内容简介INSPIRATION. SUCCESS.
CONFIDENCE. PASSION.
No one is born with these qualities, but they are the key ingredients for reaching goals, building careers, or taking a blueprint and turning it into a breathtaking skyscraper. InThe Trump Card,Ivanka Trump recounts the compelling story of her upbringing as the ultimate Apprentice, the daughter of Donald and Ivana Trump, and shares the life lessons and hardwon insights that have made her a rising star in the business world.From her office in the Trump Organization, where she is a vice president of development and acquisitions and co-founder of The Trump Hotel Collection, to her career as an international model to the launch of her successful jewelry collection, Ivanka offers valuable, practical advice for young women. Whether it's landing that first job, navigating the workplace, or making a lasting impact, Ivanka shows how to:
Use uncertainty to your advantage: thrive in any environment. Step up and get noticed at work: focus and efficiency will open doors. Create a strong and consistent identity: your name and reputation are your best assets. Know what you want: get the most out of any negotiation.
The Trump Cardalso features "Bulletins" from Ivanka's BlackBerry that tap into the wisdom of today's leaders, including Arianna Huffington, Tory Burch, and Cathie Black. "We've all been dealt a winning hand," Ivanka writes, "and it is up to each of us to play it right and smart."

文摘INTRODUCTION:
GET OVER IT
You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do.
-- HENRY FORD
In business, as in life, nothing is ever handed to you.That might sound like a line coming from someone with a backstory like mine -- and a load! -- but if you know me and my family, you'll understand that I come by these words honestly. Yes, I've had the great good fortune to be born into a life of wealth and privilege, with a name to match. Yes, I've had every opportunity, every advantage. And yes, I've chosen to build my career on a foundation built by my father and grandfather, so I can certainly see why an outsider might dismiss my success in our family business as yet another example of nepotism.But my parents set the bar high for me and my brothers. They gave us a lot, it's true, but they expected a lot in return. And you can be sure we didn't rise to our positions in the company by any kind of birthright or foregone conclusion. My father is definitely not the kind of guy who'd place his children in key roles within his organization if he didn't think we could surpass the expectations he had for us. You see, in the Trump household, it was never just about meeting the expectations of others. It was about exceeding them. It was about surprising people. And being the best.
