Thomas Edison once said, "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up; the most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time."
Failure is a stepping-stone to success, and this was well-showcased by your cover story (Why Failure is a Good Kickstart to Success, Dec 11). History is rife with examples proving the same - what better instance can there be than the person who teachers considered 'too stupid to learn anything' - and then went on to be one of the world's greatest inventors. Even after failing time and time again, Ed-ison put a positive spin on it by saying, "I have not failed. I've just found 1,000 ways that won't work." Albert Einstein could not speak till the age of four, and was expelled from school, yet he is now known as one the world's greatest thinkers. Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin and Walt Disney have all been rejected outright. J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter was turned down by 12 publishers before turning into a hit and making her a household name.
A common thread between these success stories is the fact that each one of these stars pursued their dreams and persevered until success came knocking. It's a whole lot of hard work and sacrifice that goes into a success story. But most importantly, it is the drive and the belief in hard work that helps them achieve the seemingly impossible. It is not easy, but if it were, everybody would be successful. It is those people who don't just dare to dream but strive to make their dreams a reality, who ultimately find success.
As Steve Jobs so aptly put it, "The ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do."
