You ask how to start a business? Here is an example.
David Dawson, a serious mountain climber, was dissatisfied with soft iron pitons(锥锤), the only ones he was able to buy. They lasted just one or two climbs, and Dawson wanted to replace them with "chrome-molys" (铬铝合金) , which were harder, stronger and longer-lasting. Some climbers made them for limited distribution among friends, but they were not commercially available. So Dawson started Dawson Equipment Ltd., a purveyor (承办商) of climbing equipment, as a one-man enterprise in Burbank, California, in 1958. He had no plan, no management experience and no advertising. He worked in a shed using a hand forge purchased with $ 800 of capital borrowed from his mother.
What Dawson did have was a knowledge of the kind of equipment that he needed in his own climbs, and a sense that serious climbers would follow his lead. Currently Dawson Equipment is thriving and produces over 200 products.
Business opportunities are mere than ample today for the simple reason that many consumers are dissatisfied. Dawson's business started from his being a customer not liking what he bought. I suspect that your business will begin that way too. You know what you want to replace, improve or change. So begin where the tool breaks, the service slips or the shoe pinches.

A.they were too soft to bear the climber's weight
B.they were the only pitons he could afford to buy
C.they coul not last long
D.they were made of iron
D.When did people first begin to use stamps? Who was the first to think of this idea?
In the early nineteenth century, people did not use stamps. They had to pay postage when they received letters. Sometimes they didn’t want to receive a letter at all, but they had to pay money for it. They were unhappy about this. The postage was high at that time, because the post offices had to send many people to get the postage.
Rowland Hill was a schoolteacher in Englan
D.He was the first to think of using stamps in the 1850s. He thought it would be much easier for people to use stamps. They could go to the post office to buy stamps and put them on envelopes before they sent the letters. The post office could just put seals on the stamps so that people could not use the stamps again. In this way, the post office did not need to send postmen to get postage. It only needed fewer postmen to send letters.

Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
