Shortly afterward he suffered a nervous breakdown. He then fell in love, only for his love to die too. Before running for presidency he ran 2 businesses that failed. Abraham Lincoln’s list of failures is so long it’s a miracle he managed to keep trying until he found success. As well as becoming one of the worlds most successful inventors.Ī president of the United States also had his fair share of failures. Determination or ignorance Thomas Edison’s confidence in himself allowed him to bring the modern world alive. Everyone remembers Thomas Edison for the lightbulb which he is famous for failing 1000 times, but he also had 1,093 different patents out for inventions, with only a handful being successful. That is exactly what happened to Thomas Edison. If you were told by your teachers that you were “too stupid to learn” as well as being fired from your first two jobs for lack of productivity it may look like you weren’t destined to do a lot with your life, from an outside perspective. Walt Disney is one of the most famous names in the world! What would have happened if he gave up after his first failure? Don’t be afraid to fail… You could be the future Walt Disney, you just have to keep going no matter what. Then Mickey Mouse is created and the rest is history.

Success finally came to him when he created the character “Oswald the Rabbit” however it is short-lived, he doesn’t trademark the character and his artists leave him to work for his distributor. Undeterred he continued where it’s alleged he got rejected dozens more times.At times he is so poor that he had to eat dog food to afford his rent.

He started working for a newspaper where he got fired because he “lacked imagination and had no good ideas”. Now he is a MASSIVELY successful comedian.ġ920’s America, In a dysfunctional family where the children are running away from their father one young man, had a penchant for drawing.

A failure this hard would deter most people from going after their dreams but not Jim Carrey. He got his first ever gig at a comedy club in Toronto, he stepped up on stage filled with nerves and fright for his big moment… and got booed off. He became a janitor with the hopes of one day bringing laughter to the world. And dropped out of school when he was 15. In Toronto, Canada a man was born into a lower-income family. And all you have to do is keep persisting no matter what! These are the people who didn’t quit until they were successful. So don’t be afraid to fail! These real life success stories are a reminder that anything is possible for you. Their ability to keep saying yes in the face of all odds and standing by their passion does. Fate, luck, and talent don’t decide somebodies ability to succeed.

They stop stretching toward their goal and settle. It seems like the majority of people who fail at their dreams is too quick to give up.
