As Li Ka-shing says: "In adversity, you must ask yourself whether you have the necessary qualities. When I faced adversity, I believed I did! Because I was diligent, frugal, and perseverance-driven, I was eager to seek knowledge and build a reputation. Let everyone share in the profits, so that more people will be willing to cooperate. If 10% of the stock price is fair, 11% is also acceptable, but if you only take 9% of the share, the money will keep flowing in. In the knowledge economy era, if you have capital but lack knowledge and up-to-date information, no matter what profession you are in, the harder you strive, the higher the likelihood of failure. But if you have knowledge without capital, even a small effort can lead to a return and the possibility of success. I wouldn’t say there’s no such thing as fate, but if a venture goes against the right timing, geographical advantages, and social harmony, it is bound to fail. To rashly act and then blame fate for failure afterward is wrong. To become a successful leader, you must not only work hard but also listen to others’ opinions. You must have patience, consider others’ perspectives before presenting your own ideas, and most importantly, come up with innovative concepts. However, once you make a decision, you must focus entirely on achieving your goals. Remember that reputation is your greatest asset—build it today."
