1. Henry Sy - ShoeMart
There is no such thing as overnight success or easy money. If you fail, do not be discouraged;
try again. When you do well, do not change your ways. Success is not just good luck: it is a
combination of hard work, good credit standing, opportunity, readiness and timing. Success will
not last if you do not take care of it."- Henry Sy, Sr.
Sh ZhChng, (Henrys Chinese name), was born on December 25, 1923, to an impoverished
family in Jinjiang, a town near Xiamen, China. The entire family left China for good in 1936, so
they could be with their family patriarch who was then a proprietor of a thriving variety store in
Manila. Henry remembers having to clear the stores counter, which served as his sleeping
place, after helping his father run the store for 12 hours.
