3月2日上午,在Lorain 印度裔Radhika 第三棟大樓 The
Historic Ariel Broadway Hotel 舉辦剪綵儀式,來自參議院Sherrod
Brown,市長等賓客300多位嘉賓到場,參議院 Sherrod Brown 感謝Radhika給Lorain帶來經濟收益,他也希望更多當地外地遊客來Lorain旅遊,當天市長也表示Lorain還有許多空間可以投資建設。
Radhika
Reddy眞的太了不起了,我還記得伊利華報在她第一棟樓剪綵的時候祝賀她夢想成眞。她30年前只有20美元存款,到今天,這是她三棟大樓,越做越大越走越遠。
今天帶上我的好朋友Jenny一起參加她的旅店剪綵活動,Jenny表示太不簡單的女士。
參加完剪綵典禮後去了Jenny她的Sylvan敎育中心,我想Radhika,也想着Jenny,Jenny不僅在克利夫蘭最高檔的商場創辦Gingin
Spa,她還擁有美國最大的Sylvan敎育中心,她與Radhika
Reddy是同路人,成功需要找到自己,用心去做好事情,Jenny也表示,她看到聽到Radhika
Reddy的創業觸動很大。沒有背景的印裔留學生Radhika怎么在克利夫蘭起家的?她social,
她敏鋭,善用美國聯邦政府、州政府、地區政府的政策和資金補助,還有稅收優惠政策去投資低收入地區和政府扶植行業。
我吿訴Jenny她一定會成功的,因爲成功不是別人走你也走,而是在別人停下來的時候,你仍然在向前 ,放棄很容易,但只能一無所得
,堅持很難,但終會有所收穫,別輕易停下,多堅持一分鐘就會多一點收穫。
