On my way back from Toronto, I was thinking that if I used language like " I have a commitment, I will consult informally and will make every best effort," and I went to my banker and asked for a line to be established for $5 million based on language like that, what would be the chances of my being successful in getting it?
Pendant que je revenais de Toronto, je m'interrogeais sur les chances que j'aurais d'obtenir un prêt de cinq millions de dollars de mon banquier si je me présentais à lui en utilisant des mots comme: «J'ai un engagement, je tiendrai des consultations officieuses et je ferai tous les efforts».
