It's never a crime to start from scratch. Some wealthy people started on scratch that led them to riches like the owner of the business empire in the Philippines the SM. It's owned by Henry Sy. He was so poor that his parents cannot even buy slippers for him. He worked hard by polishing shoes at the heart of the city of Manila . He kept his money.
At the age of 14, he started to selling cheap slippers on the sidewalk. His small business became big that he decided to rent a space to display his slippers. He approached Mercury Drug store to let him rent a space. The space was labeled for rent but the owner of Mercury Drug refused.
Henry Sy rented the space adjacent to Mercury Drug and after some years,he was able to buy the space and it was his first SM Mall. When his business reached throughout the country, Mercury Drug wanted to rent a space for his drug pharmacy but Henry Sy turned down the proposal. There is no Mercury Drug pharmacy in the entire business empire of SM. In. Manila, it is called SM Mega Mall. In the city where I live, it is named SM Downtown. There are 3 SMs in my city.
In short, there is nothing impossible to make what we dream come true.
