my<br >mission "to do good" and yet at the same time instilled<br >in me a longing to carry this conviction into the real world.<br >I thought business was the perfect answer. I could try to<br >be a force for good in the business world. Growing up in<br >the sixties had only reinforced this desire. At the same<br >time I could get a taste of the action too. It was a novel<br >approach and one that sometimes antagonized my class-<br >mates. You just couldn t be ambitious and high-minded<br >at the same time.<br > The fact that I was successful didn t helta much either.<br >The day I was admitted to the Century Club, an elite<br >organization for Harvard students considered the most<br >promising by ;heir professors, was the day I lost many ot<br >my friends.t<br ><br >

哇塞,这本书的文笔真是太华丽了!简直就是一场语言的盛宴。作者似乎对每一个词语都有着近乎偏执的考究,句子结构变化多端,时而是简洁有力的短句,时而又是层层递进、气势磅礴的长篇论述,读起来有一种古典文学的韵味,但又充满了现代的活力。它不仅仅是在讲述一个故事,更像是在进行一场精致的文学表演。我花了很长时间去品味那些精妙的比喻和拟人手法,它们为原本可能枯燥的叙事增添了无穷的生命力。说实话,一开始我有点担心这种过于雕琢的文风会显得矫揉造作,但事实证明,作者的功力足以驾驭这一切,让文字的力量得到了最大程度的释放。这本书的内容虽然宏大,但被作者用如此优雅的方式呈现出来,使得阅读过程本身就成了一种享受,仿佛在欣赏一件精美的艺术品。对于那些注重阅读体验和文学质感的书迷来说,这本书绝对是不可多得的佳作,值得反复咀嚼。
评分我必须承认,这本书的背景设定复杂到令人发指,但这种“复杂”恰恰是它最大的魅力所在。作者似乎构建了一个完全自洽的、拥有自己独特历史、文化和规则的微观宇宙。我光是研究书中的地图和时间线就花了至少两个下午,试图弄明白不同派系之间的恩怨情仇和地理上的制约关系。这种沉浸式的世界构建,让我感觉自己仿佛真的成为了那个世界的一部分,而不是一个旁观的读者。虽然偶尔会因为信息量太大而感到头晕,但每一次弄清楚一个隐藏的关联,那种满足感是无与伦比的。它需要的耐心和投入度很高,不是那种可以轻松消费的娱乐产品,它更像是一个需要你投入时间去“破解”的谜题。如果你是一个资深的爱好者,热衷于探索宏大叙事和精妙设定的读者,这本书绝对能让你找到久违的“寻宝”快感,准备好迷失其中吧。
评分坦白说,一开始我以为这会是一本非常硬核的专业书籍,因为里面涉及的背景知识和术语听起来都非常复杂,我甚至做好了随时查阅维基百科的准备。然而,作者的讲解方式简直是天才级别的!他们用最生动、最贴近生活的例子,将那些原本高深莫测的理论系统,拆解成了我可以轻松理解的小块。整个学习过程流畅得不可思议,完全没有那种被知识点淹没的恐慌感。这本书的结构安排也极其合理,每一个章节的过渡都自然得像是水到渠成,让你在不知不觉中就吸收了大量的复杂信息。我特别欣赏作者在关键概念处设置的“停顿点”,它们不是简单的总结,而是引导读者进行自我反思和实践应用的提问。对于那些对某一领域充满好奇,但又害怕复杂门槛的探索者来说,这本书无异于架起了一座坚实的桥梁,让我自信满满地迈入了全新的领域。
评分这本书的叙事节奏简直令人窒息,从第一页开始就紧紧抓住了我的心神,让我完全无法放下。作者对于人物心理的刻画细腻入微,每一个角色的动机都复杂得让人拍案叫绝。我尤其欣赏他们如何巧妙地铺陈线索,那些看似无关紧要的对话和场景,到最后都汇集成一股强大的信息洪流,将整个故事推向高潮。读到一半时,我甚至不得不停下来,对着书本喃喃自语,试图理清所有盘根错节的关系网。它不是那种可以让你在通勤路上随便翻阅的轻松读物,它要求你全神贯注,投入全部的智力资源去追踪每一个微妙的暗示和转折。那种在迷雾中摸索,最终豁然开朗的体验,简直比解开一个世纪难题还要令人满足。这本书成功地构建了一个令人信服的、充满张力的世界观,其中的政治博弈和权力斗争的复杂程度,远超我以往接触过的任何同类题材作品。我强烈推荐给那些喜欢深度思考和挑战智力的读者,准备好迎接一场精神上的马拉松吧。
评分我对这本书最深刻的印象是它对社会结构和人性阴暗面的无情揭露。作者似乎毫不留情地撕开了我们习以为常的表象,直抵核心的腐朽与自私。书中的某些场景让我感到极度不适,但正是这种“不适感”,让我意识到自己以往的认知是多么的肤浅和天真。它提出的那些关于道德困境和生存选择的问题,至今仍在我的脑海中盘旋。我常常会思考,如果我置身于书中的角色境地,我会做出何种选择?这本书的厉害之处在于,它没有提供简单的答案,而是将所有的灰色地带都展现给你,让你自己去面对那些沉重的事实。这不是一本读完就能立刻忘记的书,它会像一根刺一样扎在你的良知上,促使你重新审视自己所处的世界和周遭的人。如果你期待的是一个简单、充满希望的故事,那么你可能会感到失望,但如果你渴望的是一场深刻的、震撼人心的精神洗礼,那么请务必拿起它。
