and I learned more than I ever could have hoped while working with true visionaries.

我喜欢一切都井然有序：
I file documents in colored folders (yes, still) and my enthusiasm for reorganizing my closet continually baffles Dave.

Risk—and a great deal of luck—landed me at Google.

That worked out so well that I decided to embrace risk again, which led me to Facebook.

At the time, other companies were willing to hire me as CEO, but I joined Facebook as COO.
