An old man's KFC

I remember when I was in high school, a psychology teacher told me a story, so I still remember it. After I heard it, I felt some emotions after the horror. It was from that time that I gradually believed that the original world was really created by miracles, and those who created miracles were those seemingly insignificant ordinary people. .

In the United States in the last century, there was a young man. He was poor from a young family. His father died when he was six years old. He was brought up by his mother and was forced to drop out of school when he was twelve. However, because of his weak character and low academic qualifications, he can only do some physical work, and the money earned every day is barely enough to make a living.

When he was in his twenties, he got married, but his life after marriage was not happy, because his wife was too hard to live with him and there was no guarantee. So he asked for a divorce. He had no choice but to promise. What’s worse, The judge awarded his child to his wife. For a time he lost everything. The cruel reality completely destroyed his psychological defense. So one night, he made a very extreme behavior. He wanted to kidnap his child. . That night, he was hiding in the grass, waiting for the opportunity to start, finally, the opportunity came, but at that moment, he could not bear to do it.

In this way, his life was wasted in his hesitation again and again, and his life was inactive. When he was fifty-six, he retired, but the government only gave him a $105 pension. When he received the pension, he said: "The government will give me 105 yuan a month, so that I can barely live. There must be something I can do for myself and for others." So he made a decision that affects himself and affects the world as well. He used the $105 to open a fast food restaurant, mainly dealing with fried chicken and bread. The name of the fast food restaurant is KFC. The old man is Harlan Sandoz, the father of KFC.

Destiny gave him opportunities again and again, he missed. But the good news is that he himself has created an opportunity to change the world for himself. This time, he used the remaining $105 to create an indelible glory. Maybe many years later, some people will eat fried chicken and burgers, look at the smiling old man, and recollect his immortal legend.

We never know what will happen in the next second. We never know when and where life will give us the olive branch that determines our destiny. Maybe, at the next corner, happiness will wave to you. Perhaps, happiness is only separated by a hidden door, waiting for a silly boy to push in and then hug, long-awaited sweetness.

"The Lord of the Rings" said: "Small characters create history because they have no choice." But I think that small people create history because they dare to fight, dare to pursue, dare to shine all evil and injustice, even if they are in the same place. Even if the body is defeated, even if it falls into mud, it will be dusted.

Some people may say that my thinking is too naive and the idea is too naive. Indeed, for mature people who have suffered from the twists and turns of life and the baptism of the years, this is really unrealistic because they have long since lost their inner strength. But I always believe that there will be miracles in the world, and I will create miracles. Like the phrase "JustDoIt", like the phrase "I can."

I am so emotional tonight that I am reminded of some frustrated encounters in my university. But I know that it is difficult to have the power to create heaven without the torture of hell. It is difficult for a finger without blood to play the swan song of the world.

Why are you afraid of the storm? What are you afraid of? Failure will only make me stronger. Even if the fate is displaced, the fate will be bizarre, and there will still be me alone. In the repeated failures, I will silently persist. Even if the wind and rain, even if the wind and rain....
