Ten long years passed in the bustling city of Chicago.
Mark spent every night studying technology and business legal codes.
He slept only four hours each night to build his software startup.
His small apartment had a leaking roof and cheap furniture.
Yet his mind remained sharp and focused on his ultimate dream.
Investors eventually noticed his incredible smart ideas and dedication.
Mark secured a massive investment for his technology company.
Within five years, his company became an international powerhouse.
Now, Mark was the CEO of a multi-billion dollar tech firm.
His high-end corporate office featured hardwood oak floors and framed USA flags.
Mark stood by the grand glass window wearing a tailored navy suit.
His executive assistant knocked softly on the heavy oak door.
Assistant: Mr. Miller, the new junior regional manager is here for your review.
Mark: Send him in right now.
The door opened slowly, revealing a nervous man in plain clothes.
It was Chad, holding a stack of corporate files in his hands.
Chad had lost his inheritance through terrible stock investments years ago.
He was now desperate for a basic corporate job to pay his mortgage.
Chad did not recognize Mark immediately in the dark navy suit.
Chad: Good morning, sir. I have the monthly reports ready for you.
Mark turned around slowly and faced his former rival.
Mark: Look at me closely, Chad.
Chad stopped dead in his tracks as his face turned pale white.
Chad: Mark? Is that really you?
Mark: Yes, it is the poor boy from the park bench.
Chad dropped his stack of paper files onto the polished floor.
The white papers scattered everywhere across the room.
Chad stepped back in pure terror and shock.
