Successful People Who Failed:
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.
