Throughout history, all great achievers went through failures first. Cases in point include:
- Walt Disney who was once fired for his lack of creativity.
- Before they became famous, The Beatles were rejected by several recording companies.
- Thomas Alva Edison was one told by his teacher that he was stupid, but look at his range of inventions today.
- Michael Jordon also failed to make it to his high school basketball team.
Failure is actually a starting point for success. Why? Because when we fail, we learn. When we learn, we grow. And when we grow, we succeed.
So, don’t worry when we fail. Keep going because success is just waiting around the bend.

December 21, 2017 at 10:05 amthere is a saying. Do not strive for successful person but strive to become a valuable person.
Success is not everything. Depending what is a definition to each person. Generally when we said a successful person whom is rich and famous. How about unsung hero? or ordinary folk like me? I am just a normal person and not a rich or famous person but I think I am a valuable person to my family and friends. Giving a helping hands and doing some charitable jobs when those poor people in need is the best policy. That is the best way to define a person is valuable even though he or she is not successful
