This article made me learn an important lesson. That is to pick yourself when you fall. Failure only means learning from your past mistakes and then telling yourself not to do it again. Although Loretta Chen had failed her venture, and lost her confidence, she managed to pick herself up, learned from her past mistakes and became successful. Previously, she did not look at finances of the business, now she keeps track of financial records carefully.
To me this article is not only about how she overcame her failure, it is about being grateful for everything that she have.
Although she is a successful woman now, she did not forget that money does not necessary mean everything. She gives 10 per cent of her income to charity every month. This was a very rare sight to see in present days. Many people would rather spend their salary on themselves by indulging with fine dining and on luxury goods. In addition, when she became successful, she did not forget about her close ones. She lives with her parents to take care of them, and even pays for their daily living expenses. She was also grateful for the people who had believed in her, to work with her again even after the failed venture.
In conclusion, she showed me what being a successful person was all about. Previously I thought that being successful means having a good amount of money in the bank, having many cars, having big houses. But Loretta Chen showed me otherwise. She showed me that being successful means having to pick yourself up after a fall and to be grateful for whatever you have now.
After reading this article, I aspire to be just like her. That is to be successful.
