Getting It by PStacks(m): 10:44am On Jan 24, 2015
1. Albert Einstein » Physicist
Best known for the General Theory of Relativity
Most of us take Einstein's name as synonymous
with genius, but he didn't always show such
promise. Einstein did not speak until he was four
and did not read until he was seven, causing his
teachers and parents to think he was mentally
handicapped, slow and anti-social.
Eventually, he was expelled from school and was
refused admittance to the Zurich Polytechnic
School. It might have taken him a bit longer, but
most people would agree that he caught on
pretty well in the end, winning the Nobel Prize
and changing the face of modern physics.
2. Walt Disney » Business Man
Founder of The Walt Disney Company.
Today Disney rakes in billions from
merchandise, movies and theme parks around
the world, but Walt Disney himself had a bit of a
rough start. He was fired by a newspaper editor
because, "he lacked imagination and had no
good ideas."
After that, Disney started a number of
businesses that didn't last too long and ended
with bankruptcy and failure. He kept plugging
along, however, and eventually found a recipe
for success that worked.
3. Isaac Newton » Scientist
Best known for: Universal gravitation, Newton's
method,
Newtonian mechanics, Optics, Infinitesimal
calculus.
Newton was undoubtedly a genius when it came
to math, but he had some failings early on. He
never did particularly well in school and when
put in charge of running the family farm, he
failed miserably, so poorly in fact that an uncle
took charge and sent him off to Cambridge
where he finally blossomed into the scholar we
know today.
4. Thomas Edison » Inventor and Businessman
Best known for Electric Light Bulb.
In his early years, teachers told Edison he was
"too stupid to learn anything."
Work was no better, as he was fired from his
first two jobs for not being productive enough.
Even as an inventor, Edison made 1,000
unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb.
Of course, all those unsuccessful attempts finally
resulted in the design that worked.
5. Henry Ford » Business Man
Founder of Ford Motor.
While Ford is today known for his innovative
assembly line and American-made cars, he
wasn't an instant success. In fact, his early
businesses failed and left him broke five times
before he founded the successful Ford Motor
Company.
6. Soichiro Honda » Business Man
Founder of Honda Motor.
The billion-dollar business that is Honda began
with a series of failures and fortunate turns of
luck. Honda was turned down by Toyota Motor
Corporation for a job after interviewing for a job
as an engineer, leaving him jobless for quite
some time.
He started making scooters of his own at home,
and spurred on by his neighbors, finally started
his own business.
7. Akio Morita » Business Man
Founder of Sony Corporation.
You may not have heard of Morita but you've
undoubtedly heard of his company, Sony.
Sony's first product was a rice cooker that
unfortunately didn't cook rice so much as burn
it, selling less than 100 units. This first setback
didn't stop Morita and his partners as they
pushed forward to create a multi-billion dollar
company.
8. Orville and Wilbur Wright (Wright Brothers) »
Airplane Inventors
Education: Completed High School.
These brothers battled depression and family
illness before starting the bicycle shop that
would lead them to experimenting with flight.
After numerous attempts at creating flying
machines, several years of hard work, and tons
of failed prototypes, the brothers finally created
a plane that could get airborne and stay there.
10. Abraham Lincoln » US Politician
While today he is remembered as one of the
greatest leaders of our nation, Lincoln's life
wasn't so easy. In his youth he went to war a
captain and returned a private (if you're not
familiar with military ranks, just know that
private is as low as it goes.)
Lincoln didn't stop failing there, however. He
started numerous failed business and was
defeated in numerous runs he made for public
office.
"Next time you're feeling down about your
failures in college or in a career, keep these
famous people in mind and remind yourself that
sometimes failure is just the first step towards
success."

You are welcome bro. It was actually copied.
Draw as much strength as u can from it.

Failure is a major part of success..

WÉ never really actually fail, we only grow in experience.

Nothing in the world takes the place of experience.

Experience they say is the best teacher, then, Never give up. Persistence and consistence are omnipotent.
