But failure gives you the chance to look at the other side of your goal where you have to improve yourself. So you should always be thankful for this, because people who see the success in first step doesn’t know the other sides of what they are doing, but people who face failure in first attempt can improve themselves in other ways and know what exactly your step is.

Abraham Lincoln is the 16th president of United States and he was also considered as one of the greatest president in the history of United States. But his life was never easy, he was humiliated so badly for his failure in the war. he was sent as a Captain for the army, but because of his failure he returned back as normal man. So he left the army and started into business. But even in this his path was never easy and not even one successful profit in his business career. Then faced repeated defeat in elections which generally breaks a people like us. But he did not give up at any field and worked so hard and stood so tough and became the 16th president of United States.

MICHAEL JORDAN

Michael Jordan is the worlds richest athlete and he is greatest basketball player. Even his journey was not an easy one. Michael saw many failures in his career too. His first rejection started when he is high school and enrolled for basketball team. Since then he developed a competitive spirit towards the game. He never gave up his love towards basketball. Never gave up his practice even though he had many failures.

No one expected that he would win the Nobel Prize in Physics for his predictions and proved science with theory and practical.

JK ROWLING

JK Rowling, the only thing comes in our mind when we hear or see this name is “HARRY POTTER”. I wonder how could she imagine such wonderful and unimaginable series. Her life is one of the most uncomfortable and she dint even had a penny to spend for herself before her books got published and got the fame. She was in so poor condition and had to raise as child as only mother was most painful. She led her life on Government welfare before her books got the range. But now is one of the richest women in UK.

And all we know is his success and how famous how incredible actor he is. But no one knows how bad his past was. He was rejected in ‘All India Radio’ for his voice!! which we enjoy now. His first 12 films were big flop. But now we can see in which position he is and how he shined. He is the Best actor ever and no one can replace him.

OPRAH WINFREY

She was rejected by a News channel saying that she is unfit for TV Programs. But now she is the host of world’s most successful and famous talk show.

Thank you. This is very inspiring :) I've written a similar post in my website (mine is in personal development niche) and still found their life story as intriguing and inspiring as ever.

Cheers,

Great inspirational post thank you

Michael Jordan won all those championships. What are you talking about?

Think she is referring to his school days , I expected he to has had bad days though

thanks jeg12 for the inspiration.

Inspiration, I am grateful to these people who are there for everyone to look up to, especially when things do not go your way. Thanks Jeg for the post.

Very motivational. Failure is really a subjective term. I believe that you have failed only when you believe that you have and stop trying; as long as you still have hope, the sky is your limit.

I can't agree with you more. Failure is just a lesson.

Thank you, Jeg

Thank you for the inspiration! It helps in reminding me how others faced adversity and overcame their struggles. However, they kept the courses and their visions came true.

That's what keeps me going.

Excellent post! If I'm not mistaken, didn't Alexander Graham Bell have numerous failures before the telephone finally worked. Also, I don't think the Wright Brothers flew an aircraft the first or second try, either.

Yes you are right. He failed 257 times and accidentally found the right method.
Amazing stuff.

Hi Michelle, nice post. As Bill Cosby once said "The desire to succeed has to be greater than the fear of failure."

THE WORLD IS AGAINST ME
"The world is against me," he said with a sigh.
"Somebody stops every scheme that I try.
The world has me down and it's keeping me there;
I don't get a chance. Oh, the world is unfair!

When a fellow is poor then he can't get a show;
The world is determined to keep him down low."
"What of Abe Lincoln?" I asked. "Would you say
That he was much richer than you are to-day

He hadn't your chance of making his mark,
And his outlook was often exceedingly dark;
Yet he clung to his purpose with courage most grim
And he got to the top. Was the world against him?

"What of Ben Franklin? I've oft heard it said
That many a time he went hungry to bed.
He started with nothing but courage to climb,
But patiently struggled and waited his time.

He dangled awhile from real poverty's limb,
Yet he got to the top. Was the world against him?
"I could name you a dozen, yes, hundreds, I guess,
Of poor boys who've patiently climbed to success;

All boys who were down and who struggled alone,
Who'd have thought themselves rich if your fortune they'd known;
Yet they rose in the world you're so quick to condemn,
And I'm asking you now, was the world against them?"
- Edgar A. Guest.

What a beautiful response. This could have been a post in itself. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Mimi, you're very welcome.

Thank you. This is brilliant we turn against ourselves and the world.
