Go Super to Listen Go Super!

There are all types of people in this world. Some people feel successful if they have a nice job and a relaxed life. Other people don’t feel successful in this situation. Instead, they work harder and harder. Earning just enough money isn’t satisfying for them. They want as much money as possible. This helps them create more business and help other people. These very rich and very powerful people are moguls.

Some of the world’s richest moguls are very famous, such as Oprah Winfrey or Jay Z. DJ Khaled is also a mogul. He is a successful DJ and music producer. He recently welcomed a son into his family, Asahd Tuck Khaled. He loves his son and dresses him in stylish clothes. He will support his son no matter what he decides to do in the future. However, DJ Khaled believes that Asahd will be a great mogul, just like his dad.

Portugal

I can mention the football player Cristiano Ronaldo or the coach José Mourinho as my favourites Moguls!! Both struggle hard to be better. Cristiano assume publicly that he’s addicted to success and awards, and he strives for it every day. I mentioned this two because they are Portuguese, and they are known everywhere, that helps to promote our country and national economy.


I like to follow the success of some moguls has an inspiration! I think however, that be a mogul isn’t something we could decide. A lot of things should happen in the same sense (abilities and personality, opportunities, be in the right place at the right time, have some lucky, know the right persons…), or you should born already rich.
