Luck and a Winning Attitude
运气和成功的态度
Meyer's messenger job included chauffeuring Paul Kohner, a successful agent who represented stars like John Huston, Billy Wilder, Charles Bronson and Lana Turner. Meyer kept his eyes on the road--and his ears on the conversations in the backseat. "Paul would have meetings in his car and talk about deals. I learned the business, and got to know a lot of people."
梅耶尔做跑腿送信的那份工作也包括为保罗·科赫纳开车，他是一位成功的经纪人，约翰·休斯顿、比利·怀尔德、查尔斯·布朗森和拉娜·特纳都是他代理的明星。梅耶尔专注开车，双耳就留意后座的谈话。“保罗会在他的车里开会，并讨论细节，我学会了生意上的很多东西，也认识了很多人。”
Meyer was lucky to work with a good boss-and he had the brains to make the most of that experience. In nearly six years of driving for Kohner , Meyer became his right-hand man. By that time, though he knew the business, he still had to learn a lot about the process.
