"It's a story about entrepreneurship, and risk, and hard work, and knowing where you want to go and being willing to do what it takes to get there.  And it's a story about believing in your idea even when maybe some other folks don't, and about sticking to your guns."

"Here is an extraordinary success story about a man whose empire was built not with smoke and mirrors, but with good old-fashioned elbow grease."
-- Detroit Free Press
"A sure-fire all-American success story."

Meet a genuine American folk hero cut from the homespun cloth of America's heartland: Sam Walton, who parlayed a single dime store in a hardscrabble cotton town into Wal-Mart, the largest retailer in the world.  The undisputed merchant king of the late twentieth century, Sam never lost the common touch.  Here, finally, inimitable words.  Genuinely modest, but always sure if his ambitions and achievements.  Sam shares his thinking in a candid, straight-from-the-shoulder style.
In a story rich with anecdotes and the "rules of the road" of both Main Street and Wall Street, Sam Walton chronicles the inspiration, heart, and optimism that propelled him to lasso the American Dream.

真的很多是废话,更像是自己的回忆录在和一生中出现过的人道别。但比较让人不舒服的一点是其自负的态度……此书的意义在很多章节的废话里面是在告诉大家你们错啦我Sam Walton和Walmart可尼玛牛逼了而不是告诉大家说this is my secret for being successful 所以让人有点无语

老爷子典型的高能量企业家型人格,拜服。书中提及的很多零售理念、经营模式、管理手段仍在沃尔玛和山姆贯彻执行着。是对积累多年的宝贵经验极真诚的总结提炼。相信这样严密运转、永不自满的企业能走的很远很好。不论作为读者还是亲历者,都学到了太多。
