Learning gained from my uncle

Tweet

My uncle is a quiet man. Put him in a bar and he will barely talk to anyone. He doesn't get interested in anything easily. I remember an incident where he was with a politician in the same table and they barely exchanged 2 sentences. I've learned something though, he does not stop talking about business. He professes to be a simple man but deep inside his head is a brain that never stops calculating and coming up with scenarios. He is a man burdened with the responsibility of not only his own family but the families of more than a hundred people. he started out as a janitor in high school and college and worked his way through until he graduated. He impressed everyone with his brilliant mind and became vice president in a bank until he decided to strike it out on his own. Everyone called him crazy. He thought otherwise. Through the years (29 years) he built his own company brick by brick with his own hands. He laid down a secure foundation and as soon as he was satisfied, he made bold moves. All of these things ended up in success. Now I know I said he was a quiet man, but, put him in a roomful of business minded people and he will be the center of attention. He speaks with experience and success behind him. My uncle, the quiet millionaire. If there's anything I learned from him, it is how to be fearless and committed.
