My Grandfather, a Millionaire, was born in a house that doesn't even had a Toilet

My grandfather, a millionaire, was born in this house that doesn't even have a toilet.

My grandfather was born to a very poor family in this small village. In this environment, in very hard conditions, it was not possible to go to a school.

But my grandfather was devoted to his dream, engineering. He read tons of books, he studied every day and every night. He spent his years preparing for the university exam.

And finally he succeeded. He left the village and went to a university in another city. He is accepted to the engineering department as he wanted. He was still so hard working that he was even studying while the class was taking photograph. (My grandfather is holding the book in front):)

After graduating from university, he set up his own business. After years, his company became one of the best construction companies in the country. My grandfather’s next plan was to build a school. That was what he wanted the most, because it was a school that changed his life.

With 40 years of accumulation, he built a school for young children. That was my grandfather's happiest day.

After that day, I never saw my grandfather upset. He is very happy to make his most important dream come true, and now he is spending all his time with our family. In the summer, my cousins and siblings come together and play in the garden. And my grandfather accompanies their games :)

The biggest lesson his life has taught me is that success is no accident. It's hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love for what you are doing or learning to do.
