When KFC opened in his town, twenty-four people applied for a job and Jack was the only one who got turned down. He also applied to Harvard ten times and they told him no every single time. He did not let this stop him. He gathered seventeen friends in his small apartment to start Alibaba even though he knew nothing about writing computer code. He faced many hard days and had no money, but he kept fighting for his dream. Jack proves that your beginning does not decide your ending if you refuse to give up. ✎ Suichiro Honda failed many times before he built his famous car company. He tried to sell piston rings to Toyota, but they said his work was not good enough. Then his factories were destroyed by bombs in World War II and a massive earthquake. He lost everything he built and had to start over from nothing. Instead of crying, he put a small engine on a bicycle to help people travel cheaply. That little bike became the start of Honda. He showed the world that you can turn bad luck into a huge success if you have a strong mindset. ✎ Warren Buffett is one of the richest men alive, but he started very small. He bought his first stock when he was only eleven years old. He learned that patience is the secret to making money and that you cannot rush success. He reads for five or six hours every day to learn more than everyone else. He lives a simple life and sticks to his rules no matter what other people are doing. These stories from Jack, Suichiro, and Warren teach us that failure is just part of the journey. You have to keep learning and believing in yourself to win. ★ BOOKS ★ • Momentum: https://amzn.to/3kJZIAv • Build to Serve: https://amzn.to/3XZiCSg • Your One Word: https://amzn.to/3R9qVII • The Top 10 Rules for Success: https://amzn.to/3JcNZVe • 254 Confidence: https://amzn.to/3jdh9c2 ★ RECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU ★ If you liked this video, you'll love these ones: • Forget Motivation, Just Do These 11 Boring Habits - https://youtu.be/lTI-_FBMn8c • Why You Don't Need A College Degree To Get Rich | The Chris Gardner Story - https://youtu.be/ClX_bLmJc7Q • The Skill of Self-Confidence - https://youtu.be/-ZlUV_xfQwc ⚑ SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL ⚑ If you want to do great things you need to have a great environment.
