Even if one loses their dreams and faces despair, as long as they can bravely let go of the past and fight against reality, they will never lose their inherent nobility.
Clement Stone's journey from rags to riches is truly inspiring. At age 6, he was selling newspapers on a street corner; by 13, he had his own newsstand; and by 16, he entered the insurance industry. To balance work and education, He completed high school through night classes. During the Great Depression, when most believed the insurance industry had no future, he saw immense potential. By building a team of salesmen, he eventually established his own company, which by 1979 had assets exceeding $1 billion. Additionally, the story of two shoe salesmen sent to Africa is highly enlightening: one concluded there was no market because everyone went barefoot, while the other saw a massive opportunity precisely because everyone was walking barefoot.
