#24: Coca Cola Legacy

People make mistakes they regret after some time. It can happen to any one of us. In this story, we have the man who invented Coca-Cola and sold the recipe before it became valuable. We’re sure the event haunted him for a long time, if not his entire life.

That money could have been passed down for generations. This goes to show that you must be careful about the ideas you come up with, and you must be patient. Your ideas are precious, and we’re sure the guy never came up with an idea or recipe as golden as that again. At least there’s a moral to this story.
