Okay many of us failed and I know it is really hard to control our emotions and feelings. We do feel bad but I would like you to consider this:
-Stephen Chow was once been told he cannot make it in the entertainment industry because he was not handsome. One of his best quote, "I used to cry when I watched Chaplin's films. It was from him that I learned about the role of the underdog. And because I'm also from a poor family, this kind of thing moved me and I found that it also worked for the audience because most of them are like me - ordinary guys."
-Soccer star Jamie Carragher scored many own goals in the past and was only used as a substitute in his club Liverpool. Now he is one of the best defender in the world.
-Beethoven handled the violin awkardly and preferred playing his own compositions instead of improving his technique. His teacher called him hopless as a composer.
-Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor for lack of ideas. Walt Disney also went bankrupt several times before he built Disneyland.
-Thomas Edison's teachers said he was too stupid to learn anything.
-Albert Einstein, one of the greatest scientist in history, did not speak until he was 4, and didn't read until he was 7, His teacher discribed him as "mentally slow, unsociable and adrift forever in his foolish dreams." He was expelled and was refused admittance to the Zurich Polytechnic Scool.
-Isaac Newton did very poorly in grade school.
-Winston Churchhill failed 6th grade. He did not become Prime Minister of England until he was 62, and then only after a lifetime of defeats and setbacks. His greatest contributions came when he was a "senior citizen."
-Sylvester Stallone was once a problem kid. The left part of his face is paralyzed, which results to snarling look and slightly slurred speech. Was rejected in many movies auditions.
-When Glenn Cunningham was young, he had his legs so badly burned that doctors advised to amputate it. It was not amputated but his legs became one shorter than the other. He was determined to recover. From wheelchair to clutches, then he started walking normally. Soon he was running. He became a world class runner and was considered as "World Fastest Human Being".
