The 1,001st sales pitch

Anyone who has ever been to a KFC store will have seen a statue of an old foreigner, dressed in a white suit, with a kindly look, which he said was Colonel Sanders. He is the founder of the world's largest fast-food fried chicken chain, a man who started his business at the age of 65!

Colonel Sanders retired from the military without a penny to his name, and got his first handout of only $105. He asked himself: what resources do I really have left to utilize? What can I contribute to people? As he pondered, he suddenly remembered a secret recipe for fried chicken that everyone loved. Why don't I sell this recipe to some restaurant and teach them how to make it?

For the next two years, Sanders drove around the United States in his vintage car, wearing a ridiculous white suit, selling his recipe to everyone.

He was rejected 1009 times, and it was not until the 1010th time that he heard the first "yes". Years later, KFC became the largest fried chicken chain in the world.

Ancient and modern to become a great cause, the university, must go through three kinds of realm: "last night the west wind wilted blue trees, alone on the high building, looking at the end of the road", the first realm also; "the belt gradually widen the end do not regret for Yi consume the people emaciated! This is the first realm; "I have no regrets when my belt is loosened, and I have to pine away for my wife", this is the second realm; "I have searched for him for a thousand times, but when I suddenly look back, he is at the end of the lights", this is the third realm too. Mr. Wang Guowei, when elaborating on the word perseverance, also practiced with actions.

Whether you are doing something big or something small, you have to have the will to persevere and the spirit to be brave and go straight ahead, don't waver and don't look over your shoulder.

I often ask myself: what is meant by perseverance, for whom to persevere, and what can perseverance bring me? After reading Mr. Wang Guowei's book, it occurred to me that there are three classic Buddhist sentences to summarize: look at the mountain is a mountain, look at the water is water; look at the mountain is not a mountain, look at the water is not water; look at the mountain is still a mountain, look at the water is still water.

The first stage of the "last night, the west wind withered blue trees, alone on the west tower, looking at the end of the road" in the young, we are willing to struggle to adhere to the dream, even if some people feel that you are silly, and even think you are crazy, at that time, you will be very lonely, no one can go to understand you, why you want to do this unusual choice, or such a path full of unknowns and may even be forever, so that you will not be able to understand, and you will not be able to understand. No one can understand why you want to make such an unusual choice, or such a path that is full of unknowns and may never be successful. But please don't give up, because you see the road to your dream, even if you kneel down, you have to finish it. Buddha's first sentence, see the mountain is a mountain, see the water is water, you must not change anything because of other people's ideas or vision, you see, go forward, this is persistence.

The second stage: "the belt is widening and not regretting, for Yi to consume the people to be haggard". As you walk toward your dream, it's not the thorns that are scary, it's the people's words. This will make your own choices falter, and stagnate halfway, once you stop, many of your time has been consumed, and you are still wandering, this dream is likely to be halfway, impossible to succeed. This corresponds to the second sentence of the Buddha: "Look at the mountain is not the mountain, look at the water is not the water" you choose, and then go to action, but found that the road is tougher than imagined, and even produce the idea of retreat and avoidance, at this time you are bewildered, you are attracted by the scenery on the road, in fact, the landscape on top of the mountain will be better, and in you on the side of the road to derive the inertia, on their own to generate The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal on the roadside.

The third stage; "the crowd is looking for him a thousand degrees, suddenly look back, that person is in the lights," which is the final meaning of perseverance, your choice did not change, did not stop halfway up the mountain, and was not mesmerized by the flowers and greenery, and did not have doubts. You are still determined to go forward, you are getting closer and closer to success, when you have reached the top of the mountain, you see the infinitely beautiful scenery of the valley, the more precious and beautiful the dream becomes. This is the last sentence of the Buddha: look at the mountain is always the mountain, look at the water is always the water; the essence is still unchanged, the dream has not changed, adhere to is a valuable quality, in life glittering.

My friend talked to me about what is called persistence, and I used a fact to tell him what is called persistence.　　I remember my freshman year, the student union recruitment, and I was successful. But a year since

are doing odd jobs, no actual learning things, see the Department of less and less people, but I also often say to myself: you have to insist, just more than others to insist on a second, maybe you'll be successful. Finally in my sophomore year I became a minister, not because I am more capable than others, but just I insisted on one second more than others.

So since we have chosen, no matter wrong or right, we must go on. This will give you more good memories and unlimited scenery
