He set under a tree writing his will, but instead, he wrote what he
would have accomplished with his life. He realized there was
much more that he hadn’t done .There was one thing he could do
better then any one he knew and that was how to cook

some chicken using his recipe, and went door to door to sell them
to his neighbors in Kentucky

We are inspired by him as he is a person who never gave up in his life even
though he didn’t achieve anything big for a long time.
The way he stood up at the age of 65, explains that with complete hard work
and efficiency, one can even attain impossible things in life
If a person wants to become big life, then its really important to dream big as
well.
He proved that there is no age and experience that counts in any success, its
just more sincerity and effort to gain whatever one desires of.
We know now that even if failures comes at one’s door many times,
opportunity would also knock one day so, one should wait for the right time
and keep on moving in life, until and unless one gets it for lifetime.
