Check Out List Of 5 Highly Successful People That Have Failed Woefully In Life

Before their success, some of the world’s most highly successful people experienced epic failure. We celebrate their success but often overlook the path that got them there. A path that is often marked with failure. 

An American Author , Elbert Hubbard once said ,'' There is no failure except if you no longer try''.

The way to success isn’t always easy, but you can do it!

If you failed to success on your first try, don’t stress too much about it. Here are 15 successful people who failed (for a couple of times) before they were recognized by their glorious success.

Let's explore the list.....

1.Sir James Dyson

You know that frustrating feeling when you don’t get something on the first attempt?

Multiply that by 5,126 because that’s the number of failed prototypes Sir James Dyson went through over the course of 15 years before creating the eponymous best-selling bagless vacuum cleaner that led to a net worth of $4.5billion.

If he gave up every single time he failed, he would not have been a successful entrepreneur who has successfully manufactured some of the best household appliances.

2.Steven Spielberg

His cinematic output has grossed more than $9 billion and brought him three Academy Awards, but the master of the blockbuster was rejected TWICE by the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts. Aside from that, this director also struggled with dyslexia which made it harder for him to cope with school.

To date, he has won 11 Emmys, 3 Oscars, and 7 Golden Globes, and he’s one of the most successful directors of today’s time.

The school finally build  a building in honor of Spielberg

3.Thomos Edison

We know him right? In what might be at once the most discouraging statement and worst teaching practice of all time, Thomas Edison was told by his teachers he was ‘too stupid to learn anything’. Ver demeaning right?

Edison went on to hold more than 1,000 patents, including the phonograph and practical electric lamp.

Death most likely spared his teachers the ignominy of their incorrect assessment. Edison is now known as one of the most successful inventors who ever lived, and his creations changed the lives of billions of people.

4. Walt Disney

Can you imagine your childhood without Disney? Well it could easily have been if Walt had listened to his former newspaper editor. The editor told Walt he ‘lacked imagination and had no good ideas’. Undeterred, Old Walt went on to create the cultural icon that bears his name.

“I think it’s important to have a good hard failure when you’re young… Because it makes you kind of aware of what can happen to you. Because of it I’ve never had any fear in my 

whole life when we’ve been near collapse and all of that. I’ve never been afraid.”

When you feel like jumping into the river, always remember this quote.

5.Albert Einstein

You want to achieve success? Let Albert Einstein teach you how to .

His name is synonymous with intelligence yet it wasn’t always that way for Albert Einstein. As a child he didn’t start speaking until he was four, reading until he was seven, and was thought to be mentally handicapped. If he gave up and never persevered, his most important theories could not have been known.

He went on to win a Nobel Prize and altered the world’s approach to physics. I guess he was just thinking of the right thing to say for those first four years…

FINAL THOUGHT

The famous and highly successful people’s crowning achievements stem from drive and determination as much as ability.

Persistence and certitude are the difference between success and failure. So if you want to succeed, don’t be afraid to fail.
