The Person Who Became a Billionaire at the Age Of 65

 This is the story of a completely unfortunate man, his father died when he was five years old. His mother was forced to sew people's clothes. Despite working hard all day, she couldn't make both ends meet at home, so his mother started working in a factory. She worked all day in the factory and came home to sew clothes. When Mom went to the factory, he took care of his younger brother and younger sister. He also played with them, washed and changed their clothes and made food for them. He learned to make bread at the age of six. One day when he was making bread and feeding it to his younger sister and brother, he remembered that today his mother had gone to the factory without eating anything, so he closed the bread in a bag and hung the bag on his shoulder. Holding sister's hand and holding younger brother's hand in the other hand reached the factory four kilometers away from home.

He kept looking for his mother in the whole factory and finally got tired and stood in a place with his younger sister and younger brother. When the mother saw her children from a distance, she came running and hugged the three of them. The chiled opened the bag and presented the bread he had made to his mother. After looking the bread, mother cried for a long time and kissed his hand. They all cried for a long time. His mother watched his little hands for a long time as he made bread for his younger sister and younger brother and for his mother, as well as crying and praying to him over and over again.

There was nothing good in this person's life except this prayer of mother. He could not go further in studies, he was an incompetent student so he could not go beyond seventh grade. This guy started working in the farm house failed, this guy painted and whitewashed the houses but he also failed, this guy failed to be as a conductor, he started cleaning work in the train was fired, this man was fired while enlisting in the army, he was hired as a laborer in the railways and was later kicked out. This man became a lawyer who studied law but failed miserably. When he started insurance work, he was also kicked out from there.

Just keep counting the failures of that person. The man married at the age of 18 and had three children, but his wife, fed up with repeated failures and starvation, separated. The man started a boat company at the age of 30 and succeeded, but then it closed. The United States used iron lamps until 1925. We mostly call these iron lamps as lanterns. This man started a company to make iron lamps and this company started, and orders started coming to him from all over the United States. When his company grew a bit suddenly a company called Delco started making bulbs. So the whole market of iron lamps came to an end. Both he and his company went bankrupt.

Just go counting the failures of this person and be amazed. This person built a service station for washing cars and it also closed. When he opened a hotel at the age of forty, the hotel caught fire. He took a loan and built a new hotel, then World War II started, so this second hotel also closed. Then he built a restaurant and this restaurant used to give the chicken that he used to feed his mother, sister and his younger brother when he was young, so this restaurant started. The man breathed a sigh of relief and saw his misfortune that the government had built a road over his restaurant so his restaurant was demolished.

By now, the man was 63 years old and had not been able to do anything. In all the work he undertook, he suffered the same setbacks and failures. This man had failed miserably in all his endeavors but he had learned a lesson from all these failures and that was to never give up. Before I go on to tell the story, let me tell you that when he was running the restaurant, he made a recipe with ready-made examples, herbs, chicken and a pressure cooker and he called this recipe his secret recipe and he thought that good chicken could not be made from this recipe all over the world.

By now, the man was 63 years old and had not been able to do anything. In all the work he undertook, he suffered the same setbacks and failures. This man had failed miserably in all his endeavors but he had learned a lesson from all these failures and that was to never give up. Before I go on to tell the story, let me tell you that when he was running the restaurant, he made a recipe with ready-made spices, herbs, chicken and a pressure cooker and he called this recipe as his secret recipe and he used to thought that such a good chicken could not be made all over the world.

After the restaurant closed, he decided to give this recipe in different restaurants. So he took the car and got out. He was 63 years old at the time and did not have a single rupee in his pocket. So he stood up to borrow eighty dollars and give his recipes to various restaurants. This man wandered the streets and alleys of various restaurants for about two years, he slept under sidewalks and bridges, he traveled all over the United States but he did not find a single user.

He went to a thousand and nineteen restaurants and all these restaurants refused to take his recipe. He failed 1000 times again and again in two years, but in spite of all this the man did not give up. At that time there was only one person on earth who believed that this recipe would succeed and he was himself that person. The whole world was saying, "You are a loser and all time failure." But he was saying, "No, I still have the passion to win and I will show victory." He arrived in Salt Lake City two years later and met Peter Harmon, a small cafe owner, and his wife. He test his chicken to both of them and they both agreed to add his chicken to their menu.

Peter Harmon named this chicken Ticket Harmon Chicken in his restaurant menu. This was the first development of his recipe in the whole world and it was dated August 3, 1952. It was only a matter of time before the name of this chicken appeared on the menu and his misfortune turned into good fortune. He became a billionaire in not time.

This is the story of Colonel Harland Sanders, the world's first international food chain. You see a picture of an old man on top of every box of KFC, this picture of an old man who just failed until the age of sixty-five. Whatever work he started, he had only one result and that was failure.

But when he died in 1980 at the age of 90, he had 6,000 restaurants in 48 countries, and the brand was earning 23 billion a year. In 2018, the number of KFCs in 136 countries of the world had reached 22,126 and it was earning more than fifty billion dollars. If we convert this amount into Pakistan, it becomes ten thousand billion rupees. Colonel Harland Sanders was one of the few unlucky people in the world to be beaten by fate, but fortunately this misfortune did not defeat him. Fortunately, the misfortune also had to go back had to return after apologizing to Colonel Harland Sanders.

The story of Colonel Harland Sanders teaches everyone that no failure in the world can make you fail unless you admit failure yourself. You see the failures of this person and then you see your own little failures. Just Colonel Harland Sanders did not give up while we give us with just one turned upside down by only one stumbling block, one setback and one failure. The only thing we need to keep in mind is that when failures don't hurt Colonel Harland Sanders, they can’t hurt you. You just have to be more discriminating with the help you render toward other people. No matter how hard you try to beat but you should always have a passion for success. Just get up like a worm every time and start working again. I assure you that you will definitely succeeded.
