He was satisfied with it, and drove to work in it the very next day. He was even more satisfied with his new car, when he saw all the other Beta 400s, in front, behind, and on both sides of him.He likes the feeling of being the same.Mr Perkin parked(停车) his car in a big car-park(停车场) near his office, and walked the rest of the way.

He tried his key in some of the cars, but people passing by gave him a look he didn't like. So he stopped. Time went by.Poor Mr Perkin had to wait nearly two hours until his was the only yellow.Beta 400s in the car-park. After he got back home, he felt frustrated and thought to himself that maybe being different is not so bad.

    I-Shou Lin（林义守） is a very successful businessman. When he was a child, he had no opportunity to get a formal education, but didn't let that hold him back. By the age of ten, he had begun a few small businesses. In 1988, Lin started a steel factory in Taiwan where he was born, and then developed it well. 11 years later, the production doubled.

    During this time, his mom reminded him of the importance of education. Because he had made some money, she felt he had a social responsibility to help in this field. Then Lin realized that few students studied electrical machinery. So he started Kaohsiung Polytechnic Institute （KPI）, which was later upgraded to I-Shou University.

    When asked about education, Lin replied that the next generation needed to be educated from an international point of view. And in 2004, I-Shou International School was set up.

    After suffering a serious illness, Lin realized that life is priceless. He looked for more ways to improve people's lives. As a result, he established a world-class hospital with the latest equipment and best-trained staff. I-Shou university's medical school combines education and medicine to educate students to serve those in need.
