‘Having This Type Of Friend Is As Precious As Having A Treasure’, Billionaire Teaches His Children
Hong Kong's richest billionaire, Li Ka-shing and other experienced billionaires can always recognize: The type of person who possesses the following habits is a potential partner, a treasure worth long-term "investment".
He was called a "superman" because of his business acumen, along with his ability to win tough deals.
Li is considered an idol of Hong Kong's economy, not only because of his huge fortune, but also from the story of starting from scratch and years of building a career that inspire generations of young people.
He has two sons: Victor Li Tzar-kuoi and Richard Li Tzar-kai. After he retired in 2018, his eldest son, Li Tzar-kuoi, inherited his father's CK Hutchison Holdings. His younger son also founded his own billion-dollar empire - Pacific Century Group (PCG).
It is believed that the success of these two Hong Kong "Crown Prince" and " Prince" are all from his father's valuable business lessons, but the truth is completely opposite. This billionaire always teaches his son profound moral lessons.Li once taught his children on choosing friends: ‘Knowing how to associate and get close to these people, we will directly benefit a lot from the treasure inside them. That is: People who are afraid of poverty.’
The former are more responsible for preserving and maintaining the family's wealth, while the latter are truly talented people who have the ability to create and accumulate outstanding wealth by their own efforts.
This contrast has partly proved that people with the fear of “poverty and difficulties" have a greater desire to earn more money, and have a higher motivation to constantly develop.
Besides, this billionaire also advises his children to definitely associate and befriend the following people:
That potential may be large or small, may achieve good results or not, but will be the main "treasure" to train our capacity and mind in the future on the life-long career.
Making money and getting rich may be one of life goals, but it shouldn't be the only one. When one can imagine and define a future for himself with fixed ideals, he will not be blinded by money and fame presented in front of him.Knowing how to set accurate goals to identify the right direction and constantly strive is a task that plays an extremely important role in the success of each person.
Only those who set a goal to strive for themselves, constantly make efforts to develop, always expand their thinking, expand their knowledge to innovate themselves, are those who have potential to go further with their future career.
