Go a long way in life


There are two Spaniards, one called Blanco and the other called Ortega. Although they are the same age and neighbors, their homes are far apart. Blanco's father is a wealthy businessman who lives in a villa and drives a luxury car. And Ortega’s father was a street vendor, living in a shack and walking.

From a young age, Blanco’s father said to his son: “Children, you can do whatever you want when you grow up. If you want to be a lawyer, I will let my private lawyer teach you to be a good lawyer. He is famous. Barrister; if you want to be a doctor, I will let my private doctor teach you medicine. He is the doctor with the highest medical skills here. If you want to be an actor, I will send you to the best art school to find the most. Good screenwriters and directors will give you tailor-made characters, always let you be the protagonist; if you want to be a businessman, then I will teach you how to do business, you know, your father is not a small businessman, but a big businessman. As long as you are willing to learn, I will pass on all my business experience to you!"

Ortega’s father always said to his son: “Children, because of my father’s limited ability, my family is not good, I can’t give you too much help, so I can’t teach you anything but teach you how to set up a stall. Anything. You just want to learn to set up a stall with me, the other is just thinking about it!"

Both children firmly remembered their father's words. Blanco first applied for a lawyer. After not studying for a few days, he felt that the lawyer's work was too monotonous and simply not suitable for his character. He thought that there were other things that could be done anyway, so he turned to study medicine. Because every day I have to deal with those patients, what I need most is patience. I haven’t worked long before. He also thinks that the profession of doctors does not seem to suit him. So, he thought, when the actor must be the most fun, but not long after, he realized that when the actor is really too hard. In the end, he had to learn business with his father, but at this time, his father's company went bankrupt due to the financial crisis.

In the end, Blanco did nothing.

After the Ortega and his father had been on the stall for a few days, they cried and refused to go. Because the stalls were not exposed to the sun and rain, they were often blinded. However, when he thought that there was nothing else to do except the street stall, he ran his head and started with his father. However, after not doing it for a few days, he couldn’t stand it anymore, and he clashed and refused to go. Because there was nothing to do, he soon followed his father.

Slowly, he actually found out from the stalls that if he wanted to get rid of the work of the stalls forever, he would have to put the stalls seriously. As a result, a few years later, he finally owned his own store. Thirty years later, he owned his own clothing group. Today, the group has a total of 3,691 brand stores in 68 countries around the world, becoming the world's second largest clothing retailer. Otto has a $25 billion personal asset and is ranked 9th in Forbes' 2019 World Rich List.

People don't choose as much as possible. Because they have more choices, they can't hold on to the end. Instead, those who have no choice have finally succeeded.
