John H. Johnson was born in a family in Arkansas City in 1918 . His father died in an accident when John was six . He was reaching high school age , but his hometown offered no high schools for the blacks .
Fortunately he has a strong-willed and caring mother . John remembers that his mother told him many times , “ Son , you can be anything you really want to be if you just believe . ” She told him not to be dependent on others , including his mother . “ You have to earn success ” , said she , “ all the people who work hard don’t succeed , but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard . ”
These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education . She also knew that believing and working hard don’t mean everything . So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son to Chicago .
Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for . John’s mother could not find work . But here John could go to school , and here learned the power of words—as an editor of a newspaper . His wish was to publish a magazine for the blacks .
While others discouraged him , John’s mother offered him more words to live by : “ Nothing beats a failure but a try . ” She also let him sell her furniture to get the 500 dollars he needed to start the Negro magazine .
It’s natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful . He always keeps his mother’s words in mind . “ Son , failure is not in your dictionary . ” Now John H. Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America—worth 150 million dollars .
