1009次拒绝——英文小故事

拒绝并不可怕,可怕的是无数次被拒绝后,仍然相信自己,直到机会真的出现。这样的人只能用无敌来形容了。

——今晚读下面关于KFC小故事有感。

《1009 Rejections》

Once, there was an old 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 that 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.
