[00:10.09]What was Frank's first job? [00:14.48]Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about [00:19.08]his experiences as a young man. [00:23.07]Before he retired, [00:25.39]Frank was the head of [00:26.96]a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. [00:34.44]It was his job to repair bicycles [00:37.50]and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day. [00:42.98]He saved money for years and [00:45.37]in 1958 he bought a small workshop of his own. [00:50.77]In his twenties Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes. [00:56.63]At that time he had two helpers. [01:00.18]In a few years the small workshop had become a large factory [01:05.56]which employed seven hundred and twenty-eight people. [01:10.63]Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and the long road to success. [01:18.24]He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in. [01:23.59]She wanted him to repair their grandson's bicycle!
