1. The two sons of Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shing, Li Zeju and Li Zekai, both graduated with honors from Stanford University in the United States. They wanted to develop their ambitions and do a career in their father's company, but Li Ka-shing decisively refused. He said: "My company doesn't need you! It's better for you to go out on your own and let practice prove whether you are qualified to work for my company."

So, the two brothers went to Canada, one was engaged in real estate development, and the other was engaged in real estate development. One went to an investment bank. They overcame unimaginable difficulties, built the company and bank successfully, and became outstanding figures in the Canadian business community. Li Ka-shing's "ruthlessness" forced the children to embark on the path of self-reliance and self-improvement, cultivating their courage, perseverance, and indomitable personality and character.

2. President Roosevelt of the United States attaches great importance to cultivating children's independent personality.

He has a famous saying: "In front of my son, I am not the president, just a father." He is opposed to children living a parasitic life relying on their parents. He left the children to fend for themselves in their own right. The eldest son, James, traveled to Europe when he was 20 years old. Before leaving, he bought a good horse and then sent a telegram to his father for help.

The father called back and said: "You and your horse come back from swimming!" The son had no choice but to sell the horse to pay for the trip home. After World War II started, Roosevelt's four sons all went to the front line. When their father died of illness, they all stayed on their respective warships to see their father off in this special way.

3. Nick Vujicic was born in a poor peasant family in Meixian, Guangdong in 1934. The family's life has always been very difficult. When he was a kid, he couldn't even put on shoes in the winter. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he relied on scholarships to study in middle school and college. Graduated from the Department of Biology of Sun Yat-sen University in 1961. ?

In 1963, he went to Thailand via Hong Kong and lived abroad for 5 years. In 1968, he returned to Hong Kong from Thailand. When he first returned to Hong Kong, he was empty-handed and in a difficult situation. In order to survive, he even took care of children.

The hardship of life gave him the idea of ??starting a business. He spent his evenings carefully studying the market conditions in Hong Kong and found that although Hong Kong's clothing industry was developed and Hong Kong people also liked to wear suits, there was no factory that produced ties. So he took out the 6,000 Hong Kong dollars he had saved from living frugally, and vacated his rented house to set up a tie production factory.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. At first, he and his wife just hand-sewed low-end ties. Although the couple worked very hard early in the morning and in the dark, the business was not very good. After careful consideration, he decided to make a premium tie instead. He bought high-end ties from France and Switzerland for research and imitation, and produced a batch of high-end ties.

In order to open up sales, he was cruel and put the first batch of products in a store and distributed them to customers for free. Because of the matching colors and styles, the products he produced were very popular. Soon, the ties he made became famous in Hong Kong. By 1970, his ties were very popular in Hong Kong. It was also in this year that he officially registered and established "Goldlion (Far East) Co., Ltd."

The next year, he bought a piece of land in Kowloon and built a tie production factory that began to take shape.

He is a man with great ambitions. The goal in his mind is to create a world-famous brand. He visited tie factories in Western Europe many times to learn their production techniques and business methods, and then combined their strengths to introduce advanced production equipment and strict management and inspection systems, so that "Goldlion" ties gradually occupied the Hong Kong market. It has become a symbol of men's solemnity, elegance and chic. ?

In 1974, the Great Depression occurred in Hong Kong's economy, and various commodities were sold at reduced prices, but he did the opposite. On the one hand, he continuously improved the quality of "Goldlion" ties, and on the other hand, he raised the price appropriately and uniquely. As a result, business unexpectedly improved. When the economic recession passed, the value of "Goldlion" doubled, becoming the leading brand name tie in Hong Kong.

Not only ties, he also expanded his development plan to more men's products. He made a seemingly simple but actually profoundly creative change to the advertising slogan "Goldlion Tie, the Man's World" that has become familiar to Hong Kong people over the years, and changed it to "Goldlion, the Man's World".

Starting from T-shirts, we gradually launched a series of products such as belts, socks, suspenders, laces, waistbands, bow ties, tie clips, cuff buttons, keychains, etc. under the Goldlion brand, making both the company and the Goldlion brand famous. Towards diversification.

While developing and consolidating the Hong Kong market, he also expanded overseas markets with a positive and optimistic attitude and entered Southeast Asian countries. He personally went to Singapore to inspect, set up a branch and look for partners. After achieving success, it quickly expanded its battlefield to Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand... So far, Goldlion has more than a thousand major customers in these countries.

4. Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States, suffered from an illness when he was young, resulting in lameness and uneven and protruding teeth. He almost thinks that he is the unluckiest child in the world, so he rarely plays games with his classmates. When the teacher asks him to answer questions, he always lowers his head and says nothing.

He will overcome any shortcomings that he can overcome, and take advantage of those that cannot be overcome.

Through his speeches, he learned how to use a falsetto voice that concealed his notorious toothy teeth and his piling-driver posture.

Although there was nothing spectacular about his speech, he was not defeated by his voice and gesture. He did not have a loud voice or a majestic posture, and he did not have astonishing rhetoric as some people. However, he was one of the most powerful orators at the time.

Because Roosevelt did not shrink back and be depressed in the face of shortcomings, but fully and comprehensively understood himself. While aware of his own shortcomings, he was able to correctly evaluate himself and fight with tenacity. Don't be discouraged by shortcomings, and even make use of them, turn them into capital, and turn them into escalators to reach the top of your reputation. In his later years, few people knew that he had serious shortcomings.

5. A famous German musician and one of the representatives of the Vienna classical music school. His works have a very profound impact on the development of world music, so he is respected as the "Music Saint".

At the age of 26, Beethoven's hearing gradually declined; at the age of 45, he became completely deaf and could only communicate with people through conversation books. But his lonely life did not make him silent and retired. He still adhered to the political belief of "freedom, equality, and fraternity" in the feudal restoration era when all progressive ideas were banned.

Through his speeches and works, he vigorously shouted for communism and ideals, reflecting the revolutionary enthusiasm of the bourgeoisie at that time to fight against feudalism and fight for democracy and write the immortal masterpiece "Ninth Symphony".
