High up on a mountaintop in Ethiopia, a young Joseph Kibur lived in a hut, slept on a wooden bed and shepherded goats in a small village that boasted one main water supply -- a running river half a kilometre away. "My father's side of the family was poor; my mother's side was very poor," says Kibur, now 33. "But I never forgot my luck."
...
By then, Kibur had moved to Vancouver and had graduated from Simon Fraser University with a focus in science and technology. As soon as he graduated, Kibur knew he wanted to start an internet-related company. With hard work and an ambitious vision, Kibur co-founded NetNation, which was soon named one of Canada's 50 hottest startups. He and his partners withstood many challenges in the unpredictable technology industry, but they took the company public and earned respect on an international scale, partnering with companies like Microsoft. They sold the company for $10 million US in 2003."

Това къде е спал като малък няма много голямо значение, щото е дошъл в Канада преди повече от 20 години и тук е звършил и училище и университет, т.е. на практика си е второ поколение канадец от етиопски произход :

Kibur's journey out of Ethiopia was far less dramatic. It started with a move from the countryside to the Ethiopian city of Addis Ababa when he was seven years old. He then left for Canada, with his father, who had earned a university scholarship in chemistry in Montreal.

After Montreal came a move to Toronto, where a teenage Kibur started to train more seriously as a long-distance runner and first met George Gluppe, the coach who would mentor him for the next 18 years...

Как да няма, съмнявам се, че 99.99% от хората в тоя форум са спали в колиба и са пасли кози, преди да дойдат в Канада. Вероятно това е причината човека да стане милионер, просто има хъс още от дете и като захапе не пуска, като булдог . Нали си знаеш лафа за първите 7 години, той вероятно е имал правилни първи 7 години .

Kibur suggests another, more elemental, reason for the Ethiopian "running culture."
"Running is one of the few ways that people can leave the country," he says.
Kibur means both indirectly -- by becoming a competitive runner and winning money and athletic scholarships -- and literally -- as in leaving the volatile country on foot.
"People are getting more and more desperate today," he says. "I know people who left the country on foot to Sudan and took a boat across the Red Sea."

Чудя се само дали някой българчета дето напускат с подобен хъс, ще стигнат до такива милиони ?

Ми това е просто американската мечта в действие в края на 20 век само че е с "етиопски високотехнологичен оттенък". К'во нещо е образованието е-ейй!
