It's not Late to Start all over


At age five, 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 children with her, because he couldn’t hold a job. He  became a cook and dishwasher in a small cafe and 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. You have what it takes to be successful. Go for it and make a difference.

    Chapter nine of Wrong but Right?
    Later that night, Esther Badejo couldn’t sleep. Her mind kept replaying the events of the day. She decided it was a good day, after all. And it was also necessary; they had all needed it, even if they had been unaware of that need. It had been a while since they had a family time. They use to have it in form of an outing most weekends when the children were growing up and they still had from time to time in recent years. Continue here:
