“我必须面对我的恐惧和信任他人，以帮助我们到达想要去的地方。”
布雷克·迈科斯基（Blake Mycoskie），
创始人兼首席鞋子托姆斯
"Today, the idea of a social entrepreneur is generally defined and understood. But when I started TOMS, this definition and career path actually didn’t exist. For me, a transition clearly happened when I changed my way of thinking about business as solely a way to earn money and profits, and instead starting thinking about giving and mission. And how incorporating giving into business would actually make that business stronger in the long term. This did not happen overnight, and it did not come easy. I had to face my fears and trust so many others to help us get to where we wanted to go. But I realize now that it helped shape my identity not only as the Chief Shoe Giver at TOMS, but as a person who hopefully can have a positive influence on business for many years to come."
