	Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawking told me about his experience as young. Frank is now the head of a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. It was his job to repair bicycles and at the same time he used to work fourteen hours a day. He saved money for years and in 1938 he bought a small workshop of his own. During the war Frank used to make spare part for planes. At that time he had two helpers. By the end of the war, the small workshop had become a large factory which employed seven hundred and twenty-eight people. Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and the long road to success. He was smiling when the door opened and his wife came in. She wanted him to repair their son's bicycle.
