Chapter 12 Section 7 Jewish Father and Son in Auschwitz?

Wisdom can make one plus one greater than two. ? ?

In the 20s, there was a Jewish father and son who survived Auschwitz concentration camp.One day, the father said to his son: "Now our only wealth is wisdom. When others say that 40 plus 1 equals 1, you should think greater than 2."?
In 1946, they came to the United States and started a copper business in Houston.One day, the father asked his son what the price of a pound of copper was, and the son replied 35 cents.Father said, "Yeah, the whole state of Texas knows copper is 35 cents a pound, but as a Jewish son you should say $3? $5. You try to make a pound of copper into a doorknob and you know it real value."?
Twenty years later, the father passed away, and the son ran the copperware shop by himself.He has made bronze drums, reeds for Swiss clocks, and Olympic medals.He once sold a pound of copper for $20, when he was the chairman of McCall & Co. ?
However, it was a pile of trash in New York State that really made him famous. ?
In 1974, the U.S. government invited public tenders to clean up the waste left over from the renovation of the Statue of Liberty.But months passed, and no one accepted the bid.When he was traveling in France, he flew to New York immediately when he heard about it, saw the piles of copper, screws and wood piled up under the Statue of Liberty, and signed the contract immediately without mentioning any conditions. ?
In New York State, there are strict regulations on garbage disposal, and if you fail to do so, you will be sued by environmental protection organizations.Just when some people wanted to see the Jewish joke, he began to organize workers to sort the waste.He had people melt scrap copper and cast it into a small Statue of Liberty; he processed wood and other materials into bases; scrap lead and aluminum scraps were used to make the keys of New York Square; finally, he even packaged the dust swept from the Statue of Liberty. Get up and sell to the florist.In less than three months, he turned this pile of scrap into $3 million in cash, and the price of copper per pound doubled by a factor of 350. ?
Mind walk?

Turning rubbish into a "gold mine" requires wisdom, the ability to think, observation, imagination and creativity.These psychological characteristics will affect the efficiency of activities and belong to the category of ability.In fact, everyone's intelligence is about the same. Only those who are willing to use their brains can truly display their talents and achieve something. ?
