He approached Gerald Wallace and asked, "Gerald, do you like basketball?"
For an NBA player, that question was a bit offensive, but seeing that it came from a 17-year-old kid, a sense of social responsibility welled up in Gerald Wallace.
Gerald Wallace thought for a moment and replied cautiously, "Whether I like it or not, once you take on a job, you should devote all your passion to doing it the best you can. If you do like it, you should work even harder. Otherwise, you'll regret it when you grow up."
Zhang Yang: "Hmm, so that's a no. What profession did you originally want to pursue?"
Gerald Wallace was briefly at a loss for words and asked, "Jack, are you doing a survey for your social studies class?"
Zhang Yang: "That's a good idea. I remember the business school has a social survey assignment. Gerald, you're a great interview subject. I already have my assignment topic—The Impact of Preferences on Work Attitude."
