This guy really inspires me. Let me share a little bit of his story.
He and his family emigrate from Punjab, India to San Jose in 1986.
He founded his first company, ClickAgents a performance-based advertising company in year 1998, and sold it for $40 million to a competitor ValueClick in an all-stock merger in 2000. After three year non-compete agreement with ValueClick ended. His formed a second venture, Blue Lithium in year 2004, and sold to Yahoo last year for $300 million in cash. What surprise me was he's 26 years old now. (what you were/are/will be doing in this age?)
It was definitely not an easy task for third world country immigrants to survive in a competitive foreign country like US. However, with his believes, courage, hard work and determination, anything dreams can come true. And now he is a multi-millionaire in his age. (he deserves more than a pat on his shoulder :) )
For those youngsters out there, please don’t complaint about your job, your paycheck or why you don’t born rich. You, yourself decide who you wannabe and where you wanna go.
Quote from Bill Gates: “If you born poor it’s not your mistake, but if you die poor it’s your mistake”.
