Persistence And Patience: The Legend Of Wall Street'S Alternative Wealth Creation

When Wall Street is cloudy, we must never forget the greatest power of mankind - the power of dreams and perseverance.

Just like the old man in the picture, don't think he is just a poor homeless old man selling Street goods in the street. He may be one of the most successful salesmen in the world. Let me tell you his legend.

When the sun shines on the tall buildings of Manhattan Island, a white haired old man, wearing 1000 dollars of high-end clothing, is busy with his business in a corner of a street in New York. He sells pototo peeler. He cuts potatoes into fries of potato chips, and sees him holding potatoes and carrots, rubbing them together, as if he were talking to himself.

Soon, a woman going to the market stopped to start looking at him. Then there was another person who ignored him until he was surrounded by people watching.

Then he stopped and took a potato and said to a woman, "you try it. This potato chopper will be very useful."

Then the peddler continued, "I won't ask you for money. You just have to try."

The woman began to try his potato cutting machine, and it was really very hard to use.

And the peddler continued to say that the potato chopper is the best product, made in Switzerland, only 5 dollars. Now, in this era of high prices, you can't buy anything good for 5 dollars.

The woman felt good after using it, and the price was fair. She opened her wallet and prepared to buy it.

The old man did not rush to receive the money. He said meaningfully, "why can't you buy 4 things for a lifetime?" but the woman insisted that she had enough to buy one, and the salesman went on to say, "you have 4 friends. That's why you bought four potato shears."

Then the woman felt that the old man was very pertinent and accepted his advice with pleasure, and bought four.

Then there were people buying and selling them.

He is called Joe Ades, a 74 year old peddler in the streets of New York. However, he is called "able to pull a hungry dog who is heading for meat to buy his stuff".

Can you believe that when he ends up selling small pieces in the street in the daytime, can you believe that he will return to the upscale apartment in Park Avenue in Manhattan at night (Note: Few New Yorkers own their own houses, especially the houses on Manhattan Island, a decent apartment of up to a million or even tens of millions of dollars, and tens of thousands of dollars a year for tax purposes only), dressed in exquisite restaurants for various high-end restaurants on the island of Manhattan, and then going to a fancy hotel to hear the pianist's performance while buying an expensive champagne.

In his apartment, he had a box of potato shears neatly placed in his room where his servant lived. This is his warehouse now.

At 7 o'clock every morning, he would take his car out to sell on time, 6 days a week, rain or shine.

He recently received an interview with state television, which has attracted wide attention in American society.

Through interviews, he learned that he had been engaged in sales for 60 years, and today is the greatest portrayal of his successful career in 60 years.

He said, "don't think that 5 dollars is only a small sum of money. You will become rich if you make a lot of money."

When asked if he had ever encountered the biggest challenge, he replied that he was selling Christmas trees in February. Guess how he sold it. The answer is: selling it to China for the Spring Festival, can you think of it? He has taught his success to his daughter. Now his daughter has become a successful salesperson. She sells materials at Columbia University, making money for the day.

He has 3 granddaughters. He lets them study hard, because he is happy to send them to the best universities in the United States, and now this is his greatest hope.

When his daughter was asked about her father's main secret of success, she replied, "persistence and patience."

When asked whether he would take a vacation for himself, he replied that --life is a vacation!

Life is a holiday!

His legend has given a great inspiration to the American people today.
