Henry Ford's Advice for Young People Who Want to Be Rich

Celestine Chua was a child when her parents and teachers began to sing it in her ears that “our objective in life was to be successful and financially abundant”, pointing at certain celebrities, successful businessmen, corporate leaders, and local politicians as models to follow. As a result, it was clear what she needed to do. Go to school, get good grades, get a good job, earn a huge amount of salary and eventually become successful. Since Celestine was too young to understand what it meant to choose one's path and explore one's potential, she trusted in the judgment of those around her and followed suit. Besides, they were taught in school that asking questions was a sign of defiance, and they should never ask questions.

It was a typical Chinese culture about conformance. Celestine lived her life following what parents and everyone else wanted. She was the brightest kid in her school and a consistent recipient of awards. Things, however, became interesting in Celestine's life when she got her first computer at age 15. For the first time ever, she began to see things differently and was ready to explore as much as possible. A friend of hers had told her about a man who made a lot of money online from his website. Although her goal back then was to just make money, Celestine soon discovered that she could be like him and even do better only if she believed she could. Henry Ford, the founder of Ford Motor company and business mogul, known for his business skills and bravery, once said something profound about discovering one's potential and limitations.
