From nothing to the richest man of Asia, Li’s experiences of his life become a legend in the business area. As one of the successful businessman of world, Li always believes in these three most important qualities.

Firstly, Li is good at communication skill. People said that, a good salesman cannot be made, but born. Li is born to sell. Here is a true story. When Li was a salesman, he was selling the Cleaning Sprinkler one day. At the beginning, he found the manager of several restaurants and made his speech, but none of them show a little interest in his product. He thinks about it, why? Suddenly, an idea comes out in his mind. Li pretended the customer, found a chance to talk to the worker, cleaners, in the restaurants. He shows them how convenient to clean the tables and floor with the Sprinkler. The workers were convinced by his speech and recommend his product to their managers. He makes it. Li have recognized that the managers would not care about how to clean the tables and floor, and he believes his stuff much more than the salesman who he doesn’t know. That’s one kind of what we call “You Orientation” today to the managers. With this communication skill, Li became the Top salesman of his company, and the number of his year-end sales is 7 times as the second one.

    He credits his success to a rule of listening to and supporting his sales force team rather than giving them orders, which represents the inverted pyramid with management at the bottom and customers and sales people at the top (A reference, 2015). Some may see his leadership falling short when it comes to being innovative and creative since he still focuses on doing business the way his family did it, striving to provide superior service, “one customer at a time” (Lewis,…

    I was always hopeful for Li, and felt lucky that my son, out of all other promising students in Qindao, had been chosen to dance for Chairman Mao. Although the luck of the Cunxin family had changed, it was difficult to adjust to life in the commune without Li’s presence as a guiding light, or a helping hand. Having 7 sons while living our conditions was stressful on my poor heart, and Li was aware of this. He always told me how he wished he could help me feel better. He was a good boy, and is to this day. There were days when all I wanted to do was scream and shout at those boys, but Li made me feel comfortable and safe. He always would show me love and affection either through his kind and encouraging words, or through the warmth of his comforting cuddles. That little boy had no idea that his success was our hope of breaking out of the vicious cycle of poverty. If he had known this, he might have been keener to go to the dance academy. The day Li had been chosen was one of the happiest of my life.…

    The Murder case of Hae Min Lee is a flawed one, it lacks not only physical evidence, but a good reasoning on why they thought Adnan Syed killed his ex-girlfriend. This case gained only local interest until in 2014 Sarah Koenig who created a podcast called, “Serial” , where she did years of research to try, and find the truth but she came to a lot of dead ends. The information only led to more questions about the case. I believe Adnan Syed is innocent, and there was never a good of enough reason for him to be charged with the murder. I will go over why I stand by his innocence, and the fault in the evidence that was brought up during the trial that led to his ultimate conviction.…

    Just as Willy is blind to the totality of the American Dream, concentrating on the aspects related to material success, so is the salesman, in general, lacking, blinded to the total human experience by his conflation of the professional and the personal. Like Charley says, “No man only needs a little salary”—no man can sustain himself on money and materiality without an emotional or spiritual life to provide meaning.…
