Just imagine this… You are 65 years old.
You have only a few dollars in your pocket.
You have faced failure after failure in life.
The world tells you: ‘It’s over. Nothing more can happen for you now.’
But!… What if I told you that at this very age, a man changed his destiny, created a secret recipe that conquered the entire world, and that man was none other than Colonel Harland Sanders – the founder of KFC.
And today, KFC sells more than 10 million pieces of chicken every single day across the globe."
📖 Childhood and Struggles (8 minutes)
"Colonel Sanders was born in 1890 in a poor family in America.
When he was only 6 years old, his father passed away. His mother had to go out to work, and little Harland was left with the responsibility of the kitchen.
At that very young age, he started cooking for his mother and siblings. Just imagine… a child, who should be playing and studying in school, was lighting up the stove and preparing meals.
That is where his love for cooking began. But poverty, hardships, and lack of proper education never left his side."
Part 2: Failure after Failure (8 minutes)
"As he grew older, Sanders tried many jobs.
He worked as a train conductor.
He sold insurance.
He worked as a salesman.
But in every job, failure followed him. Nothing lasted for long.
Life kept knocking him down, again and again.
But the real question is: Did he give up?
The answer is No.
Every time life pushed him down, he stood up again.
And here I want to ask you:
Have you ever given up after one failure?
If yes, then remember this → Colonel Sanders failed not once, not ten times, but hundreds of times. Yet, he still kept going."
Part 3: Passion for Cooking & First Success (6 minutes)
"Despite all the failures, his passion for cooking never died.
While working at a small gas station in Kentucky, he started cooking chicken for customers.
People loved his chicken.
During that time, he developed a very special combination → a secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices.
This recipe became his identity.
Soon, he opened a small restaurant. Customers came, tasted his food, and loved it.
It seemed like life was finally changing for him."
Part 4: Everything Falls Apart Again
"But destiny had another test.
The government changed the route of the highway, and suddenly, his restaurant lost all customers.
His business collapsed.
Debts increased.
And once again, he was left with nothing.
Now imagine… 65 years old, no money, no business, no support.
Most people would have quit right there.
Most would have said, ‘It’s over.’
But Sanders made a decision:
‘I will try one more time.’"
Part 5: Rejection after Rejection (8 minutes)
"He came up with a new plan → to sell his recipe.
He got into his old car and drove from one city to another.
He approached restaurant owners and said:
‘Try my recipe. If you like it, just give me a few cents for every chicken sold.’
