Two young Israeli entrepreneurs selling candy on the Street of Ramat Bet Shemesh ~ I couldn’t resist buying!

As early as I can remember, and long before I even knew what the word meant, I was an entrepreneur. From babysitting to shoveling snow to selling baseball cards and candy, as far as I can remember I was always doing business. I learned to read Hebrew not so much because I was such a great student in school, but because my Bubbe and Zaidy would pay me .02 for every word I read to them in Hebrew. So when ever I see young kids being entrepreneurial, I can’t help but support them. Today it was two young boys, brothers, that set-up shop outside my office. They were selling individual candies for .20 Agurot each. I gave them a 5 NIS piece and took 6 pieces of candy as a Rosh Chodesh treat for my family. Yes I know I over paid, but I wanted them to feel successful. Because when as youths you feel success in anything you do, it will only lead to more success and to stive to have the feelings of success again and again. It’s the drive of an entrepreneur that makes him successful when others fail becuse a true entrepreneur never fails since he is always in process and learning from his mistakes. The taffy never tasted so sweet.
