David说自己最大的缺点是有点perfectionist，万事追求完美。有时过份投入，gettooclosetosomething，需要退一步纵观全局tostepbacktogetthewholepicture.David承受压力的能力也不差，他觉得关键是不能让问题积累起来，nottoletthingspileup，而是遇到一个解决一个，attackithead-on，迎头痛击。

David说，他想换工作是因为感觉自己是在一个各方面都驾轻就熟的地方，Iwasinacomfortzone,需要变化，toshakethingsup.他觉得I'mreadyforthemajorleagues.应该更上一层楼了。MajorLeague是职业棒球大联盟，代表棒球最高水平，高于minorleague小联盟。
