People
人
I admire people with gentle manners who treat other people as human beings. I abhor quarrelsome people. I abhor people who wage paper-warfare. Confessions of an Advertising Man
我佩服温文有礼,以诚待人者。我憎恶那些争论不休的人。我痛恨那些打笔战的人。
If you always hire people who are smallerthan you are,we shall e pany of dwarfs. If,on the other hand,you always hire people who are bigger than you are, we shall e pany of giants.
如果你经常雇用比你弱小的人,将来我们就会变成侏儒公司;如果你每次都雇用比你能干的人,日后我们必定成为一家巨人公司。

我从来不相信所谓的专科分类。谁说有些人是天生的业务人员,而另一些就该是创意人员—真的有那么不同吗?双方人员长久以来所信奉的分类,其实是毫无意义的。
In most agencies,account executives outnumber the copywriters two to one. If you w
ere a dairy farmer,would you employ twice as many milkers as you had cows
在大部分的广告代理商,业务人员的数目,往往是文案人员的两倍。如果你是个酪农,你所雇用的挤牛奶工人,会比牛只数目多一倍吗?
CREATIVE PEOPLE
创意人
Few of the great creators have bland personalities. They are cantankerous egotists,the kind of men who are e in the modern corporation. Confessions of an Advertising Man
伟大的创作家很少具有温和的个性。他们是不易相处的自我主义者,是现代企业中不受欢迎的一群。
ACCOUNT EXECUTIVES
业务人员
