Robert Herjavec
Robert Herjavec (born September 14, 1962) is a Croatian-born Canadian businessman, investor, author and television personality.
==Early life==
Herjavec was born in 1962 in Varaždin, Croatia (formerly Yugoslavia), and grew up in Zbjeg.〔Nenad Bach (15 January 2010).("Robert Herjavec Croatian-born Canadian entrepreneur, businessman and TV star" ). Croatian World Network〕 In 1970,〔 at the age of eight, the family left the country to escape Marshal Josip Broz Tito's communist regime, which had previously incarcerated Herjavec's father for speaking out against the regime.〔Mielach, David (26 February 2012). ("'Shark Tank' Judge Herjavec on Living the American Dream" ). ''Business News Daily''.〕〔Weigle, Lauren (March 24, 2015). ("Robert Herjavec Height & Age – ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Contestant" ). heavy.com.〕 Herjavec's family arrived in Halifax with a single suitcase
and only $20.〔Kopun, Francine (March 16, 2010). ("Robert Herjavec: The nice Dragon" ). ''Toronto Star''.〕 The family eventually settled in Toronto, where they lived in the basement of a family friend's home for 18 months.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Robert Herjavec Success Story - Rags to Riches )〕 For Herjavec, who spoke no English,〔("Alumni Portraits: Robert Herjavec" ). ''University of Toronto''. Retrieved May 9, 2015.〕 the transition proved difficult, who, having grown up on a farm and raised by his grandmother among neighbours in similar lifestyles, now found himself in a much poorer economic class than his neighbours.〔 Herjavec's father got a job in a Mississauga factory, making $76 a week.〔 Herjavec cites his father, whom he describes as "a really, really tough guy", as a major influence in his life. Herjavec has described a seminal memory of his, when he came home one day to complain to his mother that his classmates were making fun of him. His father who used to walk to work to save money on bus fare, came home, and when he heard what his son described, instructed his son "Never complain", which became a guiding principle in Herjavec's life, one which he says sparked his sense of perseverance.〔("Exceptional magazine: Americas edition, July 2013" ). Ernst & Young. July 2013. Retrieved May 9, 2015.〕 Another influential episode in his youth came when Herjavec's mother was persuaded by a travelling salesman to buy a vacuum cleaner for $500, which was seven weeks' salary. As a result, Herjavec swore his family would never be taken advantage of again.〔
In 1984, Herjavec graduated from New College at the University of Toronto, with a degree in English literature〔 and political science.〔 To make a living and help support his family, Herjavec took on a variety of minimum wage jobs in the 1990s, such as waiting tables, delivering newspapers,〔 retail salesman, and collection agent.〔
