Carly is a human being with exactly the same challenges that all of
us have:

     Unlimited conflicting expectations and limited resources.


She is different from most of us only in scale (she measures her
expectations and her resources in terms of billions whereas we
measure ours in more humble units).  We can all certainly learn
from her experiences and from the choices she makes in terms of
allocating her resources to (attempt to) fulfill her expectations.
She is a wonderful speaker, with great diction and few "ahs and
hums" (or whatever you call those annoying "fillers" that most
people interject as they mumble along).  Her delivery is stellar.


Learning from others is a good thing.  According to my Mac-based
dictionary:

     Learn
     Verb: To obtain knowledge or awareness of something not
     known before, as through observation, study, etc.


So, I look forward to her keynote at HP World because I know that
she will do her best to present her case well.  I look forward to
listening to her.  I know that I will learn a lot.  Learning is a
good thing.
