Starting a Business
A young man asked a wealthy old man how he had made his fortune. The old man smoothed his elegant suit and began:
"Son, it was 1932, a terribly hard time. I had just one last cent in my pocket. I spent it on an apple, polished that apple all day, and sold it for ten cents that evening."
"The next morning, I invested the money in two apples, polished them, and sold them at five in the afternoon for twenty cents. I kept doing business this way for a month and eventually accumulated a fortune of one dollar and thirty-seven cents."
"Then my father-in-law died and left my wife and me two million dollars."
