雖然離開惠普僅有十五天,但感覺惠普已離我很遠。我的心思更多放在規劃自己第二階段的人生,這并非代表我對惠普沒在任何眷戀,主要是想以此驅動自己往前走。
萬科王石登珠穆朗瑪峰的體驗給我很多啟發,雖然在出發時攜帶大量的物資,但是登頂的過程中,必須不斷減輕負荷,最終只有一個氧氣瓶和他登上峰頂。登山如此,漫長的人生又何嘗不是?
我宣布退休后,接到同事、朋友、同學的祝賀。大部分人都認為我能夠在這樣的職位上及年齡選擇退休,是一種勇氣,也是一種福氣。有一部分人懷疑我只是借此機會換個工作,當然也有一些人說我在HP做不下去了,趁此機會離開。多年來我已習慣別人對我的說三道四,但對于好友,我還是挺關心大家是否真正理解我的想法,這也是寫這篇文章的目的。
