Dave Thomas

A leader that I would be honored to work with is Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy’s Restaurants. Thomas created an environment that was customer-oriented, innovative, supportive of children’s charities, and beneficial to employees. He started as a counterman at age 12 and learned the restaurant business from the ground up (Dave Thomas, 2013). When he finally started Wendy’s, he had created a business plan that would set his restaurant apart from all others. This plan included a comfortable, homey environment, fresh (never frozen) and cooked to order food, and efficient service. His goal was to provide customers with a quality experience while adapting to new business demands. He fostered a learning environment and constantly changed and…

Colonel Sanders “No hours, nor amount of labor, nor amount of money can deter me from giving the best I ever can.” Colonel Sanders said this because to him, it was not about how much money he was making or how much work he had to do, he would always try his best at whatever it was he was doing. With him facing many hardships in life, going through different near death experiences and changing the fast food industry, he deserves to be more well known and have a higher status in history. First,…

Colonel Harland David Sanders was rejected 1009 times before finding someone who accepted his chicken recipe. He failed 1009 times before finally attaining his lifelong goal. What if he had quit after the first rejection? Or after the first 100? He would have settled into the dull routine of every other American, finding something less adventurous and risky to do. Since he was willing to endure 1009 rejections, and had the stamina to continue pursuing his goal, his chicken is now the prized…

“Every child deserves a home and love. Period.”, Dave Thomas. If possible, I would like for you to think about this quote long and hard. You could think about what Dave Thomas is really trying to say. Wouldn’t you think that any loving home is better than not having a home at all? You should think about how many children are in the foster care system, waiting to be adopted by a parent, or by parents. A legal parent is defined as the person who has the right to live with a child and make…

about how failure is not documented in history, but no one knew how to change the world the first time. Estrem references Thomas Edison, who states, “I didn 't fail 1,000 times. The lightbulb was an invention with 1,000 steps” ( Estrem 2). Failure is the key to success. Children have to learn from their mistakes, not be signed to unwinding. If children like Thomas Edison were unwound, who knows when the lightbulb would have been invented. In Unwind, if Connor had been unwound, he never would…

Offspring, Nofx and so many others were influenced by them”. Is what Tony Sly (lead singer) from the No Use For A Name band said. Karan (Rockers reflect on the legacy of Kurt Cobain).

He and his band sold over 30 million copies of one of the best work Nirvana ever (Nevermind) released. Kurt and his group released their first single “Love Buzz” which was also…

Coraline by Neil Gaiman is about a young girl named Coraline Jones discovering a door to her other life, other parents, and other struggles.I believe this book was excellent because the author Neil Gaiman,really went into detail about Coraline as a character. He wrote about her surroundings and the new things she discovers behind the door often describing every step she takes.Coraline Jones does not narrate the story but oddly enough, her thoughts and feelings are the only one’s shared…
