12. Success stories during Recession SUCCESS STORY – 1 A success during the Great Depression is the motion picture industry . People were so distressed and fearful about their economic condition they needed emotional relief and a means to escape. The movies provided that relief, no matter how brief and temporary. The movie industry identified the need and opportunity and filled it at a price people were able to pay. Opportunity always exists; it may be harder to recognize in tough times because it takes a different form. The movies of the Great Depression normally had common themes. Most of them provided an escape for viewers. These movies, such as The Wizard of Oz (1939), Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), and Gone with the Wind (1939), allowed people to think about faraway places instead of household chores

13. Success stories during Recession SUCCESS STORY – 2 In 1927, a young married couple started a hot dog and root beer stand called ‘The Hot Shoppe’. They had many years of success but they saw greater opportunity along the new highways being built across America. They opened a motor lodge for travellers to sleep overnight. That venture helped J. Willard and Alice Marriott build one of the greatest hotel chains in the United States. In 2007, ‘ The Marriott Corporation ’ was handling over 50,000 reservations a day! Sometimes taking new roads leads you in a completely different direction than you had originally intended, with favourable consequences.
