From the book "When Life Gives you Lemons" title "Recipe for success" by Robert G. Ingersoll..Publish from Mc Grow Hill..Story about Linda Fisher..
Linda Fisher very nearly gave up when the Carroll county health officials put her out of business. She was a baker down to her bones, and yet they were telling her that she could not bake. Even worse, she was being humiliated in front of all her friends. She felt like a complete failure in their eyes. Defeats don't come much more disheartening than that.
But Linda Fisher didn't gives up or move out of town. She got a lucky break, and then she set out on her route again, despite her apprehension about how her friends would treat her. The warm and happy reception she received was a blessing that Linda Fisher might have missed had she slunk out of town. And it was only possible after the heartbreak of her defeat. By then, of course, Linda Fisher was no stranger to enduring hard time. she did not think in terms of failures and success. She thought more on bumps in the road that had to be traversed. like the recipes her mother handed down to her, her approach to handling adversity was simple and get past it somehow, then go on.
