EVERY SUCCESS STORY IS ALSO A STORY
OF GREAT FAILURE
Failure is the highway to success. Tom
Watson Sr. said, "If you want to succeed,
double your failure rate." If you study history,
you will find that all stories of success are
also stories of great failures. But people don't
see the failures. They only see one side of the
picture and they say that person got lucky:
"He must have been at the right place at the right time."
Let me share someone's life history with you.
This was a man who failed in business at the
age of 21 ; was defeated in a legislative race at
age 22; failed again in business at age 24;
overcame the death of his sweetheart at age
26; had a nervous breakdown at age 27; lost a
congressional race at age 34; lost a senatorial
race at age 45; failed in an effort to become
vice-president at age 47; lost a senatorial race
at age 49; and was elected president of the
United States at age 52.
This man was Abraham Lincoln.
Would you call him a failure?
He could have quit. But to Lincoln, defeat was
a detour and not a dead end.
In 1913, Lee De Forest, inventor of the triodes
tube, was charged by the district attorney for
using fraudulent means to mislead the public
into buying stocks of his company by
claiming that he could transmit the human
voice across the Atlantic. He was publicly
humiliated.
Can you imagine where we would
be without his invention?
A New York Times editorial on December 10,
1903, questioned the wisdom of the Wright
Brothers who were trying to invent a machine,
heavier than air, that would fly. One week
later, at Kitty Hawk, the Wright Brothers took
their famous flight.
Colonel Sanders, at age 65, with a beat-up car
and a $100 check from Social Security,
realized he had to do something.
He remembered his mother's recipe and went
out selling.
How many doors did he have to
knock on before he got his first order?
It is estimated that he had knocked on more
than a thousand doors before he got his first
order. How many of us quit after three tries
, ten tries, a hundred tries, and then we say we
tried as hard as we could?
As a young cartoonist, Walt Disney faced
many rejections from newspaper editors,
who said he had no talent.
One day a minister at a church hired him to
draw some cartoons. Disney was working out
of a small mouse infested shed near the
church. After seeing a small mouse, he was
inspired. That was the start of Mickey Mouse.
Successful people don't do great things, they only do small things in a great way.
One day a partially deaf four year old kid
came home with a note in his pocket from his
teacher, "Your Tommy is too stupid to learn,
get him out of the school." His mother read
the note and answered, "My Tommy is not
stupid to learn, I will teach him myself."
And that Tommy grew up to be the great
Thomas Edison. Thomas Edison had only
three months of formal schooling and he was
partially deaf.
Henry Ford forgot to put the reverse gear in
the first car he made.
Do you consider these people failures?
They succeeded in spite of problems,
not in the absence of them.
But to the outside world, it appears as though
they just got lucky.
All success stories are stories of great failures.
The only difference is that every time they
failed, they bounced back. This is called
failing forward, rather than backward. You
learn and move forward. Learn from your
failure and keep moving.
Below are more examples of the failures of
successful people of Blogspot and facebook:
1. Thomas Edison failed approximately
10,000 times while he was working on the
light bulb.
2. Henry Ford was broke at the age of 40.
3. Lee Iaccoca was fired by Henry Ford II at
the age of 54.
4. Young Beethoven was told that he had no
talent for music, but he gave some of the best
music to the world

Time defines a period during which an action, process or condition exists or continues. Time is a scarce resource(‘time is gold’). It is more valuable than money as money can be earned (‘time is money’). Time is fixed and we cannot change it. Every human being on earth has the same amount of time -60 seconds in a minute; 60 minutes in an hour; 1,440 minutes in a day and 525,600 minutes in a year. You can't recycle wasted time.
