I put together a list of indisputably successes, from movie stars to scientists, who experienced great failure before they found fame and fortune.
Weaker people might have given up. Instead, these folks remained focused on their goals. Some of them even change the world.
1. Oprah Winfrey was publicly fired from her first television job as an anchor in Baltimore for getting "too emotionally invested in her stories."But Winfrey didn't give up as she later, she tried again and became the undisputed queen of television talk shows before amassing a media empire. Today she is worth a cool $3 billion, according to Forbes.
2.Colonel Harland David Sanders was sacked from several jobs before establishing a fried chicken empire. He traveled across the U.S. looking for someone to sell his fried chicken, and after finally getting a business deal in Utah, Kentucky Fried Chicken was born. KFC is now one of the most recognizable franchises in the world, with over 18,000 locations .
3. This one looks so funny, Sir Isaac Newton's mother pulled him out of school as a boy so that he could run the family farm. He failed miserably but failing is not the end he later went to school and became a guru in Physics and Mathematics.
4. Thomas Edison's teachers told him he was "too stupid to learn anything". That's enough to stop him from making it in life but he didn't allow that one to discourage him but it motivated him to succeed. He was later fired from his later two jobs for not been productive but that didn't stop him. Edison went on to hold more than 1,000 patents and invented some world-changing devices , like the phonograph, practical electrical lamp, and a movie camera. That's awesome.
5.Albert Einstein's communication and behavioral problems were not indicative of a lack of intelligence. He went on to win the Nobel prize in physics for the discovery of the photoelectric effect , and his special theory of relativity theory corrected the deficiencies of Newtonian physics.

Finally, Steve Jobs was a college drop out, a fired tech executive and an unsuccessful businessman. At 30-years-old he was left devastated after being unceremoniously removed from the company he founded.

In a 2005 Commencement speech and Stanford University, Jobs explained, I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life".
After his return to Apple, Jobs created several iconic products, including the iPod , iPhone and iPad which have changed the face of consumer technology forever.And Jobs became one of the richest in the world.
Benjamin Franklin once said: “The man who does things makes many mistakes, but he never makes the biggest mistake of all - doing nothing.”
Many of the world’s wealthiest people have failed in business, some more than once. What sets them apart from other ‘failures’ is their ability to learn from their experiences and put failure behind them. We should never be afraid to fail; only to fail to learn from our failures.
Failure can be a great teacher – it teaches us what not to do.
Our lives are filled with goal-setting and working to achieve those goals, and when we do something that doesn’t get us where we want to be we can choose to either give up or to try something else. And at that point we already know one approach that won’t work.
Failure is a motivator. Nobody likes to fail and it can make us even more determined to find success.
Failure is never seen as the end result of a drive toward a goal; it’s only a setback.
This ability to fall and rise again builds character in a person...Culled from Cornerstone Business solution.
Don't doubt yourself.
Obstacles are out there. They are meant to be overcomed.
No adventure worth undertaking is easy. Everyone who achieves success faces obstacles.
What makes (or breaks) a person is how they react to the obstacles and road blocks in their life and what they do (or do not do) to overcome these setbacks.
Take a hint from the successful people who have failed and do not let these obstacles hold you back. Remeber!! 'if you have never failed then you have never lived'.
Now let me know about YOUR missteps and failures. What have you learned?
Perhaps some historic figure has inspired you that way that the successful people who have failed above have inspired me.
