2.        Open Risk Taker
TAN SRI LIM GOH TONG
            Business requires full attention, energy, time and sacrifice all for the business sector is very serious. If we dare to take risks, our business will continue to progress. Otherwise, wishful thinking baked will stop halfway, and the dignity of self that had pawned. Business can be viewed as the dignity of a person because no one wants his life failed and belittled others. The shrewd in business can afford to have a real life with all your wishes and dreams. As a palatial bungalow, drive fancy cars, financially stable, vacations around the globe with a variety of other amenities. Leading to the original topic, the business with the Chinese is very smooth and difficult to separate. It can be said that the secret of success of Chinese people is through business. Because of this, many of the millionaires Malaysia consist of groups of Chinese people. This group was able to lead a luxurious life as a result of their underlying business opportunities. More clearly when we say that any kind of business in Malaysia monopolized by these groups. Since the early days of Malaya, these people who come emigrate from China has held the helm in the transaction, especially its mines.

The closest example we are opening the biggest tourist center (Casino de Genting) Genting Highlands casino resort. (Now is Known as Resorts World Genting) Arrival him as a very poor led him to try harder to improve living standards. Genting Group founder cum Asian tycoon Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong was revealed a few tips so successfully practiced alone makes Genting Highlands Resort is an entertainment center and a world-leading vacation. As Malaysians, we should be proud and make it as inspiration to go ahead in business. The late Tan Sri is the founder of the Genting Group and president for life. He died in 2007, as Southeast Asia's richest man with assets worth RM 421.8 billion.

In addition, Tan Sri Lim also said that we must be prepared to face any eventuality with courage to fall this will make it as a stepping stone to continue to build a bright future. If you do not dare, a desire to start a business must stay. However, the emergence of a world-class tourism center is the brainchild of a Chinese man who was once labeled as crazy a long time ago. Mockery received the inspiration to go forward. People have said that the idea was not going anywhere and promised return on capital investment as no one is interested in a business like that. He responded to the challenge by working 2 shifts all week to save costs. He and his friends had to stay in the woods and caves close. He was the first to work on shifts 24 hours a day throughout the week to ensure that goal is achieved. He will also be among the first to get to work and be the last man to come home from work. He always keeps its employees and considers that all its employees are its most valuable assets. Now, First World Hotel is the largest hotel in the world.

In conclusion, we can see Tan Sri Lim for his willingness to take risks to achieve success. This is because everyone has the right to succeed and they should be given the opportunity to try his luck. Indeed, every ambition and dreams to charge full attention and the highest sacrifice.
