As a business student, I always want to apply theories into practice and try to find the business opportunities in our daily life. I found that it is a burden for graduates to deal with their unwanted stuff. So I offered to help them organize, and collected used books that they want to throw away in the process, then classified these books according to the types and degree of old and new, sold second-hand books at a low price to freshmen when they entered university in the beginning of the next semester. In this way, not only senior students cost less time to deal with waste, but also freshmen could get their text books conveniently in a cheap price.

However, now I know that there are many things to consider before starting any business. In fact, there are many strategies that an entrepreneur could follow to achieve success, such as know your customers, work “on” the business, and how
