You never know!

In 1887 John W. Nordstrom left his home in Sweden and headed for New York City. At this time he was 16 years old and only had five dollars in his wallet. He then ventured to states such as California and Alaska. He made 13,000 dollars while living in Alaska and he realized that it was too expensive to live there. Once he left Alaska, he moved to Seattle WA where he opened a shoe store with a friend in 1901. The company was called Nordstrom Inc. Once the company started making more profit they opened more shoes stores throughout Washington and Oregon. They purchased a Seattle based clothing store and then also bought a fashion retail operation in Oregon. In 1971 the company was handed down to the third generation which was then owned by the son's. At this time Nordstrom had reached $100,000,000 in sales. Today there is a Nordstrom in every major city throughout the United States and they are still expanding. You really never know what can happen in life, so keep motivated in what you are doing and never give up.
