 [Image source](https://whereismydiscount.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/kfc-opengraph-1.jpg) This morning, I come bearing gifts...the gift of knowledge of the life of others, the gift of experience and the gift of inspiration and motivation... There are several reasons that inspired this article but foremost is the rate at which the youth of my country Ghana fold up their hands and watch on helplessly for government to come to their aid when indeed there is complete decentralization of both power and money on the internet today..... Instead of waiting for pennies why not get the source yourself?... be like; <center>https://media.giphy.com/media/j3x5hjUoXIesM/giphy.gif</center> <center>[Gif credit](https://giphy.com/gifs/gf-asks-shopping-j3x5hjUoXIesM)</center> I am sharing the story of KFC! Ever wondered what that means? I'm sure everyone knows that KFC stands for Kentucky Fried Chicken....Such a delicacy... but what is the story behind it and how do you find lessons and experiences from it? Let's discover together. <center>https://media.giphy.com/media/3o7TKVi44IZfOmlWXm/giphy.gif</center> <center>[Gif credit](https://giphy.com/gifs/newquest-light-sunshine-3o7TKVi44IZfOmlWXm)</center> The founder, Colonel Harland Sanders His Father died at age 5 and his mom had to travel long distance to work many jobs just to keep the family breathing. This meant that Sanders at age 7 had to undertake responsibilities that a 7 years old would not take on a usual day. He was responsible for finding food to feed himself and his siblings when ever mom was away... This made him good with cooking! He dropped out of school in 7th grade because he preferred to work all day than go to school. After all, how can you learn on an empty stomach?...... With his cooking abilities he started a restaurant where he at least made some money for up keeps..... It was not until he was 60 after losing out on his restaurant and having to go on retirement that he made the glory! Today KFC is a multi-billion company .... Sanders started late as you may say, but in the land of success there is no such thing as late or early! It is evident from the short story that sometimes apparent adversities may be blessing in disguise in the long run. When he was forced by circumstances to cook at that early age was the reason the merchants of his time knelt before him to make great of his skill...Good things seeks value for itself... he cooked his chicken in a small corner of the world but today a party in this world is not a party until KFC delicacies are involved...... <center>https://media.giphy.com/media/SasDDqOSRclNu/giphy.gif</center> <center>[Gif credit](https://giphy.com/gifs/food-eating-mr-bean-SasDDqOSRclNu)</center> You can blame your country or city or family for all you want but it won't change the fact that you are the only person who can truly stop yourself...People can try all they want but it is you that can pull the trigger on your own progress!... I once read a book that gave several reasons why people fail and among the reasons was that some people fail because they fear success..... At that time I was like; <center>https://media.giphy.com/media/l0ExkEkBl7Grk78tO/giphy.gif</center> [Gif credit](https://giphy.com/gifs/latenightseth-seth-meyers-lnsm-l0ExkEkBl7Grk78tO)</center> But soon afterwards I met people who actually confirmed to me that it is true both in their actions, believes and directly by word...In fact, most people are too scared to dream and they even project it to others such that when you dream big they see you as a jerk.....That is quite widespread...... Dear youth of my era , don't ever think that any future or dream is too big for you! give your brain the chance to imagine.... @ackza would tell you to dream, it all comes to pass.... Instead of fantasizing make your wishes into dreams and then into life long plans and put action to the plans no matter how small they may be! You just might never know 🙌 Just Months back I didn't know anything like Steemit... I knew cryptos but I had no idea how to have it and I never thought I could be in the world of cryptos just soon... Just a month after joining this platform I have STEEM, SBD, BTC and Thanks to advise from @ackza and @reko I have Dash and EOS.... @tj4real being a great leader have helped inspired this new direction....But is the direction really new? no! I have always look out for success...I think I should put the continuation in a new article so people can read and assimilate...... Thanks for your attention!!!
