Amjad Shaarkas, a young Jordanian entrepreneur who lost his business in media advertisement and information technology, recently embarked on recycling electronic waste and shared his spirit of persistence amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Shaarkas published his autobiography in late 2019 titled "The Story of a Business Kid," in which he tells how he pursued his business dream starting from the age of seven by selling toys and chewing gum to save money. Shaarkas surprisedly found that his book inspired people to face challenging moments, especially during the COVID-19 crisis. The book was also nominated for a recent regional award.
