[00:22.35]Success story
[00:24.76]Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me
[00:28.17]about his experiences as a young man.
[00:31.30]Before he retired,Frank was the head of a very large business company,
[00:35.04]but as a boy he used to work in a small shop.
[00:38.87]It was his job to repair bicycles
[00:41.68]and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day.
[00:45.87]He saved money for years and in 1958 he bought a small workshop of his own.
[00:52.97]In his twenties Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes.
[00:57.81]At that time he had two helpers
[01:00.81]In a few years the small workshop had become a large factory
[01:05.70]which employed seven hundred and twenty-eight people.
[01:09.11]Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years
[01:12.79]and the long road to success.
[01:15.48]He was still smiling when the door opened
[01:18.01]and his wife came in
[01:19.61]She wanted him to repair their grandson's bicycle!
