J.K. Rowling said,
“It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all–in which case, you fail by default.”
It easy to stand on the sidelines of life, when the world is full of critics and skeptics.
You can sit back and do nothing or you can fail like these people:
Steve Jobs
At 30 years old he was left devastated and depressed after being unceremoniously removed from the company he started.
Michael Jordan
After being cut from his high school basketball team, he went home, locked himself in his room and cried.
The Beatles
Rejected by Decca Recordin studios, who said, “We don’t like their sound … they have no future in show business.”
Walt Disney
Fired from a newspaper for “lacking imagination” and “having no original ideas.”
Oprah Winfrey
Was demoted from her job as a news anchor because she, “Wasn’t fit for television.”
Albert Einstein
He wasn’t able to speak until he was almost 4 years old and his teachers said he would “never amount to much.”
Are you ready to start failing living more than ever before?
