"I see potential in you, young man." Mark could never forget the words his benefactor had once told him. All thanks to him, Mr. Joss, or Mark could never became the well-known businessman worldwide. Now, Mark is an incapacited man who is too busy to even talk on the phone. Mark still could remember how they first met. He was a young and fit sixteen-year-old man, but unemployed because he did not recieve proper education due to the fact that his family was poor. His father had believed the fabricated lies made by those swindlers, which made their family go bankrupt. So, Mark ended up begging for money and food so that he can feed his old and sick mother at home.

One day, Mark walked past this luxurious restaurant and accidentally banged into Mr. Joss. "How dare you bang into him?! You have dirtied his suit!" Mr. Joss' assistant shouted at Mark. He looked up and realised that it was the most sucessful businessman in his country, Mr. Joss. "I'm sorry. I'm really, very sorry," Mark kept apologising. Suddenly Mr. Joss said, "It's okay. Why are you here begging for money when you're still a young man?" Mark sighed and explained his current plight. After listening to Mark's sad story, Mr. Joss said, "Come to my office tomorrow. I'm sure you know where is it, right?" "H-Huh? But why?"Mark asked, with a confused look on his face. "Well, you can come to work for me. The pay's better than the amount of money you begged here, no matter what." With that, Mr. Joss turned and walked off. The second day, Mark went to look for Mr. Joss who taught him the basics of setting up a business and giving a sum of money for Mark to set up one by himself.

Till this day, Mark is still grateful to Mr. Joss for acknowledging and teaching him. He walked up slowly to Mr. Joss' tombstone and gave a final bow.
