There is a network of great people.

STASSOSA in the future will be producing governors, Presidents, and other great men which we don't know who will rise first. Hence, is the reason to keep up in contact with each other and the school seems right to provide the platform. STASS invites all old students to her graduation and STASSOSA inauguration ceremony.

Sometimes we focus so much on what we can't do, that
we forget what we can do. God has equipped each of us
with something special, and though we may not be able to
immediately see it, it is there. We must not ever forget that
there are no limits to His miracles or blessings;
sometimes we just have look a little closer.

What’s the rags to riches story that has led a young girl in
poverty to become the World’s wealthiest self-made female
billionaire?
There’s a good chance the mobile phone you’re using has a
screen made by her: “The Touchscreen Queen”, Zhou
Quinfei. How can her billion dollar journey help you on
yours? Here’s her three big steps to success:
STEP ONE: BE RELENTLESS
Qunfei was born to a poor family in a tiny village in China.
Her father was blinded in a factory accident, and her mum
died when she was five. Determined to be successful, she
quit school at 16 and went to live with her uncle in Shenzen,
saying "I don't want to die regretting what I didn't do.”
She got a factory job making watch faces for $1 a day, and
sent the money back to her father.
Bored with the job, after three months she quit, but was
given a promotion instead. Guessing why, she said “Maybe
it was because my resignation letter was well written and
this attracted the attention of the factory supervisor”.
She kept being promoted up to management but then in
1993, at 22 years old, her factory shut down. So she
decided to take her knowledge, connections and $3,000 in
savings and begin her own watch face factory, which she
started next doors to her old factory.
The early days weren’t easy: ”Twice I even had to sell my
house in order to pay my employees salary. Much like
climbing a mountain, it's not your physical strength that
will get you to the top, but your tenacity and persistence."
Then, in 1997 the Asian financial crisis hit. This is when her
persistence really paid off. She went to the watchmakers
who owed her money and settled their debts in exchange for
their equipment. So while other factories closed down, she
gradually assembled an entire production suite for glass
processing for next to nothing.
STEP TWO: BE OPEN TO CHANGE
Six years later, in 2003, she got a call from Motorola, who
wanted a glass screen for their new Razr V3 mobile phone:
“I got this call, and they said, ‘Just answer yes or no, and if
the answer’s yes, we’ll help you set up the process. I said
‘yes’.”
Her success with Motorola led to HTC, Nokia and Samsung
also calling. Then, in 2007, Apple launched the iPhone, and
picked Qunfei’s company as the supplier.
Ten years late, Lens Technology has 32 factories in seven
different locations and employs more than 90,000 staff.
Their glass is used in over 50% of all smartphones in the
world, and in all Apple iWatches.
A year ago, Quinfei listed her company on the stock market,
making her the wealthiest self-made female billionaire in
the world. Today she is worth $6.4 billion.
STEP THREE: KNOW YOU’RE UNIQUELY QUALIFIED TO BE
YOU
Qunfei says when she was a child she would watch the rain
falling on lotus leaves. That’s what later inspired her to
create Lens Technology's patented, scratch-resistant
coating on smartphones.
'Droplets of water would roll around the surface of a lotus
leaf and not leave any trace,' she said.
'If it wasn't for my primary school teacher reminding me to
be observant I may not have had the inspiration to think of
my invention.'
Ms. Zhou also credits her detailed-oriented approach to her
childhood. “My father had lost his eyesight, so if we placed
something somewhere, it had to be in the right spot, exactly,
or something could go wrong,” she said. “That’s the
attention to detail I demand at the workplace.”
How can you see every closed door as a new opportunity?
How open are you to new opportunities that could transform
your own success?
How can you use your past experiences to support your
future vision?
Use Qunfei’s story as an inspiration for your own journey.
As a self-taught expert in glass, she’s a living example of
how, with persistence, every glass ceiling can be broken.
