human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality. Colonel Saunders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company (KFC) in the world.

In today’s world of mobile phones, most people have at least one
time-telling tool with them. Since these small machines are so common, will
people stop wearing the 500-year-old watches? According to some people, yes. A teenager says it’s unnecessary to wear a watch. Many young people agree-and use their mobile phones to tell time. Louis Galie, apresident, said that fewer young people wear watches today than five years ago.
However, watchmakers say that watches get popular again when people
