CEO Reveals Secret(click here)
Although Jay Thiessens graduated from high school, he was illiterate.
He didn't know how to read. However, he set up a small company and
developed it into a $5 million-a-year enterprise. How did he do it?
At first, his wife helped him sort through the paper work everyday at home.
Secondly, he delegated tasks to a core group of managers who worked for him.
His bussiness had a good foundation; therefore his illiteracy didn't interfere
with the business. If he wanted to keep it a secret, nobody would ever know.
However he had a burning desire to be able to read a simple bedtime story to
his grandchildren, so he decided to start to learn at the age of 56. It's always
said that it's never too late to learn. For him, to confess to other people and start
learning took a lot of courage. Not a lot of people can ever do it,so he
gained a lot of respect from his employees and competitors, his spirit is
admirable. At last, his dream came true and he could read!!
To me, this story is really inspring. It encourages people to follow his lead to start
learning,just like his wife said, "There is no shame in not knowing how to read,
the shame is not doing anything about it."
