However, the shepherd said firmly, "I can't fly because I am old. You are still young. As long as you keep working hard, you will be able to fly in the future and go where you want to go."

Story 5: Harland Sanders

He was born in an ordinary farmer's family in Indiana, USA. At the age of 6, his father died unfortunately, leaving his mother and their brother and sister. In order to make a living, mothers go out early and come back late, and work everywhere, and basically have no time to take care of them. As the eldest son, he is very sensible and takes the initiative to take care of his younger brothers and sisters.

When he was p>12 years old, his mother couldn't bear the burden of life and took them to remarry. However, his relationship with his stepfather was not very harmonious, and he often felt that he was under someone else's roof. In order not to look at his stepfather's face, he is determined to stand on his own feet and change his fate with his hardworking hands, so that his younger brothers and sisters can live a happy life. So, he dropped out of school before he graduated from primary school and found a part-time job on a farm. Although the work on the farm is very hard, the feeling of self-reliance still makes him very gratified.

with a bright future, he worked tirelessly and worked on the farm for several years. In the meantime, he also grew from a child to an adult. When he grew up, he gradually realized that there was no future for farm work, and that dark work could only solve his own food and clothing problem and could not change his destiny at all.

In order to find a job that suits him better, he resolutely gave up his job on the farm and became a painter. After working for several years, he found that the painter was not suitable for him either. Then, he became a fireman again, but he still felt that his future was bleak. Since then, he has changed many jobs, such as selling insurance, being a soldier and being a sheriff ... He has tried all the jobs he can do, but he still hasn't found a job that suits him. In a blink of an eye, he has entered the age of no doubt. Looking back on these forty years, he was horrified to find that he had accomplished nothing. During that time, he hesitated to the extreme and kept asking himself, what am I suitable for? How can I succeed in my career?

However, the hardships of life did not make him flinch, but strengthened his determination. After a short period of pain, he continued to look for his own sky. Soon, he opened a gas station in KFC. The business of the gas station was not bad, and there were many guests every day. He was sincerely happy and saw hope in his eyes.

When he opened a gas station, whenever he saw those drivers who were hungry after a long journey, he felt pity and often invited them to have dinner together. The drivers praised his delicious food, especially his fried chicken, which was very delicious. This suddenly gave him an idea, why not prepare some convenient food to meet the needs of these drivers? Besides, my cooking skills are not bad.

As soon as he started, he sold fried chicken beside his gas station. At first, people just bought one or two when they came to refuel, but then they found that the fried chicken here had a very unique taste and introduced their relatives and friends to buy it. Not long after, his fried chicken became popular, his business was unexpectedly good, and his income exceeded that of the gas station. It's true that "it's intentional to plant flowers, but it's unintentional to plant willows in the shade". His fried chicken soon spread all over KFC, so people came to his gas station one after another, and some even made a special trip to taste his fried chicken not to refuel.

Due to the sharp increase in customers, the site of the gas station is even more difficult to accommodate, so he has to buy a piece of land across the street and invest in building a fast food restaurant that can accommodate more than 15 people. Of course, the main food is fried chicken. However, his business is not going well. First, in order to build roads, he tore down his fast food restaurant. Then, forced by life, he sold the patent of fried chicken to others; Later, because of trademark infringement, he fought a lawsuit with others; It was not until he was 88 years old that he really had his own career. This ill-fated man is called Harland Sanders, the founder of KFC. Today, his fried chicken is popular all over the world, with more than 15, chain stores in the world.

It turns out that God's delay is not a refusal. As long as you set a goal and go on bravely, you will step into the palace of success sooner or later.
