Every competitive, type-A fiber of my being was screaming at me to stay, but unless I had a critical meeting, I walked out that door.

the ability to hire great people to assist me both in the office and at home, and a good measure of control over my schedule.

I also have a wonderful sister who lives close by and is always willing to take care of her niece and nephew, occasionally at a moment's notice.
我还有个好妹妹,她就住在附近,很乐意帮我照看孩子。
She's even a pediatrician, so my kids are not just in loving hands, they're in medically trained hands.
正巧她还是个儿科医生,所以我的孩子不仅能得到家人的关爱,在健康方面也有专业的保障。
