How many times have we failed? Probably more times than we have succeeded. Have you ever wondered why all the famous people in life have an unfortunate past? A past full of failure and defeat. Thomas Edison was told by his teacher that he was too stupid to learn anything. Walt Disney was fired from a newspaper because he lacked imagination. Albert Einstein couldn't speak until he was 4 years old. Michael Jordan was cut from the high school basketball team. If those people had given up every time they failed or were rejected, we would have suffered from long dark nights. We wouldn't have our beloved Mickey Mouse (to be honest I don't mind not having Mickey, but if Donald Duck wasn't in my life, I would be devastated). Relativity would not have been theorized (which I know most students wouldn't object to), and finally, basketball would not be as popular as it is today. Believe it or not, those people succeeded because they have failed once. They have tasted the bitterness of defeat and wondered what success would feel like. If you look around you, you would realize those who have never failed, are the ones who will never be great. They are all that they can be. But you are not! You can be far greater than you are right now. Don't give up, get up. Try new things. Try everything. Keep trying. Until one day, a humble blogger like myself would write about you and say "without him/her, life would not be as we know it today".
