The factory is entirely dependent on the technician and his apprentices.
One day, the factory because of disagreement with the Pusey mechanic and quarrel, the Pusey mechanic angry and took his disciples back to Italy.
Meissen Ceramics was forced to stop production because there was no one to replace Pusey. Maisen ceramics factory senior leadership suddenly into a mess. At this point, Bettger stepped forward to the factory leadership, said: "Can I let me try?" Factory leaders kept shaking their heads: "You, a garbage worker also want to do the work of the technician?" Bettger immediately brought a vase he had made from home and said, "Please take a look at this, which one is better compared to our factory's products?" After the factory leaders look at, one by one dumbfounded, have asked Betege: "This vase is really you burned?" Bettger replied affirmatively, "Yes." It turned out that this in the factory unobtrusive work for nearly ten years of garbage workers, actually every day to steal the Pusey technician's craft, even the factory officially sent to learn the art of Pusey technician staff have not been able to learn the things, but by the Bettger all learned.
The factory asked Bettger, "If you need anything, just ask." Bettger said, "My current monthly salary is 20 euros, can you raise my monthly salary to 30 euros?" Bettger was afraid that the factory leader did not agree to quickly explained: "I still still do my garbage man, I just part-time mechanic, because my mother suffers from severe asthma, need to take 10 euros a month of medication, and my salary is only enough for the family's monthly living expenses."
It turns out that Bettger was very envious of the apprentices, who were getting 30 euros a month, while he himself was only getting 20 euros. So, in order to be on a par with the apprentices, and even more so that his mother can take medicine every month, he secretly learned the craft of firing pottery. The factory manager replied: "If you can replace Puse, you can not only stop working as a garbage collector, but from now on, your monthly salary will be the same as Puse's, which is 10,000 euros per month." The Meissen ceramics factory is finally up and running again. Bettger, the original garbageman, never dreamed of getting such a high salary. Today, Meissen has become a major German pottery town, and Bettger's fame is far more than any other top Italian technician.

He was born in 1934 in Meixian County, Guangdong Province, in a poor peasant family, the whole family's life has been very hard. When he was small, he couldn't even wear shoes in winter. After the founding of New China, he relied on scholarships to complete his secondary school and university education, and graduated from the Department of Biology of Sun Yat-sen University in 1961.
In 1963, he traveled to Thailand via Hong Kong and lived there for five years, returning to Hong Kong from Thailand in 1968. In 1968, he returned to Hong Kong from Thailand. When he first came back to Hong Kong, he was empty-handed and in a difficult situation. In order to make ends meet, he even babysat for someone.
The hardship of life made him develop the idea of entrepreneurship. He used the evening time to study the market situation in Hong Kong, and found that although the clothing industry in Hong Kong is developed, Hong Kong people also like to wear suits, but there is no factory to produce ties. So, he took out the usual frugal savings of 6,000 Hong Kong dollars, and vacated his own rented house, set up a tie production plant.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. In the beginning, he and his wife only sewed low-grade ties by hand. Although the couple got up early and worked very hard, business was very bad. After careful consideration, he decided to switch to high-grade ties. He bought high-grade ties from France and Switzerland for research and imitation, and produced a number of high-grade ties. In order to open up sales, he made a hard decision to put the first batch of products in a store to distribute to customers for free.
Because of the color and style of the right head, he came up with this batch of products are very popular. Soon, his ties became famous in Hong Kong. By 1970, his ties were very popular in Hong Kong.

He visited many tie factories in Western Europe to learn their production technology and business methods, and then set the strengths of all, the introduction of advanced production equipment and strict management, inspection system, so that "Jinlilai" ties gradually occupied the Hong Kong market, and became a symbol of the men's solemnity, elegance, and dashing.
In 1974, Hong Kong's economy was in a depression, and all kinds of commodities were sold at reduced prices, but he did the opposite. On the one hand, he improved the quality of his ties, and on the other hand, he uniquely raised the prices. As a result, business was surprisingly good, and when the recession was over, "Goldilocks" doubled in value and became the leading brand-name tie in Hong Kong.
Not only ties, he also expanded his development plan to more men's products. He has been familiar to Hong Kong people over the years, the advertising slogan "Jinlilai tie, men's world" made a seemingly simple, but in fact y creative changes to "Jinlilai, men's world", and from the T-shirt, and gradually launched a Jinlilai brand of Belt, socks, suspenders, lace, waistband, bow tie, tie clip, cufflinks, keychain and other series of products, so that the company and Jinlilai brand are diversified.

He personally went to Singapore to visit, set up a branch, looking for partners. After obtaining success and then quickly expand the battlefield to Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand ...... So far, the number of big customers of Goldilocks in these countries has exceeded thousands.

After the death of his father, all the burdens were on his mother, Lan Youmei. In order to let the children live, she had to do the men are reluctant to do the hard work, picking lime, picking salt ...... Even so, their lives are still in dire straits, and often eat this meal worry next meal, there is no way out, the mother had to rent a few acres of thin field.
It was a cold winter day, the mother due to often barefoot in the field, feet had frostbite, and cracked one exposed red flesh of the mouth, and then barefoot in the field, the pain of the heart. If she used adhesive tape on the wounds, they would fall off as soon as they got wet when she went out into the fields, and she could not afford to spend money on adhesive tape, but she thought that she would have to go out into the fields the next day, and if she did not take care of it, the cracks would get wider and wider, and so she decided to use an iron needle and cotton wool to sew it up. She will soak her feet into hot water, and soak the skin on the crack after softening, and then gritted her teeth and sewed up the crack, every stitch, blood flow, small Xianzi in a side to look at the tears, the mother of the pain to comfort her son: "Silly child, do not sew how to do it, the crack will be bigger and more painful, it's okay, bear a little bit of the past."

His father's income was meager, often sick, and many children, so Faraday was not even enough to eat when he was a child, sometimes he could only eat a week to a bread, of course, not to talk about going to school.

To the age of 13, Faraday into a printing house as a bookbinding apprentice, he was binding books, while learning. Whenever he had time off work, he pored over the books he was binding. Sometimes even in the delivery of the road, he also read while walking. After several years of hard work, Faraday finally took off the hat of illiteracy. Gradually, Faraday was able to read more and more books. He began to read the Encyclopedia Britannica, and often read late into the night. He especially liked books on electricity and mechanics. Faraday did not have the money to buy books, buy books, the use of printing press waste paper stapled into notebooks, excerpts from a variety of information, and sometimes with their own illustrations.
A chance opportunity, a member of the Royal Society, Dens came to the printing press to proofread his work, inadvertently found Faraday's "handwritten copy". When he realized that this is a bookbinder's apprentice notes, was shocked, so Dans gave Faraday Royal Academy of Lecture Tickets. Faraday with great excitement, came to the Royal Academy to listen. The report was the famous British chemist David, who was famous at the time. Faraday wide-eyed, very attentively listen to David lecture. After returning home, he organized the lecture notes into a book, as a self-study with the "chemistry textbook". Later, Faraday sent his carefully bound "chemistry textbook" to Prof. David, and attached a letter, said: "I would like to escape from the business world into the scientific world, because according to my imagination, science can make people noble and relatable". After receiving the letter, David was y moved. He appreciated Faraday's talent and decided to recruit him as an assistant.

Famous stories about self-reliance: TurnerTurner's childhood was filled with all sorts of tragic memories.
He didn't learn to speak until he was 3 years old. Shortly after the family was overjoyed that the boy could speak, a disaster struck when Turner was hit by a car while crossing the street, and his mom watched as he landed on his head, but it turned out that he only had a mild concussion and was fine after a few stitches. However, ever since then, all kinds of diseases have followed him around. Measles, chicken pox, pneumonia, eczema, asthma, rashes, enlarged tonsils ...... one disease after another, although not fatal, but to a child all day to fight against the disease, the misery is imaginable. Turner still vividly remembers his facial paralysis when he was 10 years old. He was about to brush his teeth and go to a holiday parade, but while brushing his teeth, he suddenly couldn't lift half of his face. He wanted to go to the parade so badly, but had to be rushed to the hospital by his mom once again. On the way to the hospital, he asked his mom, "Mom, is there really `A God?'" Mom said, "Of course there is." He said, "Then why is God so cruel to me that I always have to deal with doctors." Mom held his head and said to him, "Son, it's not that God is cruel, he's probably testing you and refining you beyond measure."
A 10-year-old child learned to be strong too soon because of his illness. Because of facial paralysis, he had to undergo spinal tap surgery. In fact, it is also the extraction of bone marrow. Not to mention a child, even an adult can hardly endure the severe pain caused by the operation. The doctor stuck a needle into his spine. He screamed out in pain, but he didn't struggle at all, didn't say to the doctor, "It hurts too much, I'm not going to do it." After the spinal tap was done and two weeks had passed, the symptoms of facial paralysis disappeared. However, misfortune did not spare this strong child. After the facial paralysis disappeared, his speech, which was already late, was a bit slurred. Whenever he opened his mouth to speak, people could not understand what he wanted to express. Even at home, only his older brother, Darius, with whom he spent a lot of time, could fully understand what he was trying to say, and even his mother occasionally needed Darius' "translation". This forced him to go back to the hospital, which he hated, and to give lectures. It wasn't until high school that Turner was able to speak in front of crowds without difficulty.
A sickly childhood left him with painful memories and a weak body. This frail and sickly child, however, loved to play basketball. Despite being touched by others on the basketball court and often bruised, Turner was forever passionate about basketball. He felt that he could be strong on the basketball court. Because he was so weak, no one would take him to play basketball, except for his older brother, Darius, who was willing to play basketball with him. The poor family had no basketball court or basketball hoop. The two brothers fixed a crate with milk to a pole and pinched a basketball hoop with an iron bar. That was enough, and day after day, year after year, the two brothers chased basketball and their dreams in the alley behind their house. He grew stronger and more skilled at basketball, and in high school, received an early acceptance offer from Ohio State University. And in the 2009 college tournament, he averaged a sizzling 20.3 points, 9.2 rebounds and 5.9 assists.
Who would have thought that this child, who had been stricken with multiple illnesses, would really turn into a strong and powerful giant. in the summer of 2010, Turner was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers as the top pick in the NBA draft, which was attended by a large number of young people. A three-year contract worth 12 million dollars was signed. This is the largest contract that a top draft pick can sign under NBA rules. Experts rated him as an excellent overall player with a great blend of talent, size, explosiveness, basketball IQ, and awareness of the big picture of basketball. At this time he is 1. 97 meters tall, weight 95 kilograms, arm span 2. 03 meters, in situ touch height 2. 7 meters. In an interview with a reporter, he said: "Other people's lives are full of stories, while my life is full of accidents. However, I don't complain. I think the same as my mom, those illnesses are nothing but a test of destiny, just to sharpen me up to be strong. I am grateful for them instead."
No one wants to suffer misfortune, but it will always happen. Think of it as a grind given by fate. Instead of retreating in fear, accept it openly. Affliction and hardship are the best furnaces to temper the strong, and miracles often come in the midst of bad luck.
