Ray Kroc is the founder of McDonald’s. Did you know that every five hours somewhere around the world a new McDonald’s restaurant is opening? Neither did I until recently reading about Mr. Ray Kroc. Something also shocking about Mr. Kroc and McDonalds is that he did not conceive the idea about McDonalds until he was 52 years old. He did not let his age and life span determine where his dreams began and ended. He continued to dream on. Despite the challenges he encountered, they were simply pebbles thrown at a giant compared to how he lives today. Ray Kroc’s McDonalds serve more than 47 million people daily. We can see why his slogan is “Im lovin’ it!”.
“I was 52 years old. I had diabetes and incipient arthritis. I had lost my gall bladder and most of my thyroid gland in earlier campaigns, but I was convinced that the best was ahead of me.”
