[00:12.61]What was Frank's first job?
[00:18.14]Yesterday afternoon
[00:20.46]Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man.
[00:27.36]Before he retired, 
[00:29.71]Frank was the head of a very large business company, 
[00:34.22]but as a boy he used to work in a small shop.
[00:39.29]It was his job to repair bicycles
[00:42.67] and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day.
[00:49.08]He saved money for years 
[00:51.71]and in 1958 he bought a small workshop of his own.
[00:58.59]In his twenties Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes.
[01:05.30]At that time he had two helpers.
[01:09.43]In a few years the small workshop had become a large factory 
[01:14.67]which employed seven hundred and twenty-eight people.
[01:19.59]Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years 
[01:23.78]and the long road to success.
[01:26.83]He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in.
[01:32.11]She wanted him to repair their grandson's bicycle!
