Success story 1: founder of KFC
He was born in an ordinary peasant family in Indiana, USA. At the age of 6, my father died unfortunately, leaving my mother and their brother and sister. In order to make a living, mothers go out early and return late, 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.
/kloc-at the age of 0/2, his mother couldn't bear the burden of life and took them to remarry. But his relationship with his stepfather is not very harmonious, and he often feels at someone else's house. In order not to look at his stepfather's face, he is determined to stand on his own feet and change his destiny 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 on the farm for several years. During this period, he also grew from a child to an adult. When he grew up, he gradually realized that there was no future in doing farm work, and dark work could only solve his own food and clothing problem, but could not change his fate at all.
In order to find a better job for himself, he gave up his job on the farm and became a painter. After working for several years, he found that painters were 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 a lot of jobs, selling insurance, being a soldier and doing what a sheriff can do. He tried one by one, but he still couldn't find a job that suited 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 back down, 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. Business at the gas station is not bad, with many customers every day. He was genuinely happy and saw hope in his eyes.
When he opened a gas station, whenever he saw a hungry driver who had traveled long distances, he felt sorry for them and often invited them to have dinner together. The drivers praised his food, especially his fried chicken, which was very delicious. This made him suddenly have an idea, why not prepare some convenient food to meet the needs of these drivers? Besides, my cooking is not bad.
Just do it. He sells fried chicken next to his gas station. At first, people just bought one or two when they came to refuel. Later, they found that the fried chicken here had a unique taste, so they introduced relatives and friends to buy it. It didn't take long for his fried chicken to catch fire, and his business was unexpectedly good, earning more than the gas station. Really? If you plant flowers with your heart, you can't bloom. His fried chicken soon spread all over Kentucky, so people came to his gas station one after another, and some even came to taste his fried chicken specially instead of refueling.
Due to the sharp increase in customers, the venue of gas stations is even more overwhelmed. He had to buy a piece of land across the street and invest in a fast food restaurant that could accommodate more than 150 people. Of course, the main food is fried chicken. However, his business is not smooth. First, the government demolished his fast food restaurant to build roads. Then, forced by life, he sold the patent of fried chicken to others; Later, because of trademark infringement, I 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 Harlan? Sandoz is the founder of KFC. Today, his fried chicken is popular all over the world, with more than 15000 chain stores around the world.
It turns out that God's procrastination is not a refusal. As long as you set a goal and go forward bravely, you will step into the hall of success sooner or later.

Tennis in China? International na? The teenager became famous but suddenly retired.
Li Na was born in an ordinary citizen family in Wuhan 29 years ago. Because my father was young? Badminton player complex? Li Na started badminton training at the age of 5, and then she became attached to tennis by chance. With extraordinary talent and efforts, Li Na entered the national team at the age of 15.
In 2000, Li Na, who was only 18 years old, won the year-end ranking of 134 in WTA (International Women's Professional Tennis League) and became a new star of the national tennis team. 200 1 The 9th National Games won three championships in women's singles, women's doubles and women's team, and three gold medals in women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles in Universiade. However, while the outside world firmly believed that Li Na had a bright future and won an international position for tennis in China, before the Asian Games in Busan, South Korea at the end of 2002, she made a shocking decision to announce her retirement and go to Wuhan Huazhong University of Science and Technology to study with her boyfriend Jison, who is also a tennis player.
At that time, in Busan, South Korea, a coach said: Is this Hubei girl crazy? She said it was irresponsible to give up when she gave up! ? However, a friend who knows Li Na said with emotion. Li Na is such a person, too personal. Dare to think and do, dare to say and dare to do! ? As for the reason for that retirement, some people speculate that it was because? Thorn head? Li Na was in conflict with the national team; Some people speculate that it is because of Jison? Puppy love? Against the national team, Li Na retired in order to stick to her love. For whatever reason, with Li Na's character, she would rather not fight than just fight Nuo Nuo.

? Flying solo? Achievement? International na?
Li Na has been promoted to domestic tennis after her comeback? A sister? But she has always been dissatisfied with the rigid system of the national team training competition. In addition, the current situation of domestic tennis matches also disappointed her. Tennis, an international professional competition, has become? Stuck at home and trained abroad? . Therefore, despite her good grades and rankings, Li Na is increasingly eager to participate in international competitions freely and professionally, especially in the four major tennis events with Grand Slam as the honor.
Finally, with the reform plan of the national team, Li Na was able to? Flying solo? Ask a coach to organize your own team. Self-financing? Wandering on the international stage, thus opening your own internationalization path. Li Na's achievements since then prove that this road is on the right track.
After solo flight, the most important thing for Li Na is team organization and construction. The famous Swedish coach Thomas joined Li Na's team as a foreign teacher. Li Na's original weak serve technique, with Thomas's key training, has advanced by leaps and bounds, enough to stand out from many world superstars. Thomas is still active? Instigate? Li Na is going to be a professional and become her? Flying solo? After the guide.
In order to avoid unnecessary injuries in the competition, Li Na also invited Alex, a German, as a physical fitness coach. Since having him, Li Na's previous leg injury rarely went wrong in the competition.
However, in this behind-the-scenes team, the most important thing is Li Na's husband and coach Jison. Because of the long-term cooperation in life and on the court, understanding and tacit understanding make them cooperate particularly smoothly. Li Na said:? Many people think I think differently, but Jison always knows what I'm thinking. We are interlinked, which is the greatest advantage. ?
Li Na and Jison, both on the Hubei Tennis Team, knew each other as early as 1995, when Li Na was only 13 years old, and Jison was already the main force of the National Youth Tennis Team. At that time, Li Na regarded Jison, who had extraordinary talk, as an idol and pursued her, and then they succeeded? Puppy love? Yes After solo flight in 2008, Jison became Li Na's personal trainer.

Only when he is by my side can I give full play to my level? . Li Na said that Jison's greatest help to herself was to keep her mind at peace. Now, Li Na is playing at home and abroad, but Jison is almost there? Accompany the whole process? . On the court, whenever there is a problem, Li Na will habitually look to Jison.
Although Li Na, who has a bad temper, often barks at Jison unabashedly, deep down, Li Na is grateful to Jison. ? Whether you are fat or thin, handsome or ugly, I will always follow you and love you forever. ? This is Li Na's true confession after this year's Australian Open final, which touched countless people through TV broadcast.

201165438+1On October 29th, Li Na won the second place in the Australian Open, becoming the first Asian to reach the finals of the four major tennis events, and successfully helped the China Legion to reach the commanding heights of Asian tennis. So Li Na has a new nickname? International na? And become another athlete in China after Yao Ming and Liu Xiang? National image? .
One? Atypical? China Star.
? She is not a typical China woman. ? Some media once commented on Li Na. Li Na is obviously not a China star in the eyes of western media, not only because of the roses tattooed on her chest, but also because of her straightforward temper and unusual sense of humor.
In the era when sports in China generally lacked individuality, Li Na took maverick as her label early. Even when Li Na was a child, this? Personality? It's already starting to appear. Because Li Na's parents are surnamed Li, a neighbor deliberately teased her: Do you want to take your father's surname or your mother's surname? The young Li Na replied:? They all have my last name. ?
People who are familiar with Li Na know more or less several rebellious stories of Li Na. In China tennis, Li Na was the first player to publicly criticize the national system. At a press conference in 2005, Li Na pointed the finger at the national team. I didn't make any progress in the national team, and the coach of the national team didn't help me. ? When this statement came out, public opinion was in an uproar.
Li Na also wore some heavy earrings in the competition, which made the coach very angry. Li Na is proud of her rebellious and flamboyant personality. She feels that this is her true nature and there is no need to hide it.
On the court, Li Na is the first or even the only domestic player with a tattoo. ? I got this rose tattoo when I was a teenager. ? Speaking of roses on her chest, Li Na is very proud. That year, Li Na just started playing mixed doubles with Jison, who is four years older than her. She showed her love to Jison through tattoos.

Li Na did more than that. During the game, she would yell at Jison and China fans who tried to cheer for her? Shut up? ; During the interview, the press conference was embarrassed to ask:? 20 1 1 What do you want? I want money. ? Q:? Can this be written into the article? Li Na opened her eyes wide and answered:? Who doesn't want money? It's a fact! ?
Li Na outside the stadium also has a soft side, and she will do charity work silently. Last year, she sent nearly one million yuan to Yushu in Qinghai and Wuhan Orphanage.
What really attracts the attention of the world media is Li Na's straightforward and humorous personality, especially when she speaks English. In the third round of the Australian Open, she admitted frankly in front of tens of thousands of spectators that the driving force of her play was the credit card in her husband's pocket. After winning the semi-final, when asked? Are you nervous in the face of this situation? At that time, Li Na joked about her old propaganda. I didn't sleep well last night. My husband always snores when he sleeps. I wake up about once an hour. ? Accompanied by my husband's snoring, I gently brought tears of excitement. I believe that everyone will be easily relieved by Sister Na at this moment? Spike. .
