- Li Ka-shing: Do not succumb to the arrangement of fate =========================================================
Everyone must have heard of Li Ka-shing, the richest man in Hong Kong today, but Li Ka-shing was born in a poor family in Chaozhou, Guangdong.
When Li Ka-shing was 11 years old, due to the war, Li Ka-shing went with his parents to take refuge in his uncle's house in Hong Kong, but not long after, Li Ka-shing's father died in a hurry due to lung disease.
As soon as my father left, there was no pillar in the family, which was a fatal blow to a family. In the face of fate's tricks, Li Ka-shing did not succumb to fate's arrangement. As the eldest son in the family, he alone provoked the mainstay of the family and chose to drop out of school to work.
At the beginning, Li Ka-shing came to his uncle's watch shop to do errands, and learned to watch words and actions and act by chance. Two years later, he chose to quit his job in a watch shop and came to a hardware and plastic belt manufacturing factory as a salesman. Due to his excellent performance, it took Li Ka-shing two years to be promoted to the general manager of the company.
This sales job has accumulated a large number of contacts for him and laid the foundation for his later career.
In 1950, 22-year-old Li Ka-shing established his first factory "Changjiang Plastic Factory" with the accumulation of several years of wealth. Later, until 1964, Li Ka-shing made a considerable profit by producing plastic flowers, and also won the reputation of "the king of plastic flowers".
Since then, Li Ka-shing has become the richest man in Hong Kong by relying on plastic toys, real estate and other industries.
In the face of a poor birth, if Li Ka-shing chooses to live by and surrender, he will never have the achievements he has today.
Everyone's destiny is in their own hands. People who accomplish nothing are willing to be puppets at the mercy of fate, but the strong are different. They know how to control their own destiny, and then achieve themselves in the game with destiny.
- Harlan Sanders, founder of KFC: choose to regroup after failure ==================================================================
Nowadays, the brand of KFC is well known to most people, and the kind old grandfather on its trademark is also very popular, but few people know the story behind this old grandfather.
Harlan Sanders was born into an ordinary family, but his cooking skills are still good.
Sandoz had many jobs in his youth, salesman, fireman, plasterer, etc., but his career didn't improve much.
At the age of 40, Sandoz opened a gas station in Kentucky, USA. Later, when Sandoz saw that most of the drivers who had traveled long distances came to the gas station, most of them were hungry. On a whim, started cooking some convenience foods in the gas station kitchen to entertain these drivers.
At this time, Sandoz made fried chicken, which was also the beginning of KFC.
Soon, the number of people at the gas station began to increase, but many people did not come to refuel, but to eat fried chicken. The reputation of fried chicken instantly overshadowed the gas station.
Later, because the fried chicken business was so hot, Sandoz opened a Sandoz restaurant opposite the gas station. The business in the restaurant was often full. Even during the Great Depression in the United States, Sandoz Restaurant It wasn't affected at all.
However, life is often full of surprises. Due to the outbreak of World War II, Sandoz's business was suddenly affected. This sudden change brought a serious blow to Sandoz's business.
Later, in order to repay the debt, Sandoz began to sell assets, and Sandoz changed from a rich man to a poor man overnight.
At this time, Sanders was 66 years old, but Sanders, who was living in embarrassment, did not give up because of this, he chose to regroup.
So he chose to come from Kentucky to Ohio to sell his fried chicken recipe and sell the franchise to others, but the results were not satisfactory, many people did not believe him, and the sales of Sandoz became very difficult. . But he did not give up, and still chose to continue selling. Finally, after he traveled to every corner of the United States in two years and was rejected 1,009 times, his electronics were finally accepted by others.
Later, more and more people found Sandoz to work with, and his ideas were accepted by more and more people. With the continuous development, KFC has become a KFC chain fast food restaurant all over the world.
A 66-year-old man, after failure, chooses to revive himself. As middle-aged or young people, what reason do we have to choose to fail after failure?
If you choose to give up after failure, you will eventually achieve nothing. Only after failure can you stand out.
