世界頂尖商業人士在成為百萬富翁前都做些什么工作呢？

Even the most brilliant and innovative minds have to start somewhere.
“千里之行，始于足下”，即便是智力超群，思維非凡的人，亦是如此。

Although it may be hard to picture high-flying multi-millionaires toiling away in the kitchens of restaurants or trudging the streets as parking attendants, many top entrepreneurs had to earn their spurs as youngsters.
雖難以想象事業有成的千萬富翁在餐館后廚辛勤勞碌或作為泊車員在街道上拖著疲憊身軀，但許多頂尖企業家年少時都曾不辭辛勞以望功成名就。

From Richard Branson to Jeff Bezos, here are the jobs some of the world's most successful businessmen did before they hit the big time.
從查理德?布蘭森到杰夫?貝佐斯，世上最成功的企業家們在功成名就之前所從事的工作如下：

Jeff Bezos: McDonald's
杰夫?貝佐斯：麥當勞員工

Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos may be planning on sending humans into space next year, but he had his feet very much on the ground when he worked at McDonald's as a youngster.
亞馬遜創始人兼首席執行官杰夫?貝佐斯可能計劃于明年將人類送入太空，但他在年輕時可是腳踏實地在麥當勞工作過。

Speaking to interviewer Cody Teets, he said: "My first week on the job, a five-gallon, wall-mounted ketchup dispenser got stuck open in the kitchen and dumped a prodigious quantity of ketchup into every hard-to-reach kitchen crevice. Since I was the new guy, they handed me the cleaning solution and said, 'Get going!'
他在接受科迪?蒂茨采訪時曾說過：“我工作的第一周，廚房里一個五加侖大的掛壁式番茄醬自取機出現破裂，大量的番茄醬流入廚房那觸手難極的縫隙里。由于我是新人，那些老員工就把清洗任務交給我，并催促道：‘快去！’。”

"You can learn responsibility in any job, if you take it seriously. You learn a lot as a teenager working at McDonald's.
“你若盡心盡力，在任何工作崗位都會學到責任。年少時在麥當勞工作會讓你學到很多。”

"It's different from what you learn in school. Don't underestimate the value of that!"
“這與你在校園所學的并不一樣。不要低估了它的價值。”
