Features: A wealthy young man, living a luxurious life, felt his life lacked meaning. One day, he came across an article about a successful CEO who said the greatest value in life doesn’t lie in how much you have, but in your ability to give. What does this mean? The young man earnestly sought guidance and eventually learned the CEO’s life secret, completely transforming his own life. This inspiring story is based on the real life of Chuck Cady, the founder of the U.S. fast-food chain Chik-fil-A. Like the CEO in the story, he adopted 12 foster families and has adopted hundreds of children, and has awarded over 60 million U.S. dollars in scholarships to his employees. Through his story, we see how a successful entrepreneur can thrive through generosity, enriching both his own and others’ lives. For today’s wealthy Chinese, how do we understand selfless dedication? How can we make it a part of our own lives?
