George G. GELLERT

Chairman of Atalanta Corporation

When I visited Taiwan many years ago, the person taking me around town
was introduced to me as a chauffeur. Nonetheless, I enjoyed his company
very much and I was very pleasant with him. That evening, through a more

skilled translator, I discovered that he was actually the owner of the
company I had visited. That was the beginning of a great business
relationship, and a great illustration of the best business advice I have ever
received: whenever you meet somebody, whatever his or her position may

be, be gracious and friendly because you never know.

Treat everyone politely
