Persistence. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent won't; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius won't; unrewarded genius is practically a cliché. Education won't; the world is full of educated fools. Persistence and determination alone are all powerful. Show that you don't have to be defeated by anything. That you can have peace of mind, improved health and a never ceasing flow of energy. If you attempt each and every day to achieve these things, the results will make themselves obvious to you. While it may sound like a magical notion, it is in you to create your own future. The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind. Or as Ralph Waldo Emerson declared, "A man is what he thinks about all day long."

- Where's the... Where's the front of the apron? - Show me. - All right. Just make sure the windows are big enough so the customers can look into the restaurant. All the way to the kitchen. Doesn't look right. Let me see this. - Ray. - What? - We got a letter from San Bernardino. - Read it to me. - Dear Ray. Thank you for your letter sharing your idea to strike a deal with Coca-Cola to sponsor menu boards at the new Des Plaines location. An intriguing notion, indeed. As you rightly point out, such an arrangement would provide a steady source of revenue to the store at no additional labor cost. - However... - However? However, what? - However, this is a concept that goes beyond our core beliefs. McDonald's was founded with the idea of families and not strict commerce. - Sons of bitches, they don't know what the hell... - And so on and so on...

It's its own separate company. Which puts it outside your purview. - Anything relating to McDonald's is within our purview. - Let me explain something to you, Dick. You boys have full say over what goes on inside the restaurants. But outside? Above? Below? Your authority stops at the door. And at the floor. All right?

- Hiya, Dick, how ya doing? - Well, if you really want to know I'm a tad miffed. - Why? What seems to be the problem? - Franchise Realty Corporation. - What about it? - For starters, would you mind telling me what it is? - Oh, nothing really. Just a little something I created to help provide leasing services, you know, lend support to our new franchisees. - You know full well you can't do something like that without first clearing it. - Now, why would I need to do that? - Because as your deal plainly states, any and all changes must be agreed to in writing. - Except it's not a change. - Excuse me? - It's not a change. It's a company.

- I thought it over. Approved. - Really? - Thank you! - No, thank you. It's a wiz-bang idea and you're the one who thought of it. - Well we're deeply honored to serve as your test market. - The hell with that. I'm going to roll this out nationally. Hey, have you seen the latest copy of RBM? Hot off the press.

We'll need backing. I've arranged meetings with investors and financial institutions. We're in the center of the town which is the only over-saturated aspect. We should do well in this area because... Has anyone here ever eaten at a McDonald's? ...Operation growth is going to enable us to expand. Franchise Realty Corporation how may I...? They seem exaggerated but they're fully supported by the numericals. In fact, we erred on the side of caution. - He's being conservative. Mine, based on gut, and my gut tells me those numbers are low. McDonald's is growing quick as a hiccup. - I'm Harry Sonneborn this is...
