So, whenever anyone said to me Mr. Perfect than it meant everything to me. Although it was great to know many things at once, but when it came to master everything I know, instead of enjoying all those things a burden was created on me. It was like why am I doing this?

KFC, also known as Kentucky Fried Chicken was just a roadside restaurant once and now has more 20,000 outlets across the globe with a revenue of more than $20 billion. The story of KFC is a true example of persistence. The founder of KFC was Harland Sanders. He lost his father at a very young age.
