One day, Kuang Heng summoned up his courage and said to his neighbor, "I want to study at night, but I can't afford candles. Can I borrow an inch of your house? " Neighbors have always looked down on people who are poorer than their family, so they said viciously and sarcastically, "Since you are too poor to buy candles, what books are you reading?" Kuang Heng was very angry, but he decided to read the book well.

When Kuang Heng came home, he quietly cut a small hole in the wall, through which the neighbor's candlelight came in. With this faint light, he eagerly began to read books and gradually finished reading all the books at home.

After reading these books, Kuang Heng felt that his knowledge was far from enough, and his desire to continue reading more books was even more urgent.

He said to his host, "please take me in, and I will work for you at home for free." Just let me read all your books. " The host was moved by his spirit and agreed to his request to borrow books.

Sue studies very hard.

Born in a poor peasant family, he worked in the fields since he was a child: herding cattle, mowing grass, plowing fields, and doing everything. At that time, he thought, there must be no chance to study in this life.

It happened that a rich family in the village hired a tutor to teach his son to read. Sue listens outside the window when she is free, and writes and draws casually. Unexpectedly, this childe didn't learn well, but Sue learned a lot of knowledge. Seeing that he wanted to study so much, his uncle took out money to persuade Sue's father to send him to a primary school hundreds of miles away.

In the first semester of primary school, Sue came last in the exam. The teacher called him to the office and encouraged him enthusiastically. This greatly moved Sue, and she made up her mind to make a fortune. If he really makes up his mind, the situation will be different. From the second semester to the university graduation, I won the first prize every semester.

At first glance, the teacher found that the writing was very similar to the famous Zuo Zhuan in ancient times, and she wondered if Sue had written it herself.

All aspects of the cold and bristle, like the north wind in winter, his heart suddenly froze into ice. Just when he was almost desperate, he unexpectedly received a reply from a poet, who praised his poetry collection and said, "I think this is the essence of the greatest wisdom that America can contribute so far."

This sincere praise and approval made him seem to be on the verge of death and saw the dawn of hope. Since then, he has strengthened his belief in writing poetry. Many years later, he became a great poet recognized by the United States and even the whole world, and his only collection of poems became a classic in the history of American and even human poetry.

God's delay is not a refusal.

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, such as selling insurance, being a soldier, being a sheriff ... He tried everything, 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. 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 tastes very unique and 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. It is true that "planting flowers is intentional, but planting willows is unintentional". His fried chicken soon spread all over KFC, so people came to his gas station in succession, and some even came to taste his fried chicken specially, not to refuel.

Due to the sharp increase in customers, the venue of the gas station was 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 Harland Sanders, the founder of KFC. Today, his fried chicken is popular all over the world, with more than 15000 chain stores around the world.
