.....after reading this....I don't think this article is that good....

firstly, I think the comparison is not good ("清潔工, 上網 and 億萬富翁).

In reality....I don't think a billionaire in nowadays would still not know how to go on Internet....

even normal old people would try to learn how to get on Internet.....

secondly....if the person in the story really became a cleaner(清潔工), since he worked hard and he continued to learn new things (like computer and internet).  He might also have a chance to become a billionaire.  

and this part of the story:
"這個故事給了我們三個啟示：
一、要到微軟應徵最好要學會上網，不然你可能連清潔工都無法錄取。
二、不會上網未必不能飛黃騰達，還是有機會當億萬富翁。
三、你看到了這篇文章，表示你會上網，那你當清潔工的機會應該比變成億萬富翁大..."

these 3 points are totally stupid and unnecessary to the main point of the story.

I know that the main point of the story is this "機會跟命運都是掌握在自己的手上的，如果這男子不把逆境轉化成機會扭轉自己的命運，今天的他就不會是個億萬富翁了。"

however, in the story which is really stupid...the person earned money by selling potatoes and even built up his business.....
if that could happen in real world, then I totally don't think it was a 逆境 for that person......
