Colonel Harland Sanders, the fried-chicken magnate, who seems in public
to be as jolly and serene as Santa Claus, is actually one of the world’s
foremost worriers,” William Whitworth wrote in The New Yorker in
1970. “The Colonel maintains a vigilant fretfulness in the face of
overwhelming good fortune. He has won money, fame, and the affection of
his fellow-citizens”—and yet, all the same, he is “haunted by the fear
that someone, somewhere, is doing something to hurt his chicken.” Such
is the life of the businessperson. The competition never ends. Success
leads to fear. Then, ideally, fear leads to invention".
