Tentang eBook ini
In this “sure-fire all-American success story” (The New York Times Book Review), the founder of Wal-Mart describes the inspiration, heart, and optimism that propelled him to build the largest retailer in the world.
“[A] wise and inspiring autobiography—Walton tells his quietly fantastic story with conviction and makes no bones about his mistakes.”—San Francisco Chronicle
Meet a genuine American folk hero cut from the homespun cloth of America’s heartland: Sam Walton, who parlayed a single dime store in a hardscrabble cotton town into the retail giant Wal-Mart.
In Sam Walton: Made in America, he tells his extraordinary story in his own inimitable words. Genuinely modest but always sure of his ambitions and achievements, he shares a revealing perspective on the elements of his success along with his philosophy of life and practical business advice, including:
• Competition: I’ve always had a passion to compete. Our story proves that spirited competition is good for business
• Partnership: Individuals don’t win; teams do. Wal-Mart is just a spectacular example of what happens when people find a way to work together.
• Money: Success has always had its price and I learned that lesson the hard way.
• Celebrity: I’m not sure I ever really figured out this celebrity business. Why do I drive a pickup truck? What am I supposed to haul my dog around in, a Rolls-Royce?
• Family: The kids received your everyday heartland upbringing based on the same old bedrock values: a belief in the importance of hard work, honestly, neighborliness, and thrift.
A compelling self-portrait, Sam Walton: Made in America is an inspiring ode to the American Dream.
