ve their entire lives to achieve great success in a single industry. My father has succeeded in many at the highest level and on a global scale. One of the reasons he has thrived as an entrepreneur is because he listens to everyone. Billionaire executives don’t usually ask the people doing the work for their opinions of the work. My father is an exception. On every one of his projects, you’ll see him talking to the super, the painter, the engineers, the electricians. He’ll ask for their feedback。語言和承諾,不管它們聽起來多么富有遠見,成效有限。他沒有膚色歧視且性別中立。My father values talent. He recognizes real knowledge and skill when he finds it. He is color blind and genderneutral. He hires the best person for the job, period. Words and promises, no matter how visionary they sound, will only get you so far. In our business, you’re not a builder unless you’ve got a building to show for it or, in my father’s case, city skylines.我父親重視才能。在我父親的工地上,不同背景和種族的人總是在一起。建筑業(yè)中能力顯而易見,而無能卻無法隱瞞。我從在他身邊從事建筑工作中學到關(guān)于這個世界很多的東西。My father has a sense of fairness that touches every conviction he holds. I’ve worked alongside him for more than a decade now at the Trump Organization, and I’ve seen how he operates as a leader, making important decisions that shape careers and change lives. I’ve learned a lot about the world from walking construction jobs by his side.我父親有種公平觀,與他的每一個信念息息相關(guān)。這是當你困頓時他支持你的方式。Throughout my entire life, I have witnessed his empathy and generosity towards others, especially those who are suffering。他會與他們交談,然后利用自己龐大的關(guān)系網(wǎng)為他們找份工作或讓他們時來運轉(zhuǎn)。Over the years, on too many occasions to count, I saw my father tear stories out of the newspaper, about people he had never met who were facing some injustice or hardship. He’d write a note to his assistant in his signature black felttip pen and request that the person be found and invited to Trump Tower to meet with him. He would talk to them, and then draw on his extensive network to find them a job or get them a break. And they would leave his office, as people often do after being with Donald Trump, feeling that life could be right again.多年來,在太多次場合,我看到父親撕掉報紙上關(guān)于一些他從未謀面人的故事,他們正面遭受不公或面臨困境。他教導我們,沒有努力,潛能便會消失得無影無蹤。 我父親最偉大的才能之一就是能在人們看到自身的潛能之前就發(fā)現(xiàn)這種潛能。他教導我們,如果我們將視野和激情嫁接在持久的工作熱情之上,我們將無所不能。我父親教導我們兄弟姐妹要具有積極的價值觀和強烈的倫理導向,這至關(guān)重要。If it’s possible to be famous and yet not really well known, that describes the father who raised me. In the same office in Trump Tower where we now work together, I remember playing on the floor by my father’s desk, constructing miniature buildings with Legos and erector sets, while he did the same with concrete, steel and glass. My father taught my siblings and me the importance of positive values and a strong ethical pass. He showed us how to be resilient, how to deal with challenges and how t
