Believing in what negative people think of you or giving in to
self-limiting thoughts is the biggest obstruction to success. People who
channelize negative comments into changing their lives are winners;
French business mogul and art collector Francois Pinault is one of them.
Things
went worst for Francois Pinault when he was consistently teased for
being poor in high school by his fellow students and he finally opted to
drop out. He turned the negative experiences of his life into a stream
of positive energies, altered those negative words made against him into
positive ones and proceeded in life with determination, consistency,
and hard work. Difficult life situations made him learn to deal with
them head on and he ended up becoming the man behind some the world’s
famous high-fashion houses including Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, and YSL.
After
quitting his high school in 1947, he joined his family’s business –
timber trading. In the 1970s when he already had the knowledge of how to
keep going on with business he started buying smaller firms and
transforming them into giant enterprise. His strategy in taking over
small enterprises and turning them into mega brands has helped him to
establish the sprawling empire. Today his net worth stands over $15
billion.
His story is inspiring for those who believe in dreaming
big and keeping faith that they do come true with perseverance and
sincere hard work. Critics or doubters can’t take your courage away if you stay strong enough to stand firm, regardless of circumstances
