Describing a Successful Businessman

Describing a Successful Businessman

Good  morning ladies and gentlemen;

How are you today? In this opportunities, I would like to talk about Bob Sadino, a successful businessman who has a lot of companies.

Bon Sadino is a ‘Nyentrik’ man because he always wear short jean wherever he goes. Even he attend a very formal event.

Bob Sadino actually came from a rich family. But, he didn’t want to run his success driven from his family. He wishes to show everyone that he can be successful by himself.

One day, he went out and join friend’s to start his own business. He used to fail until finally he becomes successful. He often stayed and lived as homeless, no-food, no-wear. He enjoyed them himself.

In short, his business is getting improved. He is as now a very successful businessman in Indonesia.

Ladies and gentlemen;

These all are about my presentation. Thank you and see you.
