Li Ka Shing: Knowledge Changes Fate



Li Ka Shing:
I am Li Ka-Shing, I became an apprentice at the age of 12. By the time I was 15, I had to support my entire family, thus depriving me of a formal education.

At the time I was very certain that I must work hard and acquire knowledge to have good prospects.
I bought second-hand books whenever I had spare money and absorbed them before trading them for more books.

Even today I still read every night before going to sleep.

Knowledge does not guarantee a life of riches, but it does open up more opportunities. And recognising opportunities is really the best that you can expect.
