Wim Kiekens


This is Wim Kiekens (Wim Chickens, transl). He was a professional football player who fielded the pitch as a feared defender for the RWDM and Antwerp. At the end of his career he unfortunately became depressed. After five years though, he took matters into his own hands, started his own chicken farm and soon became one of the leading figures in the chicken business. He now leads a happy life with his wife and five children and five million chickens and his pet duck Charlie.

This made me think. Wouldn't it be a good idea for people to start taking jobs that are linked to their last name? Today's society has so many options that we become overwhelmed with all the possible ways to lead our life, leading to many mental health issues. Sometimes it can help to just take what is given to us and work from there.

The world would have a lot less rodeo clowns though. That's for sure.
