00:00Colonel Harlan Sanders. Colonel Harlan David Sanders. This name is not limited to just a

00:06spice or a chicken recipe, but it is the story of a man who turned failure into success at every

00:11turn of life. A man who took to the streets to fulfill his dreams at the age of 65. And today,

00:18his name resonates with the most successful brands in the world. Let's hear the story of

00:22his passion, courage, and unwavering determination. Part 1. Childhood.

00:30The beginning of poverty and deprivation narrator. Harlan Sanders was born in 1890 into a poor family

00:36in America. When he was only six years old, his father died. His mother started working in a

00:42factory to run the household, and Harlan was entrusted with the responsibility of taking

00:46care of his younger siblings and cooking. By the age of seven, he was already making the best cakes

00:52and vegetables. He only had a chance to get an education up to the seventh grade. At the age of

00:5812, he left home to work on a farm. In his youth, he worked on the railroad, sold insurance,

01:04and even worked as a coal loader on a steamboat. Failure followed him in every job. In the 1930s,

01:11Sanders bought a gas station in Kentucky and also arranged food for passengers. His fried chicken

01:17and homemade biscuits became popular. In 1935, the governor of Kentucky gave him the honorary title

01:24of Colonel, which became his identity as Colonel Sanders. But fate struck again. In 1950, his

01:33restaurant was abandoned due to the construction of a new highway. At the age of 65, Sanders had

01:39only an old car, a pension of $105, and his secret condiment. He decided,

01:45Asterisk, Asterisk, I'm going to take my recipe to the world. Asterisk. Sanders packed his car and set

01:52out to sell his condiment to restaurant owners. He would go to each restaurant, cook the chicken,

01:58and say, Asterisk, Asterisk, give you like my chicken, give me five cents per sale. Asterisk,

02:04people thought he was crazy. He was rejected 1,009 times. On the 1,010th try, a restaurant in Utah

02:13accepted his offer. That restaurant's sales increased 75% in the first year. This was the

02:20first milestone for the KFC franchise. By 1964, KFC had more than 600 outlets, and Sanders sold the

02:29company for $2 million. But he remained the face of KFC with his white suit, bow tie, and secret

02:36condiment. Colonel Sanders' personal life was equally painful. His first wife left him, and the death of

02:42his daughter shook him to the core. At one point in his 40s, he was so broke that he couldn't even pay

02:47the rent on his office, but he never gave up. In his autobiography, he writes, Asterisk, Asterisk,

02:54he learned that failure doesn't hurt you until you accept it. Asterisk, he married his second wife,

02:59who became his greatest supporter, and continued working until he was 90 years old. Today, KFC operates

03:06more than 25,000 restaurants in 150 countries around the world. Colonel Sanders died in 1980

03:13at the age of 90, but his white suit and smile are still the hallmarks of the brand. His story is not

03:18limited to chicken, but it is the story of a man who proved. Asterisk, asterisk, gauge. Circumstances

03:26are past do not define your destiny. Conclusion

03:32So friends, the life of Colonel Sanders teaches us this lesson, giving up his death. Dreams can be

03:39achieved even at the age of 65. Turn adversity into opportunity. The highway destroyed his restaurant,

03:46but he built an empire. Never give up on your passion. Sanders' passion for cooking is immortal.
