Additionally, President Trump’s plethora of successful business ventures should remind young people that they can accomplish anything so long as they are willing to work for it. In 1974, President Trump transformed the failing Grand Hyatt Hotel into a beautiful Manhattan cornerstone. In 1980, his Trump Tower become known as an iconic skyscraper standing on 5th Avenue in New York. In 1995, Mr. Trump purchased 40 Wall Street for $1MM and renovated it for $35MM. The building is now worth $500MM. In 2010, the Trump International Tower Chicago was named as the “best large city hotel in North America.”
Although President Trump started off with more money than most people, he still had to work in order to achieve such notable success in the worlds of business and real estate. President Trump could have been born a billionaire, but had he squandered his fortune, he would not be where he is today. Critics often state that Mr. Trump has only been successful because of his money. What they fail to realize is that Mr. Trump worked for what he has, which is what anyone must do if they crave success and affluence. Being born into wealth will only take you so far. At the end of the day, the amount of work you put in is what shall carry you to the finish line.
