All the property owned by Colonel Sanders after his retirement is just a small restaurant near the highway. Although the hotel is small, it is quite distinctive and unique. But the most popular and favorite dish for the guests is the crispy and delicious fried chicken he invented and cooked, which brought him considerable wealth. For years, his guests have been praising his fried chicken. But what he never expected was that due to the diversion of the expressway, the hotel business suddenly plummeted and finally had to close down. In desperation, Colonel Sanders decided to sell his fried chicken recipe to other restaurants in exchange for a meager return.
In the process of sales promotion, no restaurant is willing to buy his recipes and laugh at him from time to time. It is not pleasant for a person to be laughed at at at any age, let alone at retirement age, and it is even more unacceptable. This is exactly what happened to Colonel Sanders. He was not only laughed at but also rejected one after another, which shows how much these experiences have influenced him. But he never gave up. Before finding a buyer, he drove all over the country, eating and living in the car. After being rejected 1009 times, someone finally agreed to adopt his idea and buy his formula. Since then, his chain stores have spread all over the world; It is also recorded in the history of business. This is the origin of KFC.
In memory of Colonel Sanders, people set up his statue in front of all KFC stores as the image brand of KFC. As the saying goes:? Sharpshooter shot, shot! ? Lack of perseverance or thinking that you can't get what you want is the key reason that prevents most people from being brave enough to change. If you can stick to your goals and persevere, you will soon surpass most people. Remember, you control your life. If you are determined to achieve a goal, there will be a way to succeed.
Example 2 of success after failure
Since the road of life is so tortuous and complicated, people should face it calmly.
Ma Yun, a angular, thin and strange face, has a wild and maverick style and a warm-hearted attitude of not asking for anything in return; With what? The light is on top? Name the company meeting room, get in close contact with Jin Yong, and gather Internet heroes? West Lake on Sword? . Ma Yun's words and deeds are quite like a hero in business circles.
The reason why Ma Yun is worshipped by countless grassroots entrepreneurs today is that Ma Yun was once an ordinary person like us. He failed in the college entrance examination and failed again. Imagine if Ma Yun followed his parents' advice, learned a trade and lived as a temporary worker after failing in the second college entrance examination. Then, will there be today's Ma Yun and today's Alibaba?
The first college entrance examination met with waterloo. Although Ma Yun's English is surprisingly good among his peers, his math is really poor, and he only got 1 point, and he was completely defeated. Later, I worked as a secretary and porter, and later I helped others deliver books on tricycles. Once, when he delivered a book to a cultural unit, he found a novel called Life. That is the masterpiece of the famous writer Lu Yao. Gao Jialin, the hero of the novel, a rural intellectual youth, has brought many insights to Ma Yun. Gao Jialin is a very talented young man. He has a persistent pursuit of ideals. However, in the process of pursuing his ideal, there is always a kind of resistance every step forward, which makes him unable to really display his talents and even has to face the situation of falling back to the original point.
From the story, Ma Yun deeply realized that although the road of life is very long, the key points are often only a few steps. On the road of life, there is no straight road and no fork in the road, which just confirms a sentence:? Nine times out of ten things will go wrong in life. ? Since the road of life is so tortuous and complicated, people should face it calmly. Therefore, Ma Yun made up his mind to take the second college entrance examination. That summer, Ma Yun enrolled in the college entrance examination re-reading class, riding a bicycle every day, wandering between his two-point and one-line home and the cram school.
I didn't expect to fail the college entrance examination for the second time. This time, Ma Yun scored 19 in the math test, which is different from the total separation admission line by 140. And this time, his parents, who had a glimmer of hope for Ma Yun to go to college, felt that he didn't need to take the exam again.
At that time, the TV series Volleyball Woman was popular all over the country, which was a household name. In that youthful but innocent era, Xiao Junzi's smile inspired a whole generation, including Ma Yun at that time. Not only because of her sweet smile, but also because of her indomitable spirit. This spirit has a far-reaching impact on Ma Yun in the future. Never give up? It has also become the spiritual symbol of Ma Yun, affecting everyone in Ali. Shunza's fighting spirit gave the horse great encouragement. Despite the strong opposition of his family, he resolutely began to prepare for the third college entrance examination. Unable to convince his family, Ma Yun had to go to work during the day and go to night school at night. On Sunday, in order to motivate myself to study hard, I got up an hour early and went to the library of Zhejiang University.
Just three days before the third college entrance examination, Mr. Yu, who had been disappointed with Ma Yun's math scores, said a word to Ma Yun. Ma Yun, your math is a mess. If you can pass the exam, what about mine? Yu? Write the words backwards. ?
On the morning of the math exam, Ma Yun had been reciting the basic math formula of 10. During the exam, Ma Yun used all the formulas of 10. After coming out of the examination room and checking the answers with his classmates, Ma Yun knew that he must have passed. As a result, Ma Yun scored 79 points in that math exam. After many hardships, Ma Yun was finally admitted to the university.
For Ma Yun, the three college entrance examinations in his life have already become the most precious spiritual wealth in his life journey.
Example 3 of success after failure
She can speak fluent English, has a driver's license and knows finance, not to mention using a computer. She was the first in the national housekeeping competition, and Liu Qi, then the mayor of Beijing, called her? Home economics star? . And her goal is to be a Chinese housekeeper.
This young nanny is a serious and responsible person.
1998 After failing in the college entrance examination, Zang Xiayan, a 20-year-old girl from Henan, was unable to repeat her studies because of her poor family. She was organized by the local women's Federation and went to Beijing to be a nanny. I didn't know anything at that time. I was very scared when I came to a big city for the first time. ?
The first employer is a family of five. The young couple are very concerned about the new Xia Yan, but their grandparents are very critical of her. One night, Zang Xiayan heard the child's grandmother and father arguing. It turned out that Zang Xiayan forgot to wash the bottle. The father of the child said, She just became a nanny, so let's not be too strict. ? Tibetan Xia Yan can't tell how grateful and ashamed she is. After everyone fell asleep, she quietly got up to wash the bottles.
Although Zang is strong, she has no experience in taking care of children. One day, a two-year-old child bumped into the corner of the cupboard and got a big bag on his forehead.
Seeing the children at night, mom and dad were very distressed, but they didn't say anything. They also told her that if grandparents asked, they would say that they tripped while taking care of the children. With gratitude and shame, she took care of the children more carefully. I must repay their tolerance with my love for children. ?
? The first three I met were all very good, which strengthened my confidence to go on. ? Yan said. What she cares about most is the children of the third family. Both husband and wife are in business, and they have a daughter, Jia Jia, who is 10 years old. Their request is quite special, that is, to spend more time with their children.
Zang Xiayan soon found that the child was a little different. Her grades are poor and she is often the last in the class. The children said she was stupid. In Zang Xia Yan's eyes, Jia Jia's hands-on ability is very strong, and housework is done quite quickly. Jaga is very nice. Call her affectionately? Sister Xiao Xia? , followed her like peas and carrots.
One day, Jia Jia's classmates came home out of curiosity to see what she said. Sister Xiao Xia? who is it? Tibetan Xia Yan had a good time, jumping rubber bands and playing games with them. During the break, she said to the children. Jia Jiake is doing just that. Doing housework is better than me. ? Since then, students have looked at Jia Jia with new eyes.
Tibetan Xia Yan also asked the children about the school situation in Jia Jia. It turns out that Jia Jia is very tall, so the teacher put her in the last row. It happened that Jia Jia loves to talk in class, and sometimes he ran to someone else's seat, which affected the class. Knowing that Jia Jia loves sports, Tibetan Xia Yan often reminds her and goes to school to communicate with teachers.
Sweden? Devil training? Practice skills
Because of her excellent work, Zang was hired as the manager of the training department of Beijing March 8th Service Center on 200 1, and said goodbye to the job of nanny for the time being. This job often makes her face disputes between waiters and employers. These contradictions also remind her that different employers have different needs. She began to read some books on home economics, hoping to improve her skills.
With the increase of experience, Zang also has the idea of long-term development. She set a goal for herself to become a domestic supervisor. After work, she shuttled between training classes.
One day, the company leader found her and said that a Swedish family was looking for a nanny. The requirement is to graduate from high school, be under 29 and have children. The company found many unsuitable people, so I asked Zang Xia Yan if she would like to try. Zang immediately agreed, and then successfully passed the interview. She packed her bags and boarded the plane to Sweden with excitement and a little fear.
? I looked up when I got off the plane, and the sky there was so blue. ? But the rest of life is not easy. This home is 3000 square meters. Both male and female hosts are excellent. They are presidents of big companies, and women often go to Harvard for further study. The hostess is a perfectionist, demanding of herself and others. She told Tibetan Xia Yan: the requirement for the floor is to wear white socks for one day, and the soles of socks will not be black; Clothes should be washed with water at 40℃ and semi-dry; Towels should be washed at 60℃ and completely dried. Zang Xiayan took a small notebook and pen with him and wrote down their requirements one by one.
The biggest headache is communication. The host speaks Swedish and the hostess speaks English. Fortunately, the hostess knows a little Chinese, and Tibetan Xia Yan relies on this Chinese-English dictionary to communicate with her.
With such a big house and two children, the work intensity of Zang Xiayan can be imagined. Employers not only require cleanliness at home, but also require work on time and in quantity. She works fifteen or sixteen hours a day, but she still can't finish the work. One day, after everyone slept, Zang Xiayan got up to iron clothes. When the host saw it, he immediately forced her to go to bed and turned off the light in the room for her. The next day, he told Zang Xiayan that efficiency should be emphasized in his work, and he should spend time thinking about how to do the most work in the shortest time.
This incident touched Zang Xia Yan very much. Later, I will try my best to do everything well, such as cleaning the floor. Yesterday, it took 14 minutes. Today, I will strive for 13 minutes, and finally it will only take 8 minutes. After half a year, I can finally keep up with their rhythm. ?
A year later, when her visa expired, Tibetan Xia Yan returned to China to wait for renewal. During this period, she went to New Oriental to learn new concepts Volume 1, 2 and 3. After returning to Sweden a year later, she can basically communicate with people in English.
Zang has worked in this family for three years, and her housekeeping skills have been continuously improved. Learned to wash the car, decorate the room, improve the sense of service, know how to maintain household items, such as gold and silver utensils, leather goods, and reduce consumption. ?
She said that she always remembered what the hostess often said: people's ability is flexible. If you are afraid of difficulties, they will defeat you. If you fight against difficulties, they will be scared away.
With this experience, Tibetan Xia Yan has been doing domestic service for families in some countries in South America and Africa since then.
Become the first Chinese housekeeper
In a study, the desk is full of books, newspapers, supermarket posters, letters and ashtrays. The door of the bookcase is open and the computer is not closed. Zang Xiayan's task is to clean the study within the specified time, and explain the work steps to the judges next to him while cleaning.
This was held in Daxing, Beijing? National domestic service style competition? Teams from 29 provinces and cities across the country participated in the competition. Zang and two companions represent the Beijing team. In the speeches of the previous teams, Zang took the stage to introduce the situation of the Beijing team. Her speech ended in an English passage and won warm applause from the scene.
? Open the window before entering the door. The last step after cleaning is to close the window and leave the room. Turn off the computer and unplug the power before cleaning the table. Books and magazines should be put into the bookcase in order, and supermarket posters should not be thrown away casually. They should be put aside until the employer decides not to throw them away. ? Zang Xiayan's movements and expressions are very skilled.
After cleaning up the living room, the judges told her to put away the down jacket thrown on the sofa. ? The down jacket should be wiped with a wet towel first, dried, folded and put into the wardrobe. ? Tibetan Xia Yan said, unbuttoning the wrong button on her dress on purpose and buttoning it again. She knows that these small details are divided and cannot be sloppy.
In the end, Zang got the only perfect score in this competition. Liu Qi personally presented the award to her and encouraged her to set up a housekeeping studio to drive other sisters to make progress together.
Now, Tibetan Xia Yan has set up a studio and volunteered to give lectures to other nannies. She teaches you how to clean radiators with a vacuum cleaner, how to fold clothes to make them easy to find, and how to build self-confidence and better communicate with employers. She hopes to teach these sisters years of experience, so that they can work more easily and love their work more.
Now, Zang's greatest wish is to realize his dream of being a domestic supervisor. Who is in charge of housekeeping? Butler? Responsible for guiding the work of other domestic workers in the employer's family. The market of housekeeping supervisor is still blank in China. Do I need to learn more and create more? Chinese housekeeper? This famous brand. ?
