When
you feel a little discouraged, just remember what these people
accomplished when everyone else looked at them as failures. Believe in
Yourself!Einstein was 4 years old before he could speak. Isaac Newton
did poorly in grade school and was considered unpromising. When Thomas
Edison was a youngster, his teacher told him he was too stupid to learn
anything. He was counseled to go into a field where he might succeed by
virtue of his pleasant personality. F.W. Woolworth got a job in a dry
goods store when he was 21, but his boss would not permit him to wait on
customers because he didn't have enough sense to close a sale. Michael
Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team.Bob Cousy, a
legendary Boston Celtic basketball player, suffered the same fate, but
he too is a Hall of Famer.A newspaper editor fired Walt Disney because
he lacked imagination and had no original ideas. Winston Churchill
failed 6th grade and had to repeat it because he did not complete the
tests that were required for promotion.Babe Ruth struck out 1,300 times,
a major league record.A person may make mistakes, but is not a failure
until he or she starts blaming someone else. We must believe in
ourselves, and somewhere along the road of life we will meet someone who
sees greatness in us and lets us know it.
