TOP 1 TO 10

When a group of friends visit KFC for the
first time, there will be for sure someone

in the group who will ask the question, "Hey,
who is this old man?

Why his picture is everywhere?"

So, today let's know some of the unbelievable
facts about that old man.

Age can never be an obstacle in the way to
success.

The life story of Colonel Harland David Sanders
whom we know as the KFC's old guy, is a perfect

example of that.

He was born on 9th September, 1890 in America's
Henryville indiana.

At the age of 5, he lost his father.

After the death of his father, the financial
condition of his family became very poor,

also he had to take care of his younger brother
and sisiter.

So at the age of 16, he left his school.

After the second marriage of his mother, his
step father's bad behavior forced him to left

his house.

Then within 1 year he was fired from 4 companies.

After that in 1906 he went to his uncle's
house and stayed there for some days.

His uncle was working in a company named street
cars and so he got a job of a conductor through

his uncle's preference.

At the age of 18 Harland got married but his
married life was also not good.

At the age of 20, just after 2 years of his
marriage his wife demanded for a divorce and

decided to live separately with their children.

At the age of 22, he joined the army but from
there also he was fired.

After that he applied for admission in a law
school, and again he was rejected.

Then starting from selling insurance and credit
cards to tyres of different cars, he tried

many different small businesses but not for
a single time he was succeeded.

In the 1929 he wento corbin and opened a gas
station.

Beside that gas station, he set up his own
small stall and started to sell there some

new kind of fried chicken made by his own
unique recipe.

People started to love his fried chicken.

The governor of Kentucky loved his fried chicken
so much that he rewarded Harland with colonel

designation.

After getting so many positive responses first
time in his life, he decided to increase his

resturant business.

He completed an 8 weeks course on hotel management
from cornell university.

But here again failure hit him in life.

Due to construction of a highway, he had to
close his resturant as per the government's

order.

After that he decided to work as a chef in
a small cafe.

At the age of 65 when he retired from that
cafe, only a 105 dollars check was given to

him.

Which was just a few months expenditure for
any person at that time.

He was mentally completely broken down and
attempted to suicide for several times.

Although he was failed in every aspects of
his life, but he never lose his faith on his

unique recipe.

And that inspired him to fight for success
even at the age of 65.

He went off with his unique recipe and a pressure
cooker to do marketing of his unique recipe.

He went to different restaurants and told
them about his unique fried chicken, but everyone

rejected him.

After being rejected from 1009 restaurants,
finally one resturant owner decided to give

him a chance.

And from that day onwards he was never ever
rejected.

Although all his life he was a failure, but
his faith and believe in his unique recipe

made him overcome all those struggles and
finally helped him to reach to the peak of

success.

He had only 2 rules in his life, Rule 1: Try
to do everything that is possible by you and

Rule 2: Try to give your best in everything.

Because he believed, that is the only way
to achieve something bigger in life.

Eventually his unique recipe started to spread
his empire in different countries.

At the age of 88 he became a millionaire.

Today KFC or Kentucky Fried Chicken is on
more than 118 different countries all over

the world.

In 1980 at the age of 90 years old, Colonel
Sanders died due to pneumonia.

At the end I want to finish this blog with
his one of my favorite quote, he said "One

has to remember that, every failure can be
a steeping stone to something better."
