[quote=GRIZ326,263572]My father and his partners were milk delivery men and one railroad worker. They all met when they became real estate salesmen after failing countless times at other types of jobs.

My father could sell milk...but he could not sell knives or vacuum cleaners or encyclopedias. Finally he learned that he could sell real estate because he believed "the home you live in is the best investment you will ever make." Because he believed that he was helping his customers, he could push them when they got cold feet at the contract signing. In fact he did help most of his customers because when they bought their homes for $10000 USD...they eventually sold them for $40000 or $50000 USD.

My father and his partners were good men; they loved their work; they had the support of their wives; and they believed beyond all else that America would give them an opportunity if they worked hard and persisted.

When they started their business they didn't have any funding. They each had a few hundred dollars saved. They struggled for about 6 months but they succeeded in getting the ball rolling....and it rolled and rolled and rolled.

The opportunities may be harder to come by in the US today, but they still exist here just as opportunity is presenting itself for many in China today. Those who believe in it and work for it may fail a hundred times...but they will eventually succeed.[/quote]
