answer in your TLE notebook.

James grew up in a poor family where he learned the importance of hard
work. When he was in high school, he sold newspapers and cigarettes to help
pay for his schooling.

James learned he was good at woodworking in his TLE classes, and
realized he wanted to make it his profession someday. After high school, he
was not able to go on to college because of lack of money. Instead, he was
obliged to work in a furniture company.

The company where he worked closed when James was 20, and he
found himself suddenly out of job. Instead of applying in another company, he
decided to start his own furniture business. He raised money from his savings
and through loans.

To save his limited capital, James did not hire any help. He budgeted his
money very carefully, spending most of it on good tools and materials. He worked long hours creating clever designs for his furniture, and looking for
better ways to build them. James started selling his designs to hotels,
restaurants, and resorts. They liked his work so much, and soon, orders began
pouring in and his business grew.

Today, James is the owner of one of the most successful furniture
companies in the country.
