How KFC founder achieved remarkable success at age 65

Colonel Sanders is best known for creating a fried chicken recipe that would become the world's fast-food chicken chain, Kentucky Fried Chicken.


● At age 5 his Father died.
● At age 16 he quit school.
● At age 17 he had already lost four jobs.
● At age 18 he got married.
● Between ages 18 and 22, he was a railroad conductor and failed.
● He joined the army and washed out there.
● He applied for law school he 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 and took their baby daughter.
● He became a cook and dishwasher in a small cafe.
● He failed in an attempt to kidnap his own daughter, and eventually he 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’t 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 realised 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 neighbours in Kentucky.

● Remember at age 65 he was ready to commit suicide.

● But at age 88 Colonel Sanders, founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) Empire was a billionaire.

● Moral of the story: Attitude. It's never too late to start all over.
MOST IMPORTANLY, IT'S ALL ABOUT YOUR ATTITUDE. NEVER GIVE UP NO MATTER HOW HARD IT GETS.

● You have what it takes to be successful. Go for it and make a difference. No guts no glory. It's never too old to dream.

Buah Delima Pilihan Menjaga Kesihatan

Punica granatum atau lebih dikenali sebagai buah delima menjadi pilihan ramai masa kini untuk menjaga kesihatan. Ia juga dikenali sebagai pomegranate, rumman, rumien atau rimmon.

Buah delima memang terkenal dengan khasiat kerana mengandungi antioksidan yang tinggi malah kajian menunjukkan kandungan antioksidan dalam buah itu dua atau tiga kali lebih tinggi berbanding anggur merah.

Malah kualiti antioksidan delima juga dikatakan lebih baik daripada beri biru, kranberi dan oren kerana polifenol di dalamnya lebih tinggi.

Ketika ini ramai pengusaha produk kecantikan mahupun makanan berlumba menggunakan buah delima dalam produk mereka disebabkan khasiatnya. 

Delima berasal dari Iran dan juga didapati di India, Afghanistan dan Syria. Daun delima mempunyai permukaan yang berkilat dan berbentuk oblong berukuran antara tiga hingga tujuh sentimeter (sm) panjang dan 1.3sm lebar.

Bunga delima berwarna merah terang, ada yang mempunyai bunga oren terang terutama bagi spesies delima katik atau kerdil (dwarf pomergranate) atau nama saintifiknya punica granatum nana.
