－－

suits
，
designer
shoes
，
and Miles
Davis albums
。

自己开了一家经纪人公司并任总管，
住在芝加哥别墅区

His
path
to
this
extraordinary
success took a
series of extraordinary
turns
。
Just 20 years
ago
，
Gardner was
homeless
and
living
，
on
occasion
，
in
a
bathroom
at
a
Bay
Area
Rapid
Transit
station
in
Oakland
，
Calif
。
在成功的道路上，他历
经了一系列坎坷挫折。
20
年前，
Ga
rdner
无家可归，有时就住在加州
奥克兰市湖湾区快速运输
站上的洗手间里过夜。
Gardner
was
raised
by
his
mother
，
a
schoolteacher
。
He
says
he
never
knew
his
father
while he was growing
up
。
But his mother had a way
of keeping him grounded when he
dreamed
of things like being a jazz
trumpeter
。
Gardne
r
从小由当教师的母亲抚养长大。他说自己从未见过父亲。但是，当他梦想作一名爵
士乐小号手时，他母亲有一套方法指导他。
Mothers have a way of saying
things
，
Gardner
said
，
She explained to
me
，
‘Son，
there‘s
only
one
Miles
Davis
and
he
got
that
job。
So
you
have
to
do
something
else
。
But what that something else
was
，
I did not
know
。‘
母亲有自己的表述方法
。
Gardner
说：她对我说，‘儿子，只有一个
Miles Davis
，他从事
这个行业。因此
，你就得做其他的事情，至于那是什么事情，我就不知道了。‘

Gardner
credits
his
uncles
with
providing
the
male
influence
he
needed
。
Many
of
them
were
military
veterans
。
So
，
straight
out
of
high
school
，
he
enlisted
in
the
Navy for four years
。
He says
it gave him a sense of what was
possible
。
Gardner
认为是他的叔叔给他提供了影响他的人生道路的男人。
他们中许
多人是部队里的老
兵。
因此，
高中一毕
业，
他就报名参军当了四年的海军。
他称这给他带来一种成就感
。
A
Red
Ferrari
and a Turning Point
一辆红色法拉利，一次人生转折点
After the
military
，
Gardner took a job
as a medical supply
salesman
。
Then
，
he
says
，
he reached
another turning point in his
life
。
In a parking
lot
，
he met a
man
driving
a
red
Ferrari
。
He
was
looking
for
a
parking
space
。
And
I
said
，
‘You
can
have
mine
。
But
I
gotta
ask
you
two
questions
。‘
The
two
questions
were：
What
do you
do
？
And how do you do
that
？
Turns out this guy was
a stockbroker and he
was making
$$80
，
000 a
month
。
退役以后，
Gardner
作起了医药销售员。他说，那时，他经历了人生又一个转折
点。在一处
停车场，他遇见一名男子驾着一辆红色法拉利。他正在找一个停车摊位。我说
，‘你可以停
我这里。
但我要问你两个问题。
< br>这两个问题是：
你做什么工作？你怎样去做？这个人原来是
股票经纪人，月薪
8
万美元。
Gardner began knocking on
doors
，
applying for training
programs at brokerages
，
even though it meant he would have to
live on next to nothing while he
learned
。
When he
finally was accepted into a
program
，
he left his job in
medical sales
。
But
his
plans
collapsed
as
suddenly
as
they
had
materialized
。
The
man
who
offered
him the training slot was
fired
，
and Gardner had no
job to go back to
。
Gardner
开始上门申请学习经纪人课程，即使这意味着在他学习期间会衣食无
着。当他终于
被录取上培训班时，
他辞掉销售员的工作。
然而，
他的计划突然之间转为泡影正如他们突然
呈现一样。那个曾经答应给他上培训课的人被辞退了，而
Gardner
又丢掉了自己的工作。
Things
got
worse
。
He
was
hauled
off
to
jail
for
$$1
，
200
in
parking
violations
that
he couldn‘t pay。
His wife
left him
。
Then she asked him
to care for their young
son
without
her
。
Despite
his
lack
of
resources
，
Gardner
said
，
I
made
up
my
mind
as a young kid that
when I had children
