At the age of ten Colonel Sanders was fired from a job and told by his boss,"Your not worth a doggone boy". Back then, the belief was that telling s child the truth about how inadequate they were would give them incentive to settle for a lesser job or skill, which matched their lack of a talent. His mother would tell him,"I am afraid that you are just no good. I guess I will never be able to count on you". For most of his life, the Colonel worked low skilled jobs. He never believed that he could amount to much. He even had one job where he cleaned cigaret ashtrays. At the age of sixty five he worked twelve hours a day pumping gas. But his perception changed. He would eat fried chicken at restaurants and it always tastes like toothpaste to him. He believed that he had the best recipe. He believed that he had what it took to sell the most and best fried chicken he believed in himself. He developed a very positive attitude. It was not easy. He went to 1009 restaurants and everyone one said "NO!" to his recipe. A few years later he sold his stores for two million dollars. That was seventy years ago. "Don't quite at sixty five. Maybe your boat hasn't come in yet, mine didn't". That was a quote from Colonel Sanders. He was broke at sixty five but he had a positive attitude and as a result his life changed.
