Please beg Richard DeVos to give a speech at the Amway (China) 10th Anniversary Celebration Party?

One, two, three, please sit down! Thank you for your warm welcome! I am extremely excited to be able to gather with you all here. We have just been watching the performance in the lounge at the back. The performance was very exciting. We have only been in China for two days, but it feels like a week has passed because there are so many exciting things. We are overwhelmed. Besides this beautiful city, and your amazing country. And of course your warm welcome. Thank you. Ten years ago, Zheng Tai said to me, let’s go to China! Then I said, go for it! Everything we have today comes from Zheng Tai’s outstanding leadership. Incomparably firm confidence and the spirit of daring to accept challenges. We express our sincere gratitude to her and the entire Chinese management. When my wife Helen and I first came to China, we were happy to listen to the speeches of marketing leaders. Listen to them talk about the setbacks they encountered in China. And how to grow in the face of adversity. Now you have demonstrated the excellent qualities of an outstanding leader in all aspects. Thank you! We are proud of you. You fought a good battle. You have never given up on the company and never lost your faith in the face of challenges and difficulties. Thank you! Today I would like to take this opportunity to share with you that in the three stages of life, people always say that we must do the right things, take action, and make continuous progress, but people must first have the right attitude. Only by making correct decisions can we continue to make progress. And the right attitude depends on whether there is a positive atmosphere around you. Do the people or things around you inspire you? Once we can create this atmosphere, we can establish the right attitude. thereby taking the correct action. The environment in which Mr. Jay Van Andel and I grew up, including school and family, was filled with an inspiring atmosphere. It was in this environment that we gradually formed our own firm beliefs. Not just faith, but confidence. With encouragement from parents and others, we believe we are capable of doing something. I have been sharing these views with you for a few days to tell you that you must live in such a positive environment. Only in this way can we establish the right mentality. Make the right decision. Creating this environment is up to you and the people you choose to approach. What kind of circle of friends to choose. The ability to choose things to do with like-minded people. Most people grow up spending more time with people who are complaining and lacking in self-confidence than with people who are confident. But once you join Amway, you will find yourself surrounded by people who are full of confidence and have high aspirations. Because of this simple truth, you can also achieve results. The success you achieve may far exceed your expectations. People around you always encourage you and tell you that you can do it, you can do it, and I believe in you. I remember when I was young, my father always told me, you can do it, you can do it. This sentence later became the motto of my life. This spirit is needed not only to do Amway, but also to yourself and the country. Believe in yourself and believe that your country will be prosperous and strong. You will discover the huge potential contained in China and the Chinese people. You need to help them improve themselves and have a more fulfilling life. As long as we help each other, we can help more people and achieve a fulfilling life. The entire country will also be more prosperous. While helping others, your own life is constantly improving. Life is happier and more fulfilling. You can also enjoy the abundance with those around you. So each of us should learn how to motivate others. Help them improve themselves. Here I have prepared a few words, which may be helpful to everyone. Just like my father planted the seed of thought into my mind. You can also plant seeds of thought into your own minds and the minds of others. The first sentence you have to learn is, I was wrong, I'm sorry! Because everyone makes mistakes sometimes. At this time, you should not make excuses to defend yourself, but you should say, I was wrong, I'm sorry! When you learn to say this, you will be surprised to find that it is not difficult to live in harmony with others. This sentence should not be difficult to say, right? I remember one night many years ago, my son De didn’t come home on time. We have our own house rules. The children must go home before a fixed time at night. One night De came back late. I didn’t sleep and kept waiting for him to come back. , In fact, Germany has heard this speech before that. Listen to me teach everyone, I was wrong, I'm sorry! This sentence.

So the first thing he said after entering the door was, Hi! Dad, I was wrong, I'm sorry! When someone tells you that, what else can you say? All you can say is, I love you! If you can try saying this even after you have made a mistake, you will find that your relationship with others will be more harmonious. Let us learn another sentence, that is, I respect you! Everyone wants to be respected, and some people even ask others to respect them. He would say, you have to respect me! But I found that only if you respect others first, others will respect you! I once had a captain on Amway's yacht who told me how he demanded respect from his crew, but when I talked to the crew, I found they had no respect for him at all. Because the captain did not give the crew the respect they deserved. So in daily life, when you learn to respect others, others will naturally respect you. What I want to tell you is that we respect you all very much, and the impressive results you have achieved are amazing! I want to salute you! As a company, we uphold the principles of operating with integrity and doing things fairly, and we hope to gain your respect through this. When you have different opinions on some issues, call the company to inquire. The company will definitely answer truthfully! I hope you can, too, respect our responses! I've been in this business for 55 years, all of my adult life. I have seen thousands of companies try to copy Amway's business plan, or say they are the same as Amway, but I really can't remember a single company that still exists today. I believe there will be many people lobbying you to leave Amway today, but I hope you can all stay. Because we support you. We respect you. We deserve your respect too! We are a company that keeps its word and keeps its promises. Next, I will teach you one more sentence, maybe two! I hope these words become part of your everyday vocabulary. Especially say this to children often. I tell my children and grandchildren this all the time. The next sentence is, I am proud of you. Everyone knows that I am proud of all of you! You should also learn to say this to your family, friends and business partners. When you want to express appreciation for your friends and neighbors you can say to them, I'm proud of you! There used to be a cleaner who came to collect garbage near my residence every morning, but he came quietly every time. One day, I got up very early just so I could tell him in person that I admired his work and was proud of him. At this time, he told me that I have been doing this for twenty years, but no one has ever said this to me. In fact, there are many people around you who make our lives more comfortable and happy. They deserve to hear such words from our mouths. Especially your children. One more sentence. I believe in you, I believe in you. That's why we came to China, because we have confidence in you. I believe that the Chinese people have the ability to improve their lives through this career opportunity. There are many people all over the world and all over China who doubt their abilities. Saying "I believe in you" will bring them unlimited motivation. This time we come to China to tell everyone that we believe in you! One more sentence. I love you! Some of you may know that when I sign my name, I always add the words "Love you" next to my name! Even in my letter to the President of the United States, I wrote this. I think that in this world, more love is needed between countries and between people. I hope everyone will take note of this sentence. Finally, let me repeat it again, if you do something wrong, remember to say, I was wrong, I'm sorry! I'm proud of you! I trust you! We respect you! we love you! Thank you!
