成功人士的傳記

一個小朋友問一位富翁說：「叔叔，你為什麼這麼有錢？」
富翁摸摸小朋友的頭道：「小時候，我爸給了我一個蘋果，我賣掉它，再想方法用低價買了兩個蘋果，後來我又這樣賺了四個蘋果。」
⋯⋯小朋友若有所思地說：「哦…叔叔，我好像懂了。」
⋯⋯富翁說：「你懂個屁阿！後來我爸死了，我繼承了他全部的財產。」 ⋯⋯⋯⋯

給創業者提個醒，不要癡迷於從閱讀成功人士的傳記中需找經驗，這些書大部分經過了精致的包裝，很多重要的事實都不會告訴你。

例如，比爾蓋茨的書不會告訴你他母親是ＩＢＭ董事，是她給兒子促成了第一單大生意，巴菲特的書只會告訴你他８歲就知道去參觀紐交所，但不會告訴你是他國會議員的父親帶他去的，而且是高盛的董事接待的。

Take successful people as a guide line and learn from them. Not making them your idol and worship them and try to succeed by copying them. Their way of success "might" not work for you.Failure is inevitable to succeed. Most of the people only see the successful front, what they've failed to see is the failure behind the successful front. Failure is something you need to buy with money, time, heart, blood and sweat, and it's not cheap at all, but it provides you the most valuable lessons that will make you better than before. ~ Vincent Cheng via Facebook
