I'd like to talk about a friend of mine who started a successful import-export business.
My friend's name is Quynh, and we were classmates together when we were doing our bachelor's degree in business, at a university in Shanghai. To be honest, I mainly went there because my parents wanted me to, but Quynh was really enthusiastic about business from the first day of the course. Even then, she had definitely found her calling in life, and it was inspiring to see her engaging with all of the material and clearly enjoying herself in the process. After class, we would always study together in the library, and I guess a bit of her enthusiasm must have rubbed off on me because I ended up getting pretty good grades. We were in the same class throughout our 3 years at university and graduated together.
Once she left university, Quynh started a business importing and exporting groceries. At first, her clients were small local stores, but over time her business grew to include some of the major supermarket chains in our country. I believe that the secret to her success is that she works harder, and still shows more enthusiasm for her work, than anyone else I know. As a result, she has also managed to build connections with companies around the world which help her supply her customers in the best possible way.
I think she is amazing, and everyone could learn a thing or two from her.
-我想谈谈我的一位朋友,他成功地创办了一家进出口公司。
-我的朋友名叫 Quynh,我们在上海一所大学攻读商学学士学位时是同班同学。老实说,我去那里主要是因为父母的要求,但 Quynh 从第一天开始就对商业充满热情。即使在那个时候,她就已经找到了自己的人生目标,看到她投入地学习所有的课程,并在学习过程中享受其中,我很受鼓舞。下课后,我们总是一起在图书馆学习,我想她的热情一定也感染了我,因为我最终取得了不错的成绩。大学三年,我们一直在同一个班级,并且一起毕业。
-大学毕业后,Quynh 做起了食品杂货进出口生意。起初,她的客户都是当地的小商店,但随着时间的推移,她的业务逐渐扩展到我国的一些大型连锁超市。我相信,她成功的秘诀在于,她比我认识的任何人都更努力工作,而且对工作表现出更大的热情。因此,她还设法与世界各地的公司建立了联系,帮助她以最佳方式为客户供货。
-我认为她非常了不起,每个人都可以向她学习一两件事。
