At age 5 his Father died.
At age 16 he quit school.
At age 17 he had already lost four jobs.
At age 18 he got married.
Between ages 18 and 22, he was a railroad
conductor and failed.
He joined the army and washed out there.
He applied for law school he 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 and took their
baby daughter.
He became a cook and dishwasher in a small
cafe.
He failed in an attempt to kidnap his own
daughter, and eventually he 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’t
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 neighbours in Kentucky.
Remember at age 65 he was ready to
commit suicide.
But at age 88 Colonel Sanders, founder of
Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) Empire was a
billionaire.
Moral of the story: Attitude. It's never too
late to start all over.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT'S ALL ABOUT YOUR
ATTITUDE. NEVER GIVE UP NO MATTER HOW
HARD IT GETS.
You have what it takes to be successful. Go
for it and make a difference.
Inspire someone today.
