Taking forward my last blog on Dont Quit, i i have collected some small real life stories of people who have turned failure into success. These stories have i have recieved on mail from different people over a period of time.
In 1962, four nervous young musicians played their first record audition
For the executives of the Decca Recording Company.
The executives were not impressed. While turning down this group of musicians,
One executive said, ” We don’t like! Their sound. Groups of guitars are
On the way out.”
The group was called
The Beatles.

In 1944, Emmeline Snively, director of the Blue Book Modeling Agency
Told modeling hopeful Norma Jean Baker,
” You’d better learn secretarial work or else get married”.
She went on and became
Marilyn Monroe.
——————————————–
When
Thomas Edison invented the light bulb,
He tried over 2000 experiments before he got it to work.
A young reporter asked him how it felt to fail so many times.
He said, ” I never failed once. I invented the light bulb.
It just happened to be a 2000-step process”.
——————————————-
In the 1940s, another young inventor named
Chester Carlson
Took his idea to 20 corporations, including some of the biggest in
The country.
They all turned him down. In 1947, after 7 long years of rejections,
He finally got a tiny company in Rochester, NY, the Haloid Company,
To purchase the rights to his invention–an electrostatic
Paper-copying process.
Haloid became
Xerox Corporation.
——————————————
A little girl–the 20th of 22 children,
Was born prematurely and her survival was doubtful. When she was 4 years old,
She contracted double pneumonia and scarlet fever,
Which left her with aparalyzed left leg.
At age 9, she removed the metal leg brace she had been dependent on
And began to
Walk without it. By 13 she had developed a rhythmic walk,
Which doctors said was a miracle. That same year she decided to become a runner.
She entered a race and came in last. For the next few years every
Race she entered,
She came in last.
Everyone told her to quit, but she kept on running. One day she
Actually won a race.
And then another. >From then on she won every race she entered.
Eventually this little girl–
Wilma Rudolph, went on to win three Olympic gold medals.
—————————————-
A schoolteacher scolded a boy for not paying attention to his mathematics
And for not being able to solve simple problems.
She told him that you would not become anybody in life.
The boy was
Albert Einstein
MORAL:

According to the story of Einstein I have heard, it was the history teacher who scolds Einstein. Einstein had a great interest in Mathematics since his childhood days and he becomes a student of a mathematician after dropping out of the school…
Adding to Edison’’s invention… You know what, Edison invented a light bulb, before one (other than him) could realise a need for it. Isn”t it a great forethinking??
one small girl(5 yrs or so) was laffed at whn she freezed on stage…turned out tht she won da best dabator n best elocutionist for almost all her middle n high school yrs… yup…dats me…:D…

Try and try again till you suceed, but in no case turn to drugs or substance for support. You may fail a couple of times but will live to enjoy your success but when you depend upon any substance you are living to die an early death.
