What I learned from reading The Women of Berkshire Hathaway: Lessons from Warren Buffett's Female CEOs and Directors by Karen Linder.

单集文稿 ...

  • The tale of Rose Blomkin is a quintessential immigrant success story.

  • She was born in a village near Minsk, Russia.

  • She and her seven siblings lived in a two room log cabin and had to sleep on straw mats.

  • Her father was a rabbi and spent his days in religious study.

  • Her mother ran a small general store.

  • My father was so religious, he said, that my mother had to support us.

  • He only prayed.

  • Rose never attended school.

  • She started helping her mother in the store at the age of six.

  • She once woke up in the middle of the night and saw her mother washing clothes and baking bread for the next day.

  • Rose said, when I grow up, you're not going to work so hard.

  • I can't stand it the way you have to work day and night.

  • When Rose was 13, she left home, walking barefoot for 18 miles to get to a train.

  • She stowed away on the train and got off 300 miles away at a small town near the ukrainian border.

  • She went from shop to shop looking for a job and a place to stay.

  • You're just a kid, one store owner said.

  • I'm not a beggar.

  • Rose shot back.

  • With only $0.04 in her pocket.

  • She asked to sleep in the house that night.
