Colonel Harland David Senders



I want to share a story of Harland Senders, the founder of KFC. His life inspired me a lot and soared my courage. When he was only 6 years old his father died. He was the eldestson so he had to suffer his poor family. He did anything to earn money without any hesitation. He did the job of conductor, job of a blacksmith's helper and any third class job but he did not earn much to make the both ends meet.



At the age of twelve, he lost many jobs. He decided to become a chef. He started his work at a low rank but it was okay. Then he married at the age of 18. In the beginning they started their relation very well. As time passed, his wife came to know about his bad luck. She decided to leave him because of his bad fortune and took herkids too. It was really a big lose for him.



He often convince his wife to come back but she refused. When he found no reason to surviveand he realized about his misfortune, he decided to commit suicide. He began to write his will but instead of writing his will he wrote that what did he get in his life.



He realized that he was also blessed by many things as well. He decided to start a business of fried chicken by his old recipe. He went door to door to sell and earn. As time passed, his business grew up and he became a billionaire through his hard work. He was determined so now he is the founder ofKentucky Fried Chicken.
