First-born kids become CEO material

Reference:

Jones, D. (2007, September 4th). First-born kids become CEO material. USATODAY.com. Retrieved on September 21, 2007 from: http://www.usatoday.com/money/companies/management/2007-09-03-ceo-birth_N.htm
Summary:

In the article, “First-born kids become CEO material” by D. Jones, the author uses a lot of examples to tell us that more CEOs are the oldest children in the family. She believes the oldest children on average had a slightly higher IQ than their siblings, because of undivided attention from their parents. When you are born, your nutrition comes from your mother, so you can get more and better, and then you can have more good genes from your parents, so there are the reasons the author believes the oldest children are smart. But other brothers and sisters’ help is very important too, so this means you succeed not only because you are first-born, also you need parents and other sisters and brothers help. The important thing is you need to work hard, then you can win.

Summary:

Now a lot of data side the first-born child is smart than later and they can become the CEO, but a lot of CEOs are the oldest child in the family, the reason is they can get more nutrition that comes from their mother and good genes from their parents. But I think the important reason is you work hard. I believe what Thomas Alva Edison said: Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration. It’s not that you just only sit there, and you can became the CEO; I think good genes from your parents is not very important, we can not say that’s wrong, but this doesn’t matter, we just care if he works hard at his job and classes. Thomas Alva Edison worked harder and harder and tried to use a lot of different ways to help him to develop the light; finally he successfully invented the incandescent light bulb. Some people say I work harder and harder every day, a lot of things but why can’t I succeed. You expend a lot of energy and work very hard, you do not succeed, but did you find yourself better than before? A lot of people succeed not just by working hard and wining in his enterprise, but because he works hard all his life and then he receives what he wants. Working hard is good for you; some people think they are very smart and parents are very rich, so they stay at home and play games or not study hard; at the end they receive nothing, because the god is impartial, not only you smart you can win anything. Perspiration is the key to success. So don’t waste your time, please remember money doesn’t grow on trees.
