The old guy fingered his worsted wool vest and said, “Well, son, itwas 1932. The depth of the Great Depression. I was down to my lastnickel.” “I invested that nickel in an apple. I spent the entire daypolishing the apple and, at the end of the day, I sold the apple forten cents. “The next morning, I invested those ten cents in twoapples. I spent the entire day polishing them and sold them at 5:00 pmfor 20 cents. I continued this system for a month, by the end of whichI’d accumulated a fortune of $1.37.” “And that’s how you built an empire?” the boy asked. “Nah,” the old man replied. “My wife’s father died and left us two million dollars.” | |
