Angie Parker: 我认为成功并非取决于银行账户或简历，而是取决于我如何对待他人以及我是否能坦然面对自己。我过去认为成功是简历和银行账户，但现在我更看重内心的平静和快乐。我追求事业成功是因为我想要不断挑战自己，并创造一些东西。我享受快节奏的创业生活，但我也重视内心的平静。我通过直面恐惧来获得舒适感，例如跳伞。在事业上，我通过夫妻咨询找到了我害怕去上大学的根本原因，并最终克服了这个恐惧。我意识到人脉网络对于职业发展非常重要，并积极地建立和维护自己的人脉。我通过帮助他人来建立人脉，并让对方很容易地联系到我。我使用电子表格和日历来管理自己的人脉，并根据重要程度对人脉进行分类。在生活中，我和丈夫通过良好的沟通和相互支持来维持我们的关系。我们都重视自我提升，并尊重彼此。我选择去爱和尊重对方，而不是纠结于一些小事。我会观察自己行为模式，并决定是否需要沟通。我内心充满活力，但外表保持平静，这有助于我在压力下保持专注。 Ella: 我认为成功对每个人来说都有不同的含义，而Angie的观点是，成功在于舒适地做自己，并真情实感地对待他人。我很好奇Angie是如何在忙碌的创业者和幕僚长的身份中保持平静的。停滞和舒适感并不总是同义词，停滞本身就可能让人感到不舒服。很多人低估了自己的潜力，因为他们害怕面对恐惧。如何长期保持对伴侣的爱和尊重？现代社会对亲密关系的期望更高，人们希望伴侣同时也是最好的朋友。
