The private pain I could have endured. But the deliberate public humiliation was too much for me. I was full of anger, and I had a simple choice： I could turn that anger against myself, with disastrous results. Or I could take some of that energy and try to do something productive.
“Don't get mad，” Mary reminded me. "Get even." In times of great stress and adversity, it's always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive.
As it turned out, I went from the frying pan into the fire. A year after I signed up, Chrysler came within a whisker of bankruptcy. There were many days at Chrysler when I wondered how I had got myself into this mess, ⑨ Being fired at Ford was bad enough. But going down with the ship at Chrysler was more than I deserved. ⑩
Fortunately, Chrysler recovered from its brush with death. Today I'm a hero. But strangely enough, it's all because of that moment of truth at the warehouse. With determination, with luck, and with help from lots of good people，I was able to rise up from the ashes.
Now let me tell you my story.
