Famous People That Failed Before Their Fame. by Nobody: 10:35am On Oct 26, 2013
Like a wise man once said: That i failed doesn't mean i'll stop trying. If you've not failed, means that you've never tried anything new, even peeps from rich background had failed in one aspect or the other. Don't always hold yourself responsible for failing, cos it's the curse of nature ie failing to achieve.

Below are 6 famous people/group that failed before becoming famous.

ALBERT EINSTEIN (scientist)
Albert wasn't able to speak audibly until he was 4, his teachers said "he'll NEVER achieve anything".

STEVE JOBS (computer executive)
At 30, Steve was left devastated after being unceremoniously REMOVED from the company he started.

MICHAEL JORDAN (basketballer)
After Michael was being CUT from his high school basketball team, he went home, locked himself in his room and cried.

WALT DISNEY (enterpreneur)
Walt was fired from the newspaper company for "lacking IMAGINATION" and "having no ORIGINAL ideas".

OPRAH WINFREY (television personality)
Oprah was demoted from her job as a news anchor because she "wasn't FIT for television".

THE BEATLES (music band)
The group were rejected by a decca recording studios, who said "we don't like their music - they have no FUTURE in show business".
