核心要点
From Five and Dime to Retail Empire
Sam Walton's journey from a small-town merchant to creating the world's largest retail corporation isn't just a business success story-it's a masterclass in American entrepreneurship. What makes this tale so compelling is that Walton wasn't born with extraordinary advantages or talents. He was simply a hardworking man with an unquenchable competitive spirit and an eye for retail innovation. When Forbes named him "America's richest man" in 1985, reporters expected to find a lavish lifestyle. Instead, they discovered a humble man in an old pickup truck, getting haircuts at the local barbershop, wearing his signature Walmart cap. This disconnect between his immense wealth and modest lifestyle wasn't an act-it reflected core values that would become the foundation of his business empire. Growing up during the Great Depression, Walton learned the value of hard work and thrift early. He milked cows for his mother's small milk business and maintained paper routes through college. These formative experiences shaped his lifelong belief that money must be earned through diligent effort-a principle that would later define Walmart's operational philosophy. When asked why he drove a pickup truck despite his billions, his answer was characteristically straightforward: "What else would I haul my dogs in?"
