Book Preview: #1 There will be times when you must make very important decisions. It is important to decide what is important to you and what you want before you turn to others for advice. Because while there will be times when outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves utterly useless.

#2 When people around you try to discourage you from taking a certain course of action, or ridicule your ideas, take that as a positive sign. Most long-term success stories are written by people who have done exactly that.

#3 I was struck by how the Chinese people worked from dawn to dusk. In one town, I met a farmer known locally as the Apple King because of his huge orchards. In another town, I talked to a successful restaurateur-hotelier who proudly told me how he'd started out by selling bread to farmers as they walked to work every day at dawn.

#4 I want you to be your own person and pursue your own desires and aspirations. I don’t want you to be like your father, who became an investor.
