Being a winner- A 2015 resolution learned from ROLEX

We all dream to get bigger and acomplish our initiatives. No matter how many marketing and personal development classes we follow there is still something missing that stands in the way of our true happiness.
At least, that's what we think.
Everything is achievable and ready for us. We just have to trust ourselves and get up after every failure.
Everybody thinks of luxury, yachts, easy lives and expensive belongings when they think of ROLEX. But only a few know the struggle and hard work of the owner to make it succeed.

ROLEX
Its founder was the known Hans Wilsdorf . (Click HERE to find out all his story). Many of us don't know the truth abouth his life. Born as a Bavarian, in Germany, he had to work early as a child because he was orphan and nobody would care for him.
His luck was that he was hired at Chaux-de Fonds , where he learned the misteries behind watch making. At the age of 24, in 1905, he moved to London and started his own bussiness with his brother-in-law, Alfred Davis, where he established the company Wilsdorf & Davis.

In 1908 he had to face another problem. Rebranding his company with a new name “Rolex”, a name that has a nice sonority, is easy to remember and is pronnounced as it is written in all European countries, he wanted to have total authority to inscript his brand on his watches but he was alowed to write the brand on 1 from 6 watches. He didn't give up, but came with a brilliant plan to chance the situation.
With his genius thinking, he knew success comes with a wide promovation, so he started investing £12,000 every year to increase the awareness of the brand on the market, action that allowed him to inscript 5 from 6 watches with the “Rolex” name.

With small but certain steps, by the time the Oyster was released on the market, he had total control on all his watches and collection.
What we can all learn from his actions was that problems appear in our lives to make us stronger and to help us overcome them and not the other way around.
Hans Wilsdorf had not only a great mind, but a warm heart, too.
During the World War II Royal Air Force pilots had all Rolex watches in order to replace their inferior standard-issue watches. However, when they got captured and sent to POW camps, all their assets including their Rolexes were confiscated. As Wilsdorf heard of this, he proposed to replace all the timepieces that had been confiscated and not require payment until the end of the war, “if the officers would write to Rolex and explain the circumstances of their loss and where they were being held.”
One other great deed he is known for is the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation , founded in 1944 after his wife death to which he left all his shares in the company, wanting that a big amount of the anual income of Rolex would go to charity, remembering his early years. The company still exists in the present day, helping thousands of ONGs and unpriviledged people.
