Never give up - I: Failure is always temporary, only giving up makes it permenant

 This is season for  exam results ...this post is for all students. If u didn't hit your target this time,never mind ..try again... Defeat is declare when u accept it, give your best next time.

Successful People Who Failed: 

Thomas Edison: 

 Chances are you have heard of Edison in relation to overcoming failure before.  He was a master of “trial and error”.

When asked about the many thousands of failures he had when trying to create the light-bulb he famously said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.“  But there is even more to it than that.  As a child he was thought to be dumb and told that he would never be a success by many of his teachers, because his mind would often wander in class.

Good thing for us that the greatest inventor in history did not listen.

Elvis Presley: 

You do not need to be a Elvis fan to acknowledge the impact he has had on popular music.  They don’t dub somebody the “King” of a form of music without a great amount of success.

But even for Elvis success came after failure.  His first recordings went nowhere.  After that he tried to join a vocal quartet and was told he, “couldn’t sing”.  Finally, right before he became popular, he was told, “You ain’t goin’ nowhere, son. You ought to go back to drivin’ a truck.”

Michael Jordan: 

It is hard to imagine it, but the Jordan, who is arguably the greatest basketball player ever, was once cut from his high school team.

As Jordan puts it, “I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot, and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

Vincent van Gogh:

 Van Gogh paintings these days sell for incredible amounts of money.  Four of his paintings have sold for more than 100 million dollars.

Yet, Van Gogh is a cautionary tale. In his life he was a failure.

He slowly began to build a “reputation” while he was alive, but he also had a ton of critics.  He burned and destroyed many of his paintings out of frustration and was known to only sell ONE PAINTING.

He did not work to overcome his failure and killed himself.  Soon after his death his work began to garner intense critical and financial success.
