Philip Knight was born in 1938 in Portland, USA. His father worked as a lawyer and later owned a newspaper. Philip asked his father to give him a job at <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">during the summer at the newspaper, where he discovered that he loved running and wanted to work in the sports department. But his father refused to help him and insisted that he <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">find a job on his own at another competing newspaper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">2. At the University of Oregon, Philip began training as a runner under an experienced coach named Bill Bowerman. At the time, the well-known running shoes <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">used in races were made by an American company, but they were very poor quality. This continued until German companies began <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">manufacturing athletic shoes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">3. Coach Bill Bowerman was convinced that better-quality shoes could be made, and began making them by hand. Philip was<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\"> \u062d\u064a\u0646\u0647\u0627 \u0647\u0648 \u0641\u0623\u0631\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">While testing these new shoes, Philip graduated from college without a clear vision for his future, so he enlisted in the U.S. Army for <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">\u0639\u0627\u0645 \u0643\u0627\u0645\u0644\u060c \u062b\u0645 <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">He earned an MBA, and his small business professor asked him to research how to create a marketing plan for <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">\u0645\u0646\u062a\u062c \u062c\u062f\u064a\u062f\u060c \u0648\u0628\u0639\u062f\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">a great deal of hard work and careful thought, Philip came up with the idea: \u201cCan Japanese athletic shoes do to German athletic shoes what <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">Japanese cameras did to <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">German cameras?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">4. He began putting his idea into action. He traveled to Japan to buy Japanese shoes, which were known for their quality and low prices, and became an agent for a factory that made knockoffs of a popular brand at the time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">\u0645\u0627\u0631\u0643\u0629 <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">He obtained a sample to market in America and immediately contacted Bill Bowerman, the coach, to pitch the idea. Bowerman was enthusiastic and decided <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">\u0645\u0634\u0627\u0631\u0643\u062a\u0647 <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">to invest $500 in another shipment of Japanese shoes. He began setting up his own company and marketing the shoes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">5. Philip carried the shoes in his car and parked near the running tracks at high schools, selling the athletic shoes to the students.

But the Japanese company offered to buy 51% of his company\u2019s shares and threatened that, if he refused, it would sell its products to his competitors in America. His response was <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">Philip said, \u201cGo to hell.\u201d He then decided to borrow money and start manufacturing athletic shoes himself with his team\u2014and they did. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">They produced their first shoe, called the \u201cCortez.\u201d Philip later suggested the name NIKE, and the company began competing in global markets and went public on the <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">\u0627\u0644\u0628\u0648\u0631\u0635\u0629 .<\/span><\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">7. Philip faced many challenges on his path to success. His first shipment of shoes was delayed by a full 14 months, and he was once involved in a serious accident while driving <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">\u0633\u064a\u0627\u0631\u062a\u0647\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">his own car and selling shoes to runners.
