The Story of the Founder of KFC 2007-11-17 23:56 This is a true story:

He lost his father when he was 5 years old and dropped out of school when he was 14 years old. A wandering life.

He did odd jobs on the farm and worked as a tram conductor, but he was unhappy in both cases.

When he was 16 years old, he lied about his age and joined the army, but his military life was not satisfactory either. After completing his service, he opened a blacksmith shop, but it soon closed down.

Subsequently, he became a locomotive stoker on the Southern Railway Company. He liked this job very much, so he thought he had finally found his place.

He got married when he was 18 years old. On the same day he learned that his wife was pregnant, he received a notice of dismissal.

One day, while he was running around looking for a job, his wife sold all their property and disappeared.

Then the Great Depression began. However, he did not give up because he kept failing, and kept trying to find opportunities to get ahead.

He once studied law through correspondence courses, but later had to give up due to financial constraints.

He has sold insurance and tires.

He ran a ferry and also ran a gas station.

But in the end these failed.

Someone told him, accept your fate, you will never succeed.

One day, he was hiding alone in the grass on the outskirts, planning a kidnapping operation.

Although his life had always been a mess, he had never even thought of kidnapping before this. However, as he waited for his target to come within range, he began to hate himself deeply.

In the end, the kidnapping operation failed because he still could not break through his uneasy conscience.

Later, he became the chef of a restaurant. But soon, a newly built highway happened to pass through the restaurant, and he was helplessly unemployed again.

Then he reached retirement age. Time flies, a lifetime has passed before his eyes, and he still has nothing.

He is not the first, nor the last, person to be proud of himself in his later years. Maybe the happy bird, or any bird, is always flapping its wings in a place just out of reach.

He has always kept to himself, except for the attempted kidnapping, but he just wanted to get his daughter back from his runaway wife. However, the mother and daughter later returned to him.

Had it not been for the postman delivering his first Social Security check one day, he would not have realized that he was old. This insurance check seemed to say to him that all his life, you have failed to hit when it is your turn to hit the ball. Now, there is no need to hit the ball anymore, it is time to give up and retire. This pension check seemed to keep saying to him: "You are old! You are old!..." That day, something in him was irritated, and he woke up again.

He said, "Bah!" But he still accepted the $105 check and used it to start his own new business.

Today, his career is thriving. And he finally achieved great success at the age of 88.

The man who began to achieve glory at the end of his life was Harold Sanders, the founder of KFC. The brand new business he started with his social security money was the world-famous KFC Chicken.
