Believe in Yourself

When I first met my husband's Uncle George, a tall Averell Harriman type person, he said, "Hello."

.

I said, "Hello."

.

Then he immediately follows with, "Do you eat chow chow?"

.

My first thought, "What is this? What is wrong with this man?"

.

He told me he made chow-chow, a relish you eat with hot dogs, hamburgers, and black-eyed peas.

.

Uncle George - it turns out he was a very nice man - believed in himself and in his product. He kept on working on his chow-chow product and eventually the company expanded. His products now sell all over the country.

.

He convinced me to buy a jar, and I eat the product to this day. But the most important lesson I learned from Uncle George was to believe wholly and completely in what you undertake. Good things will happen.
