      you don't really want to be successful

      There is no secret to success, it has been told by countless people since ancient times. It's just that most people really don't want to succeed that much.

After several setbacks in finding a job, he came to a relative's company and became a messenger.

      "Road to Development"

      "The Road

      to Development " has no name, how to develop? Go to New York! ! !

      The film depicts a 21-year-old Kansas soil cap college graduate who travels alone to New York in the hope of gaining a new world!
      It's a pity that the old hat is so unlucky, just stepping out of JFK International Airport (or LaGuardia International Airport?) is full of 80s atmosphere, whether it is the city scene, the costumes, the music, and even the smile!
      So the American migrant workers...

      starve the cowardly

      To be honest, if you look at it with the mentality of understanding financial knowledge, this movie is not a movie that can be recommended to everyone.

      Comedy Satire Inspirational Business Expose

      After watching Coca-Cola Kid, the slightly comic plot tells a bizarre story. I don't know if it is because I have too little contact. In short, I feel that it is completely inconsistent with reality. Perhaps, under the organizational structure of the United States, it is indeed easy for the personnel in the communication room to ascend to the sky or let them know more information, which is more important than their own positions. The previous film also told the saga of a boy in the delivery...

      I should have watched the whole film when I was in college. I watched someone make a brief statement two days ago, and then I found out that I am in good health and finding a rich woman is the secret to success. ....
