| Colonel Sanders (1890-1980) |
At Age 5, his Father died
At age 16, he
quit school
At age 17 he had
already lost four jobs
Between 18 and
22, he was a railroad conductor and failed.
He joined the
army and washed out there.
He applied for
law school but was rejected.
He became an
insurance sales man and failed again.
At age 19 he
became a father
At age 20, his
wife left him taking their child with her, because he couldn’t hold a job.
He became a cook
and dishwasher in a small cafe.
He eventually
convinced his wife to return home.
At age 65 he
retired.
On the 1st day of
retirement he received a cheque from the Government for $105.
He felt that the
Government was saying that he couldn't provide for himself.
He decided
to commit suicide, it wasn' worth living anymore; he had failed so much.
He sat under a
tree writing his will, but instead, he wrote what he would have accomplished
with his life. He realized there was much more that he hadn't done. There was
one thing he could do better than anyone he knew and that was how to COOK.
So he borrowed
$87 against his cheque and bought and fried up some chicken using his recipe,
and went door to door to sell them to his neighbors in Kentucky.
Remember at age
65, he was ready to commit suicide but at age 88 Colonel Sanders founder of
Kentucky Fried Chicken Empire was a billionaire.
Colonel Sanders
(1890-1980) created the Kentucky Fried Chicken fast food chain at the age of
66. Pride in his product, high standards, and brilliant marketing help to
establish him as an innovator in the fast food industry.
It is Never too
Late to start all over. Never give up no matter how hard it gets. Enjoy your
day!
You have what it
takes to be successful. Go for it and make a difference.
