She wasn’t supposed to win.
That’s why she did.

Ruth Fertel was a single mother.
Two kids.
A lab job going nowhere.

Then she made a decision.

She borrowed $22,000.
Mortgaged her home.
Bought a failing restaurant nobody wanted.

That’s the pivot.

Ruth's Chris Steak House didn’t start as a vision.

It started as a risk most people avoid.

Opening night?

Burned steaks.
Complaints.
Doubt.

She didn’t hire experts.
She became one.

Worked every station.
18-hour days.
Refined the product herself.

Then disaster hit.

A fire forced relocation.

She lost the rights to the original name.

Most brands die there.

She didn’t.

She rebuilt it as Ruth’s Chris.

Here’s the mechanism.

Consistency creates premium.

The sizzling butter technique.
Standardized experience.
High-end positioning.

That allowed pricing power.

Then came scale.

Franchising.

Same system.
Different locations.
Revenue multiplied without direct ownership of every store.

That’s leverage.

From one failing steakhouse…
to 100+ locations worldwide.

Over $500 million in value.

Because she didn’t just fix a restaurant.

She built a system that could be replicated…

and charged more for doing it better every single time.

A man with 5 university degrees shocked many people after choosing to leave behind a prestigious career and live on the streets. Zhao Dian, 32, studied at top institutions across the world and earned multiple degrees, but said the pressure and loneliness he experienced made him rethink what happiness really means. After returning to China, he found peace in simple work and later decided to live with very few possessions, spending only about 100 yuan a month. His story has sparked debate, but it also raises an important question about what truly makes life meaningful.

Sources!?!?

China just overhauled its entire university system, cutting more than twelve thousand degree programs in five years 😮 Between 2021 and 2025, the country revoked or suspended over 12,200 undergraduate courses while launching around 10,200 new ones, according to the Ministry of Education. That means more than 30 percent of all degree programs nationwide were reshuffled almost overnight. Arts, humanities, foreign languages, and management took the biggest hit, while new majors in artificial intelligence, robotics, and advanced manufacturing took their place.

The shift comes as China faces graduate unemployment above 16 percent and a job market being transformed fast by AI 🤖 Universities are now adding programs like embodied intelligence to prepare students for careers that barely existed a decade ago. For millions of students choosing a major today, this means the subject they love might not guarantee a job tomorrow 💭 Education systems everywhere may soon face the same question.
