Knostuke mastsushita
He was born in a small farming village in japan. His family
was poor, they all lived in a small house, with very little money. When he was
only 9 years old, he left school and started working in a small shop, to
support his family. He used to get up every day, before sunrise clean the
store, run errands and then look after the children of his employer. Some years
later, destiny showed him a new path he got a job in an Electricity Company.
There he got interested in light bulbs and sockets every night, he started
learning and experimenting on his own one day, and he made an improved version
of a light socket, all by himself. He got very excited and showed it to his
boss but his boss was not impressed and said such a product will never work.
Even though he was rejected, He believed in his idea. He wanted to do
something, on his own, start his own company. He asked his friends, and they
told him he cannot do it he cannot leave his permanent job and start his own
company he has no experience, very little money, and hardly any education
still, he believed in himself So when he turned 22, he took a big decision he
left his stable job and started his own small manufacturing company he and his
wife, started manufacturing sockets in their small house they both went door to
door selling it but no shop owner was interested, they did not get any orders
months passed by and still they were not able to sell their product he sold his
furniture, borrowed money, to survive a little longer many days he thought I will
give up and go back to my job but in the morning as the sun rose he was out on
the streets looking for orders, surviving for one more day. Then came a time,
he was almost bankrupt and just when he was closest to giving up his dream that’s
when a miracle, happened in his life out of nowhere he got his first major
order of 1000 pieces Now 100 years after that his first major order of 1000
pieces his company, now has over 250,000 employees, with annual sales of $65
billion his company’s products are now sold across the world all this was made
possible by a man, with no education and no money all he had was a belief in
himself his name is “Knostuke mastsushita’ The company he had started in his small
house is now known across the world as “Panasonic’.
Success is not dependent on how educated you are or how much
money you have success is about believing in yourself so if you are also in pursuit
of success just believe in yourself, when no one else does Survive, when other
people give up and just wait for that one miracle that will change your life
Forever.
