In our organization of about 700+ at the time, I was a bit surprised he replied and my co-workers thought I was going to get fired. Instead, he replied simply saying “no,” but he added he was happy to buy me lunch and we enjoyed a nice lunch on him and I had one of the more fascinating lunches of my life. I still keep in touch with him interestingly enough – even after he sold the company for over $4 billion to a company that has the power to gobble up anyone these days.
Badala yake, alijibu tu kusema “hapana,” lakini akaongeza alikuwa na furaha kwa kununua yangu chakula cha mchana na sisi walifurahia chakula cha mchana nzuri juu yake na mimi alikuwa mmoja wa chakula cha mchana zaidi ya kuvutia ya maisha yangu. Mimi bado kuendelea kuwasiliana naye linalovutia kutosha – hata baada ya yeye kuuzwa kampuni kwa zaidi ya $ bilioni 4 kwa kampuni hiyo ina uwezo wa gobble up mtu yeyote siku hizi.
