第112期:永不言棄 KFC的故事
今天我們分享的是KFC的故事。
Once, there was an older man, who was broke, living in a tiny house and owned a beat up car. He was living off of $99 social security checks. At 65 years of age, he decided things had to change. So he thought about what he had to offer. His friends raved about his chicken recipe. He decided that this was his best shot at making a change.
He left Kentucky and traveled to different states to try to sell his recipe. He told restaurant owners that he had a mouthwatering chicken recipe. He offered the recipe to them for free, just asking for a small percentage on the items sold. Sounds like a good deal, right?
Unfortunately, not to most of the restaurants. He heard NO over 1000 times. Even after all of those rejections, he didn't give up. He believed his chicken recipe was something special. He got rejected 1009 times before he heard his first yes.
With that one success Colonel Hartland Sanders changed the way Americans eat chicken. Kentucky Fried Chicken, popularly known as KFC, was born.
Remember, never give up and always believe in yourself in spite of rejection.
從前，有一個上了年紀的人，他身無分文，住在一所小房子裏，有一輛破舊的汽車。他靠99美元的社保支票過活。在65歲時，他決定改變。所以他想到了他所能做的。他的朋友們盛讚他的炸雞配方。他認爲這是他做出改變的最佳時機。
他離開肯塔基，到不同的州去推銷他的配方。他告訴餐館老闆，他有一個令人垂涎的雞肉配方。他免費提供配方給他們，只要求在所出售的雞肉拿到很少的分成。聽起來不錯，對吧？
不幸的是，不是大多數餐館，而是他聽到超過1000次的“不”。即使遭到多次拒絕，他沒有放棄。他相信他的雞肉配方是很特別的。在他被拒絕了1009次才聽到他的第一個“是”。
這一成功，Hartland Sanders上校改變了美國人吃雞的方式。肯塔基炸雞，俗稱肯德基，誕生了。
記住，即使被拒絕，永遠相信自己，不要放棄。
