In 1994, O'Neill found a lonely boy in the hotel, and out of sympathy, he played with the boy for an afternoon, but he didn't expect this move to make him earn 1 billion.
In the NBA league in the 90s, there was such a star who was particularly eye-catching, he was the "big shark" O'Neal, with his strong body and excellent slam dunk skills, he became the unrivaled interior hegemon of the league at that time, he played for the Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat and many other teams, helping the Lakers and Kobe Bryant form a "inside twin towers" and jointly won 3 championship trophies.
In 1994, O'Neal was a guest in Los Angeles with the Lakers and stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel, when he was wandering in the lobby, he noticed a five- or six-year-old boy playing alone, O'Neal walked up and asked with concern, it turned out that the boy's father was in a meeting in the hotel, so he asked him to wait here, O'Neal understood that it was dangerous for a child to be alone in the hotel, so he offered to accompany him.
The next afternoon, O'Neill and the boy mingled, they played ball, played games, had a happy time, that evening, the boy's father hurried over, he sincerely thanked O'Neal for taking care of him, it turned out that the father was Larry Page, who later founded Google, Paige briefly introduced to O'Neal the Internet search engine project "Google" that he was brewing, O'Neal was very interested, and immediately decided to invest $1 million to buy Google's original shares.
In the years that followed, Google grew into the world's largest search engine company, and after going public, the stock price soared, and O'Neal's initial investment of $1 million eventually increased to a staggering $1 billion, bringing him a huge fortune.
O'Neill, who had gained a huge fortune, did not become greedy for pleasure, on the contrary, he actively participated in public welfare and established the O'Neill Foundation, which is dedicated to funding education and sports projects for underprivileged children.
For example, once, O'Neal heard that there was a local teenage boy who couldn't buy the right size basketball shoes because his feet were too big, so O'Neal contacted the shoe factory and customized dozens of pairs of large basketball shoes for the boy, and once, O'Neal saw on the news that an 11-year-old boy died in a car accident, and the family still had a gap in the funeral expenses could not be raised, O'Neal immediately contacted a friend to remit the remaining funeral expenses to the other party on his behalf to help them tide over the difficulties.
Despite having superior achievements and wealth, O'Neill has always maintained a humble and low-key style, never publicizing his good deeds, his success has not changed the true heart and kindness, O'Neill knows that his achievements are not accidental, he is grateful to everyone who has given him help and inspiration, so when he succeeds, he is more active in public welfare, with his own actions to give back to the society.
An encounter with a little boy completely changed the fate of O'Neill's life, but O'Neill was not complacent because of this, but remained humble, and worked harder to repay the society with action, all of which stemmed from his kind inner nature, O'Neill's story is emotional, the key to success is not how much material wealth is obtained, but whether to have a kind heart, always retain the true nature and warmth of humanity.
