I posted new article yesterday about mind setting and fears, I wonder where do this calling takes me, I was reading
a book yesterday and my older son accidentally played a movie on TV titled : THE FOUNDER it is a true story of how the famous MC Donalds become an Americanized
Famous Fast food chain in the world.
It
started with a great and humble stories from the original owners : the McDonald’s
brothers, they were fascinated with so many things, create new ideas, until
they discover the concept of speedy service
on a fast food chain set-up, it’s amazing how they were jumping from one
opportunity to another with so much positivity that they were able plot and find ways to succeed even how difficult it is,
they never give up on something they believe, they have the talent, confidence and
intelligence.
However, with the success of their McDonald's speedy concept
restaurant, a small time businessman Ray Kroc who has been unsuccessful in creating
a name for his business been driving all over America to sell ice cream mixer products, until he met the McDonald's brother, one of the brother is extra nice to Ray that he was able to convinced the other brother to give Ray a tour on their successful first
ever McDonald's restaurant, in exchange, Ray invited the brothers for a dinner to learn their stories.
Ray Kroc immediately loved the concept of the restaurant that he started dreaming about ideas of franchising and convinced the McDonald's brother get into his franchising concept years later with the persistence work of Ray Kroc, McDonald's became the largest and fastest growing fast food chain in the USA and has expanded internationally
until then, RAY KROC has taken the management of McDonald's for himself and become the founder of McDonald's, leaving the McDonald's brothers with only one store that eventually closed not able to keep up with the hype.

In a scene where Ray Kroc was practicing
for a speech in front of the mirror, he mentioned about the word PERSISTENCE,
and that’s what he used to make it into the business after so many failures in
life, he uses this to make a name for himself and raise beyond expectations. ( I’m
feeling really bad for the Mc donald’s brother, betrayal and greediness at its
best!!)
The movie is an eye opener that,
Education and Intelligence are not enough to be successful, there are many
successful people who are not able to finish school but I’m not saying that it’s
good to neglect school, it is always great to have the right knowledge and a
hard earned degree.
Combine education and intelligence
with persistence, patience and confidence, the world has so much opportunities for
those who look beyond the box and work beyond themselves, set your mind to
become who you want to become, be smart in all your plans and be wise in all
decisions.
The Founder : Risk Taker, Rule Breaker, Game Changer
