"Our goal is to become a leader in the Internet and mobile advertising industries," ouvince said. "I don't know where I will be in ten years, but before Branchr's market value reaches 0.1 billion ($0.15 billion), I will not leave."

 

Method

Owen said he liked photography and playing the guitar. "My friends and I won't talk about my success. For them, I am just an ordinary child, and success has not changed anything between us ".

 

Ouvince believes that there is no shortcut to success, and "effort, determination, and motivation" is essential. After reading the story of ouvince, many people leave messages on the Daily Mail website.

Thomas, a Bristol user, said: "It's beautiful. I think his parents taught him the value of diligence. My husband and I have medium incomes and have three children.
