much more effect on our personality and development than other experiences that we have in our life.”

, Stanley Yan,

one

of the hotel presidents, wasn’t a good student at school.

However

, he went to a delivery company to become a fundamental employee and tried his best to learn. Through a

, he was asked to become the president of the hotel. From these examples, they prove that experience may have more influence to make people successful. After a

of experiences will make you stronger.
